Notes:

This couplet affirms Ramalingam’s attainment of a luminous or radiant body by the supreme compassion of OmniLight.

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.
