Explanation of song:

People worship the feet of sun in the evening.
Isn't sun form of hara ?
Four vEdas (starting with) Rig worship only Ishvara.
Those with stone like mind do not understand the concept.

Notes:
1. People who do not understand the concept of God,
worship various divines to be different and develop 
misconceptions. Due to the lack of understanding 
they even think that vEdas hail various divines like
agni, indra... Those who realize know that these are
nothing but the powers of the Supreme only.

 - Rig vEda. (For more /shaivism-a-perspective/why-does-the-supreme-god-given-vedas-praise-the-devas )
2. For this reason (hailing God through Its multiple 
forms exposed) vEdas are known "podhu" (common) in
hailing the Supreme concept and Agamas are called
"ciRappu" (special) as the explicitly hail as Lord shiva.
3. arukkan - sun.
