Decad:27 Punarchchippaththu (Decad of mystic union) Sub-title: Aththuvaitha llakkanam (Characteristics of non-duality) Sung at Thirupperunththurai Punarchi = union, paththu = decad. “When shall I dwell close by Him, joined in mystic embrace with my flawless Gem, the sparkling golden Hill, the unpierced Pearl, the shrine of Mercy, my sweet Ambrosia who gave Himself to me whom the dark Maal and Brahma being hindered cannot yet approach, who being pleased with my useless service, made me--this last laggard--His own? (27:1) “Oh King ! I Your devotee am not able to endure to be in this world. When am I to contemplate without sinking in the mire of the five senses, calling Oh, Civan our great Lord and like a spring in sandy soil, melting and melting internally and oozing, wail and praise Him while joining in mystic embrace with my flawless Gem?” (27:2) G17
