நம்பனை ஆதியை நான்மறை ஓதியைச்
செம்பொனின் உள்ளே திகழ்கின்ற சோதியை
அன்பினையாக்கி அருத்தி ஒடுக்கிப் போய்க்
கொம்பேறிக் கும்பிட்டுக் கூட்டமிட்டாரே.

Translation of moolar thirumandtiram:

Our Beloved, the Source, One Who told the four vedas,
the Splendor that glitters inside the flawless gold,
for That God, making love, putting down the desires,
climbing the pole Saluted and became part of the crowd !

Notes:
1. This thirumanthiram is the chapter regarding the 
samAdhi in aShTanga yOga. thirumUlar explains the
build up to come to the peak of ashtanga yoga - the
samAdhi. All these chapters give great phases the
yOga practitioner passes through to come to this great
state. At this stage he says this samAdhi is the one 
achieved by the selfless devotees in the way of pure
love to God shiva.
2.  In this regard the thirupaDaiyATchi (49th padhikam) of 
thiruvAcakam is very much to be studies alongside to 
understand and realize the glory of this thirumanthiram.
A few statements from this padhikam:
   ... kanRai n^inain^thezu thAyena van^tha kaNakkathu AkAthE...
   ... caN^gu thiraNdu muranRezum Ocai thazaippana AkAthE ...
   ... cIraDiyArkaL civAnubavaN^kaL therin^thiDum AgAthE ...
