Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 If You feel, I will not come up from the deluge of births, so be it.
My birth be wherever and in whatever tradition.
Oh Bhagavan! If I will be blessed by the droplets from the feet of 
Your devotees, who do not seek any other comfort than You,
then let me take all those births!

 Notes:

   கண்டு வீற்றிருக்கும் கருத்தொன்றிலோம்
   வண்டு சேர் மயிலாடுதுறை அரன்
   தொண்டர் பாதங்கள் சூடித் துதையிலே - அப்பர்
