To enjoy pleasures of life
Tamil Transliteration
Paarum punalum kanalum venngaalum padar visumbhum
Voorum murughu suvai oli vooroli vondrupadach
Cherum thalaivi sivakaama sundari seeradikkae
Saarum thavamudaiyaar padaiyaadha dhanamillaiyae
Translation
Thee Earth, Water, Fire, Air,
And Space in the outset of the genesis!
Permeating everywhere in detail;
Light, taste, touch, hearing
And smell for the subjects in action!
Ye! The beauty desired by Siva my Lord!
What wealth is left for those-
who surrender unto thy rich feet?
Simple meaning
Hey Abhirami! You are the five elements…earth, water, air, space and fire; you are the five senses…sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Those blessed souls, who surrender unto your feet, which are adorned by Maha Lakshmi, shall attain all riches.
Commentary
The cosmos is made up of the five basic elements; the miniature cosmos, that is, our body is guided by the five senses that are sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.
Thinking widely that the guiding principle is common and the cosmos is common to all, gives the emergent feeling of oneness with others and ultimately the Universe; moving under the shadow of this feeling which is rich in content makes a person rich in all spheres as there is no defeat for him.
