3640:##

kondal vaNNan chutarmudiyan* naan_gu thOLan kunichaarngan*
oN chaNGkathai vaaLaaziyaan* oruvan adiyENn uLLaanE. (2)	8.8.1

With eyes red and widened, with lips red like ripe fruit and in it,
pearly-white teeth sparkling, and with becoming fish-like ear-ornaments
dangling, a certain person of the nature of clouds, with sparkling crown,
four arms, bent bow, the lovely conch, mace, dagger and discus is within
me.

3641:
adiyENnuLLaan utaluLLaan* andaththagaththaan puRaththuLLaan*
padiyEyithu enRuraikkalaam padiyan* allan paramparan*
kadichEr naaRRaththuLLaalai* inbath thunbak kazinNErmai*
otiyaa inbap perumaiyOn* uNarvilumpar oruvanE.	8.8.2

He is in the heart of me, His vassal. He is inside my body. He is in
everything in the cosmic egg. He is in everything like Mahat (cosmic
intelligence) and ahamkAra (sense of belonging) beyond the cosmic egg. The
transcendental Lord cannot be spoken of as being such and such. He is the
posessor of perpetual bliss like the sweetness of honey with all
fragrances besides its own, free of all bitterness. He is uniquely
super-intelligent (jnAnAnadamaya).

3642:
uNarvilumpar oruvanai* avanathu aruLaal uRalporuttu*
en_uNarviNnuLLE iruththinEn* athuvum avanathu innaruLE*
uNarvum uyirum utampum* maRRa ulappilanavum pazudhEyaam*
uNarvaip peRavoornNthiRavERi* yaanum thaanaay ozindhaanE. 	8.8.3

Enabled to turn towards Him by His grace, I kept Him the unique one of the
knowledgeable nityasuris in my heart. Even that is His own sweet will.
Having enlightened me with the realization that conciousness, life-force,
body and all other aberrations are unremunerative, He stayed as if I and
He are one (ananyArha sEsatvam).

3643:
yaanum thaanaay ozindhaanai* yaathum yavarkkum munnOnai*
thaanum chivanum piramanumaagip* paNaiththa thanimuthalai*
thEnum paalum kannalum* amuthumaagith thiththiththu*
en oonil uyiril uNarvinil* ninRa onRai uNarndhEnE.  	8.8.4

I realied the unique one, deposited in my body, life-force and mind
(annamaya, prAnamaya and manomaya sheaths) as if I and He are one, the
master of all cetanas and acetanas as the foremost of Himself (as Visnu),
Brahma and Siva (in controlling the destinies of these) as palatable as
honey, milk, sugar-candy and nectar.

3644:
ninRa onRai uNarndhEnukku* athanuL nErmai athuvithuvenRu*
onRum oruvarkku uNaralaagaadhu* uNarndhum mElum kaaNparithu*
chenRu chenRu paramparamaay* yaathuminRith thEyndhaRRu*
nanRu theethenRu aRivaridhaay* nanRaay NYaanam kadandhathE. 	8.8.5

The soul, (the permanent one remaining after the discarding of the body,
life and mind sheaths) taht I am now enlightened of cannot be understood
by anybody (however knowledgeable) as of such and such inherent nature,
much less visualized. By itself, it is benign, beyond awareness of good
and evil and beyond perception of sense organs when devoid of the other
entities (the first 24 entities of the sankhya) one after the other.

3645:
nanRaay NYaanam kadandhupOy* nal_inNthiriyam ellaam eerththu*
onRaayk kidandha arumperumpaaz* ulappil athanai uNarndhuNarndhu*
chenRaaNGku inba thunbangaL* cheRRuk kaLaindhu pachaiyaRRaal*
anRE appOthEveedu* athuvE veedu veetaamE.	8.8.6

Becoming pure by overcoming the sense perceptions and conquering the five
sense organs, if one ponders deeply about the futility of the innumerable
and non-enduring temptations which come all together causing happiness and
miseries, and destroy them and the propensity towards them, this
rebnunciation will, there and then, result in release enabling one to
attain mOksa.

3646:
athuvE veedu veedu pERRu* inbanNthaanum athudhERi*
ethuvE thaanum paRRinRi* yaathu miligaLaagiRkil*
athuvE veedu veedu pERRu* inbanNthaanum athudhERaathu*
`ethuvE veedu Edhu inbam?'enRu* eyththaar eyththaar eyththaarE. 	8.8.7

Thos who have no discretion in knowing what is moksa and the bliss
thereof, which does not pass for the (mere) release (from worldly
bondage) and the bliss (of the self) derived there from (kaivalya) will
become weary (even) if they are freed of everything without being attached
to anything (ahamkAra, mahat etc.) by thinking that this (Kaivalya) is
moksa and the bliss of the self is the (real) bliss.

3647:
eyththaar eyththaar eyththaarenRu* illaththaarum puRaththaarum-
moyththu* aaNG_gal aRi_muyangath* thaampOkum pOthu*
unmaththar_pOl piththEyERi anNuraagam poziyumpOthu* em pemmaanOdu-
oththEchenRu* aNGkuLLamkootak* kootiRRaagil nalluRaippE.	8.8.8

It is the proper thing to do to go along with the Lord and keep one's mind
with Him, at the time of departure from this world where the household and
people around press forward and cry in delirium saying, "Alas! heis gone,
he is gone, he is gone" like madmen with infatuation, poiring from their
(pretended) attachment.

3648:
kootiRRaagil nalluRaippuk* kootaamaiyaik kootinaal*
aadal paRavai uyar_koti* em_maayaNn aavathathu athuvE*
veetaip paNNi oruparichE* ethirvum nigazvum kazivumaay*
Otith thiriyum yOkigaLum* uLarumillai allarE.	8.8.9

If one thinks impossible things possible by the merger (of the soul in the
Lord) as the correct doctrine, then he will become my wonderous Lord with
the swinging garuda as his high banner. They (Lord and cetana) are the
respective ones (two different entities). There have always been yogis
roaming about in the past in the present and in the future who think that
a small gain (like being rid of avidya) is moksa.. You cannot deny their
existence.

3649:
uLarumillai allaraay* uLaraayillai aagiyE*
uLaremmoruvar avarvandhu* en_uLLaththuLLE uRaikinRaar*
vaLarum piRaiyum thEypiRaiyumpOl* achaivum aakkamum*
vaLarum chutarum iruLumpOl* theruLum maruLum maayththOmE.	8.8.10

The Lord, the One endowed with all auspicious qualities who is not there
either for those who say that He exists with His qualities (sesvara
sankhya - the theorists who accept the existence of god-head but only as
just another entity), or for these for whom His existence itself is not a
fact (nirisvara sankhya - those theorists who deny His existence), is
posited inside my heart. We are rid of the mutations arising from the
mundane knowledge and ignorance like the growth and decay of the waxing
and waning moon, and the brilliance and darkness of the sun (in its
presence and absence).

3650:##
theruLum maruLum maayththuth* than_thirundhu chempoR kazaladikkeez*
aruLiyiruththum ammaanaam* ayanaam chivanaam*
thirumaalaal aruLappatta chadakOpan* OraayiraththuL ippaththaal*
aruLi adikkeez iruththum* nNammaNNal karumaaNikkamE. (2)	8.8.11

Out Lord, pleasing like saffire, will be pleased to keep one at His feet
by these ten pasurams of the "Thousand" of CatakOpan graced by the Lord of
Sri, who is Brahma, Siva and Himself (as Visnu) and who is pleased to rid
him (Alvar) of false knowledge and ignorance and keep him at his feet with
reddish gold anklets.
