கட்டங்கந் தாமொன்று கையிலேந்திக்

இட்டங்கள் தாம்பேசி இல்லே புக்கு
    இடும்பலியும் இடக்கொள்ளார் போவாரல்லர்
பட்டிமையும் படிறுமே பேசாநின்றார்
    பார்ப்பாரைப் பரிசழிப்பார் போல்கின்றார்தாம்
அட்டிய சில்பலியும் கொள்ளார் விள்ளார்
    அழகியரே ஆமாத்தூர் ஐயனாரே.

thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
Holding an axe in the hand, riding a fast bull, 
with ornaments of skulls, talking sweet, entering
into the house He neither accepts the alms nor
does He leave; He spoke inappropriate and fraudulent
words; Looks like the One Who would make those 
who see him lose their character. He neither accepts
the small alms offered nor does He speak out.
Beautiful is the Chief of thiruvAmAththUr !

Notes:
1. This is an agaththuRai song. This song also 
indicates the subtle concept of divine grace.
God, as identified by the exterior characteristics
is got to be seen by the soul. Due to the grace 
on the soul, the Sweet one gets into the house 
of heart in the guise of something else. At the 
later stage He does not leave away the matured 
soul, completing the action what He seemed to 
have come for. Through the power of illusion,
pulls out the soul from its characteristic of being
stuck to the filth (and removes the illusion also)
(c.f. vanycate parivanycate - shrI rudram). He
does not get away with small alms. He wants the
whole self to be given ! He does not say things 
explicitly (what is the use of knowing the plan,
while He takes care of executing it smoothly !)
Isn't this the Beauty !!
