புந்தியொன்றி நினைவார் வினையாயின தீரப் பொருளாய
அந்தியன்னதொரு பேரொளியான் அமர் கோயில் அயலெங்கும்
மந்தி வந்து கடுவன்னொடும் கூடி வணங்கும் வலிதாயஞ்
சிந்தியாத அவர் தம் அடும் வெந்துயர் தீர்தல் எளிதன்றே.

thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:
The evening like great Light, Who stays as the Substance that 
nullifies the vinai of those who meditates with unified mind.
His abode is thiruvalithAyam, where female monkey comes
with the male one and worships. Those who do not bear in
mind (the Lord of valithAyam), for them it is not easy to get
rid of their striking hard gloom.

Notes:
1. Worshipping the God along with the whole family is a much
gratifying thing. Such worship brings in lots of advantages.
By the worship there comes not only the individual benefit, 
but the whole loved family gets uplifted. cambandhar refers
to worshiping God along with ones family in many places.

2. As an authority, cambanthar in this song uses both 
positive and negative statements to assure us the benefit
of worship. He depicts the virtue of getting out of vinai by
worshipping and also warns that one who does not should
have to undergo the fruits of their deeds without any choice.
3. man^thi - female monkey; kaDuvan - male monkey; aDum
- attack; vinai - deed/fate.
