vIdumin muRRavum

(Azhvar advises others to seek the Lord through bhakti)

* vIdumin mutRavum * vIdu seydhu ** ummuyir
vIdudaiyAnidai * vIdu seymminE 1

Give up everything, surrender your soul to the Maker, and accept his protection.

minnin nilaiyila * mannuyir AkkaigaL **
ennum idaththu * iRai unnumin nIrE 2

Fleetier than lightning, is the life of the body. Ponder a while on this matter yourself.

nIr numadhu enRivai * vEr mudhal mAyththu ** iRai
sErmin uyirkku * adhan nEr niRai illE 3

Uproot all thoughts of you and yours. Merge with the Lord, there is no greater fulfillment.

illadhum uLLadhum * alladhu avan uru **
ellaiyil annalam * pulgu patRatRE 4

The Lord is beyond being and non-being, Cutting all attachments, attain that infinite good.

atRadhu patRenil * utRadhu vIduyir **
setRadhu mannuRil * atRiRai patRE 5

When all attachments cease, the soul becomes free, So seek the eternal Lord and cut all attachments.

patRilan Isanum * mutRavum ninRanan **
patRilaiyAy * avan mutRil adangkE 6

The Lord has no attachment. He exists everywhere. Become freed of attachments and merge with him fully.

adangkezhil sampaththu * adangkak kaNdu ** Isan
adangkezhil aqdhenRu * adangkuga uLLE 7

Look at the Vast wealth of radiance all around. Know that all these are his, and merge into him.

uLLam urai seyal * uLLa immUnRaiyum **
uLLik keduththu * iRai uLLil odungkE 8

Go to the source of thought, word and deed. Direct them to him, and merge yourself too.

odungka avaN kaN * odungkalum ellAm **
vidum pinnum Akkai * vidum pozhudhu eNNE 9

When thus directed, all obstacies will vanish, Then wall for the moment of shedding the body.

* eNperukku annalaththu * oN poruL IRila **
vaN pugazh nAraNan * thiN kazhal sErE 10

Unite with the feet of the glorious Narayana, Lord of countless virtues. Lord of incomparable good.

* sErththadath * then kurugUrch sadakOpan sol **
sIrth thodai Ayiraththu * Orththa ippaththE 11

This decad of the thousand are the considered words bySatakapan Kurugur, surrounded by watere fields.

adivaravu: vIdu min nIr illadhu atRa patRu adangku uLLam odungka
eN sEr paththu
