Arutperunjothi Agaval: Couplet: 35
இயற்கையுண் மையதா யியற்கையின் பமுமாம்
அயர்ப்பிலாச் சிற்சபை யருட்பெருஞ் ஜோதி!
In
The
Immaculate
Mystic
Consciousness-Space
Of
Intrinsic
Reality
And
Inherent
Bliss,
OmniLight Of Supreme Compassion!
Notes:
Starting with couplet 14, these couplets refer to the higher spaces (Tamil: வெளி or Veli) and levels of consciousness in which the OmniLight manifests itself.
Another connotation of the Tamil expression “வெளி” (Veli), and its cognates “அம்பலம்” (Ambalam) and “சபை” (Sabhai), is the public hall, or assembly, or intersubjectively accessible space. Hence, the “public halls” or higher spaces of manifestation of OmniLight described in these couplets are accessible by qualified persons or beings in advanced states of conscious experience.
The Arutperunjothi Agaval is Ramalingam’s magnum opus of spiritual enlightenment poetry composed in 798 couplets in 1872.
