thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
Rare One; Heart of the nice and cool hearted people;
Nucleus of the exceptional vedas; Miniscule One;
Principle that nobody knows; Honey-like; Milk-like;
Brilliant Light; The king of divines and then black one
(viShNu), four faced (brahma), fire, air, roaring ocean,
esteemed mountains - blend in all the Grand One Who stands,
the Lord of perum paRRap puliyUr, about Him, on whichever
day not spoken all those days are same as not born !

Notes:
1. Sixth thirumuRai is fully thiruththANDakam. In 
thirumuRai appar is the only one who has composed 
the songs of this construct. Hence he is called 
"thANDakac cathurar". This has in each half line
first two blocks have three "acai" and the following two
only two "acai". (It may be difficult to note this in the form
above as the blocks have been split into words for easy
understanding.)
2. As the song hails the glory of God that stands grand
intermingled with the divines, the five elements of the universe,
this pathikam is called "periya thiruththANDakam".
3. Given that the life is to uplift oneself to the great Bliss
God offers, the days spent without speaking the glory of that
God shiva, is not a day lived but is as good as a dead day !
4. As the vyAgrapAda maharshi worshipped in thillai, this 
abode is called perum paRRap puliyUr.
