pathimuthu nilai

engkum evaiyum eriyuRun-Ir pOl Ekam

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Everywhere and in everything,
like the heat in the (hot) water,
He, the only One, Who stays,
is all by Himself!

 Notes: 

1. God Shiva is omnipresent - in everything and everywhere
- like the heat that is indistinguishable in the hot water.
There may be a question now, whether the God then
depends on all these things for survival? No, the Lord
is on His own. God does not have a need that we can fulfill.
God is with us only due to the mercy on us
to put us in the Bliss.
   This song refers to the quality of Lord to be present 
everywhere and at the same time staying away undisturbed
by any of the things!
2. c.f. விறகில் தீயினன் பாலில் படு நெய்போல்
  மறைய நின்றுளன் - அப்பர்
