22. Kovil-Thiruppathigam “Oh Effulgence who arises in my mind as I beg and melt and melt! Oh God whose red lotus feet shines on the heads of heavenly ones! Oh Civan abiding in Thirupperunthurai! You are all-pervasive ether, water, earth, fire and wind and yet none of these; but you are concealed in them all. Having seen You clearly to-day with my own eyes I feel happy". (22:6) “This day out of grace to me You manifest in my mind like a rising sun dispelling the darkness; I thought of your nature till all mythinking ceased to be. Oh Civan abiding in Thirupperunthurai whose none-but "Youness goes forth and goes forth into all things as atom by infinitesimal atom till You alone are there! You are not any particular thing but Without You there is nothing. Who can know You as Thou art?" (22:7) “Oh Expanse of diffuse light which spiringing over the earth, the Worlds and the entire universe pervades in them! Oh Fire in water! Oh Ninmalaa (without bonds) who is rare of conception! Oh Honey exuding in my devout mind exalted by the delight of your grace! Oh Civan abiding in Thirupperunthurai : Oh Effulgence who transforms me into Bliss! Who are kindred to me here? Who are strangers to me? (22:8) 563
