திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்
தீயினும் வெய்யன் புனலினும் தண்ணியன்
ஆயினும் ஈசன் அருளறி வாரில்லை
சேயினும் நல்லன் அணியன்நல் அன்பர்க்குத்
தாயினும் நல்லன் தாழ்சடை யோனே. 8

Meaning of Thirumandhiram
Fierce than fire; Cooler than water;
Still nobody knows God's grace !
He is not somebody far-away, He
is One very close. For the ones
full of pure love, the long - low falling
Matted Haired Lord is better than
even mother !
Notes
1. It is the source of power; It is immeasurable;
It is unexplorable; Its grandness and power
may make feel frightened. But It is the Lord
Who is absolutely benevolent, showering the
boons, the One Who is called shiva - the
auspicious, Asutosha - easily pleased !
Actually for those who love It, It is the most
intimate and loving relation than own mother
herself !
c.f. thAyinum n^alla thalaivan - camban^dhar
2. punal - water; cEymai - far away; aNiyan
- close one.
