Notes:

In this couplet, the Tamil word “பிண்டம்” (Pindam) refers to bodies which exist or subsist in worlds (Tamil: அண்டம் or Andam).

The Tamil phrase “பிண்டமு மதிலுறு பிண்டமும்” means “bodies within bodies”. It may refer to the physical, subtle, and “causal” bodies. The subtle body is within the physical. The causal or “root” body is within the subtle body.

OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

Notes:

This couplet in the concluding part of the Arutperunjothi Agaval again affirms the existence of innumerable intelligent governors (Tamil: அலகிலாத் தலைவர்கள்) of the worlds of Tattvas (Tamil: தத்துவம் or Tattuvam) or fundamental elements and categories of existence. The OmniLight, pervades, illuminates, and expands in all these worlds.

These higher beings and their own worlds are inaccessible to humans and extraterrestrials in our universe. Therefore, the revelations of OmniLight to Ramalingam, as expressed in these couplets, are the only sources of our conceptions of their existence.

Notes: Sattars (Tamil: சத்தர்) are entities which bear and wield Shaktis or powers, forces, or energies. They are immeasurable in number and variety. This couplet also affirms that the OmniLight’s computation, fine-tuning, and organization of their existence is immeasurable.

Notes:

The Shaktis (Tamil: சத்தி or Satti) are various powers or energies operative in worlds. This couplet affirms that these Shaktis and the worlds in which they operate are both innumerable. The marvelous unity of the nature of these powers or energies and the worlds in which they operate is a function of the stupendous fine-tuning and organization by OmniLight.

Notes:

The Tamil term “பரசிவ பதி” refers to the realm, abode, cosmos, level, of pure consciousness-intelligence (Tamil: சிவம் or Sivam). This couplet affirms that this highest, level, realm, and cosmos of pure consciousness-intelligence, completely bereft of ignorance and suffering, has its sovereign worlds. Presumably, these highest worlds have their appropriate class of beings.
