Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet 377:
தருமக வமுதாற் சத்திசத் தர்களை
அருளினிற் காக்கு மருட்பெருஞ் ஜோதி
Inmost ambrosia,
Inborn in inner Space,
Empowering Shaktis = சத்திகள்
Embodiments of cosmic energies,
Sustaining
சத்தர்கள் = Controllers of cosmic energies,
Counterparts of Shaktis,
By the Supreme Compassion of OmniLight!
Note:The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. The meditative recitation of these prayers helps to develop compassion for living beings.
Couplets 374 – 377 refer to the four ontological levels in Suddha Sanmargam metaphysics in the ascending order: outermost, outer, inner, and inmost. I have clarified these levels in an earlier post on the first couplet of the Arutperunjothi Agaval.
In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these verses.
