19. Thiruththasaangam “Oh babbling parrot dwelling in the flowery grove in which pollen swirls about in the air Which is the town where dwells our Lord Who rules over us and Who is the Partner of the Dame? “His town is Uththarakosamangai which all devotees praise and herald as Civapuram on earth” (19:3) “Oh parrot with red beak and green wings Tell me the name of the river of the Lord of our mind Who abides in Perunthurai." “Oh damsel ! Note that the river of our Master is the renowned Bliss which descends on earth frọm heaven to wash away the impurity of our minds.” (19:4) “Oh beautiful parrot with red beak like the Kinjuka rythrina indica) flower Tell me the mountain where dwells * Cloud, the King of ever lasting Perunthurai.” “Behold ! It is the Mountain which wielding the sword that the darkness in our heart may flee, bestows graciously bliss of release on us.” (19:5) 527
