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.
The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872. In later posts, I will offer commentaries on these couplets.
