Thou cam'st in grace, that all things false might flee, Thou art the heat ! and Thou the cold ! the Master Thou, O spotless One ! Lord of the VEdas! Rising, sinking, spreading, subtile One !

I came, attained the grace the 'Brow-eyed' showed,Īdored the beauteous foot by thought unreached. That thus my former 'deeds' may wholly pass. With joyous thought, Civan's 'Ways of Old' I'll tell, Praise to the Mount, in grace affording pleasures that cloy not !īecause He, Civan, within my thought abides,īy His grace alone, bowing before His feet, Praise to the foot of glorious Perun-turrai's God ! (15) Praise to the foot of the King, who cuts off delusive birth ! Praise to the foot of the Stainless, who in love stood near ! Praise to the foot of the Teacher ! Praise to Civan's roseate foot ! Praise to the foot of ICan ! Praise to my Father's foot ! Victory to the anklets of the glorious One, who uplifts those that bow the head ! (10) Victory to the anklets of the King, rejoicing 'mid those that fold adoring hands ! Victory to the flower-foot of Him Who is far from those without ! Victory to the jewelled foot of Pinnagan, who severs continuity of birth ! Victory to the foot of the King, who soothed my soul's unrest and made me His ! Hail, foot of Him, the One, the Not-One, and the King ! (5) Hail, foot of Him Who becomes, abides, draws near as the Agamam ! Hail, foot of the Guru-pearl that rules in GOgari ! Hail, foot of Him Who not for an instant quits my heart ! Hail, the five letters! Hail, foot of the Lord ! Here all the Tamil lines are of four feet, except the last, which has three only.

This has always been considered the first of MAnikka-vACagar's poems, and it has all the characteristics of a preface, as enumerated in the NannUl but its very technical completeness makes its genuineness doubtful and it rather apperars to have been added by the Tillai assembly when the lyrics of the Saint were first collected. It should be noted that the work is reproduced as is, and they do not express the view of on the subject.
