My good heart! See and perceive him who is capable of destruction as well as life giving,

See and perceive him who is within the 5 senses,

See and perceive him who is in wind, fire,water, sky and earth!

See and perceive him in the dark and forbiding mountains and in the raging seas!

**Pannindhen thirumeni paingkamalam kaiyaal ,annindhenun sevadimelyenbhai --thuninden purunthethi unnai pugalidam parthange irruthethi vazhum idhu. ........2246.

I bow before your sacred form,

I worship your pure feet with fragrant lotuses with my hands,

I have resolved to surrender to you as my ultimate refuge ,realising it to be the only way to reach your place and reside therein!

**Pandi perum padhi yakki pazhipavam kondingu vaazhvarai kooradhe--yendisaiyum perthagara naangudaiyaan perodhi pedhaigaal theerthakarar aamin thirindu! .......2195.

'O' Imbeciles! Instead of praising all those living on this earth who are only constantly engaged in enlarging their stomachs and in revengeful and sinful acts,

Chant the sacred names of the One who has infinite influence in all the 8 directions and immeasurable strength in his 4 shoulders.

And go on pilgrimages and sanctify the soil of this country.
