Penance

27

Thavam

Meditation

Uttranoi nondral uyirkurukan seiyamai
Atray thavathirku uru

Penance is forbearance not
Harming others sought

Thavamum thavamudaiyarku aagum avamathanai
Agthilar merkol vathu

Meditation suits good doers
Others it lowers

Thurandharku thuppouravu vendi marandharkol
Matrai yavargal thavam

To alm renunciators shun
Penance family men

Onnarth theralum uvandharai aakkalum
Ennini thavathan varum

To elate friends annihilate
Enemies meditations relate

Vendiya vendiyangu eyidhalal seithavam
Eendu muyala padum

Desired attained as wished
Meditate now dished

Thavamseivar thamkarumam seivarmatr allar
Avamseivar aasaiyul pattu

Renounced meditate - their job
Desires others rob

Chudachudaram ponpola olividum thunbam
Chudachuda nokkir pavarku

Fire repeated brightens gold
Worried meditate bold

Thannuyir thanarap petranai enaya
Mannuyir ellam thozhum 

Self thoughts shedded being
World worships seeing

Kootram gudhithaklum kaikoodum notralin
Aatral thalaipat tavarku

Meditation powers attained keep
One emerging leap

Ilarpalar aagiya karanam norpar
Silarpalar nola thavar

Rich few poor abounds
As meditation renounced
