Tirumandiram - 38


I will sing his praise
Pidattrozhinyen Periyan Ariyanaip Pidattrozhiyen Pirava Uruvaanaip Pidattrozhiyen Engal Per Nandi Thannaip Pidattrozhiyen Perumai Thavan Yaan. The verses in this chapter are all of the nature of Bhakti Yoga or the path of devotion. Tirumoolar says in this verse that he will not stop ranting the name of this great one, who is a rare being. He wouldn't stop prattling of the glory of the unborn and formless one. He would not a moment stop from ranting the name of Nandi, nor would he stop from chanting the glory of the great Lord of all austerities. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 30

Why I call for Shiva?

Vaanindrazhaikkum Mazhai Pol Iraivanum
Thanindrazhaikkunkol Endru Thayanguvar
Aanindrazhaikkum Adupol Nandiyai
Naanindrazhaippadhu Gnanam Karudiye.

Just as the rains pour down from the sky, drawn by the earth, people hesitate if the self will draw them into itself. Just as the calf cries out to its mother cow for milk, I call upon Nandi - Shiva, so that I may be filled with his superconscious wisdom. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
