OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!

Notes:

In this couplet, Ramalingam continues to celebrate his realization of the OmniLight and the nature of his realization.

The Tamil word “குலம்” (kulam) refers to membership or fellowship in a group, usually a clan or tribe. In praising the OmniLight as his “greatest clan”, Ramalingam is implying that the Fellowship of the OmniLight, the Fellowship of its praise, pursuit, experience, and realization is the greatest fellowship.

The rhyming word “புலம்” (pulam) refers to field of specialization in knowledge and/or profession, a specialty. Ramalingam is celebrating that the OmniLight is his field of knowledge or specialty.

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.
