Chidambaram Ramalingam Pillai Jayanti

"cadal cadandane carai adain-dane candu condane koyil

cadavu tirandida petrane katchi ellam candane

adar cadanda tiru amudam undu arul oliyaal anaithum

arindu telindu arivu uruvaai azhi-aamai adain-dane

udal kulirndane uyir kilarn-dane ullam ellam tazhai-thane
ulla-padi ulla porul ullana-vaai nirain-dane

idar tavirkkum siddhi ellam en wasam onginawe
ithanaium podu nadam-sei iraiwan arut seyale!"

- Shri Ramalinga Adigalar

Sail across seas I did; reached ashore; recognized the shrine
doors gave way; visions they revealed

drunk upon nectar beyond gross; in light of grace
I knew all and clear; attained to intelligence of my eternity

cool, ecstatic, my heart brimmed over 
knowing things as they are,  in my un-distorted whole

ruses to defy suffering came into my grasp and  grew
all this is mere grace of that lord;  Dancer at the Hall

- Shri Ramalinga Adigalar
