மாணிக்கவாசகர் அருளிய திருவாசகம்

  
திருத்தோணோக்கம்
பிரபஞ்ச சுத்தி
எட்டாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

பூத்து ஆரும் பொய்கைப் புனலிதுவே எனக்கருதிப் 
பேய்த்தேர் முகக்குறும் பேதை குணம் ஆகாதே 
தீர்த்தாய் திகழ் தில்லை அம்பலத்தே திருநடஞ்செய்
கூத்தா உன் சேவடி கூடும் வண்ணம் தோள் நோக்கம்.

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of Tiruvasagam

  
You saved me out from getting into the quality of the fools
of trying to drink from the mirage thinking, "this is the 
water of blooming pond!" Oh the Artist Who dances
at the common hall of the brilliant thillai, 
in order to unite with Your Perfect foot, (let us play) aim the shoulder!

Notes

  
1. We started our journey in search of Bliss long back.
How many disillusionments on the way? 
What we thought of as happiness was less than
fulfilling if not total insidious disaster altogether.
Even when the soul realizes the need to progress
towards God and starts the spiritual journey,
still how many disillusionments on the way!
All kinds of groups, half-baked or even rootless arguments,
blind faiths, ego clashes, rituals without spirituality
and countless more... The journey is treacherous
and many get entrapped somewhere or the other.
It is the grace of Lord shiva that navigates one
who is able to hold on to It, safely through this way.
Our saint thanks here the Lord Who has saved him
and brought to unite in the Lord's glorious foot.

(It is very useful and recommended to read the 
following to understand from our saint this treacherous journey
a. pORRith thiruakaval till "thAyE Agi vaLarththanai pORRi"
/thirumurai/eighth-thirumurai-thiruvasagam/210/%20porrith-thiruagaval
b. thiruvaNDap pakuthi from line 126 to 145
/thirumurai/eighth-thirumurai-thiruvasagam/209/thiruvandap-pagudhi )

2. punal - water; pEyththEr - mirage.
