1) Civan a light The God of gods; the Warrior true; south Perun-turrai’s Chieftain dear; The First; the Blissful One, Whose forn the Three could not attain to know; The Flower full-blown of LIGHT is He, to all save to His loving ones, unknown ! UPON HIS MIGHTY ROSEATE FOOT’S PURE FLOWER OUR HEADS SHALL […]
1) Heretics. Not the sleek snake in anthill coil’d I dread; nor feigned truth of men of lies,- As I, in sooth, feel fear at night of those who have not learnt the Lofty-One To know; who near the Foot of the Brow-Ey’d,- our Lord, crown’d with the braided-lock,- Yet think there’s other God. When […]
It would be hard to find a more touching expression of absolute mystic self-renunciation than these verses contain. —– 1) Useless suffering If cruel pain oppress from ‘deeds of old,’ guard Thou Who ownest me! If I, a man of ‘cruel deeds’ Suffer, from this my woe doth any gain accrue? O light of Umai’s […]
THE SIGHT OF THE ‘GURU.’ —– This is one of the places which the Sage is said to have visited before seeing Cithambaram.

1) With melting mind I said not, ‘He is gold,’ ‘His is a ruby’s light;’ I languish’d pondering charms of damsels young. Boon indescribable, Mercies beyond compare, to me were given; He of the flowery foot, THE FATHER, MADE ME HIS, AND JOINED ME TO HIS SAINTS: SUCH WONDER HAVE WE SEEN! || 4 || […]
(THE INFINITY OF BLISS IN CIVAN) 1) Sever’d from Thee I cannot live. I, false, am sever’d from the flowr’y feet that, entering here, made my soul melt, distilling nectar sweet. Yet I, poor wretch, die not as yet; but, in a waking dream, the inner purpose of my soul I’ve lost. O Teacher,- King, […]
‘THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SACRED ENJOYMENT.’ 1) Show me Thy Face. With changing wiles the senses five bewilder me: their course Thou dost close up, Ambrosial Fount! Come, Light Suprene, that ever springing fill’st my soul! and give me grace to see Thee as Thou art. Essential Sweetness pure! O mighty Civa-Peruman, Who dwell’st in Perun-turrai’s […]
1) The Mistress dwells in midmost of Thyself; within the Mistress centred dwellest Thou; Midst of Thy servant if Ye Both do dwell, to me Thy servant ever give the grace Amidst Thy lowliest servants to abide; our Primal Lord, Whose Being knows no end, Who dwellest in the sacred golden porch, still present to […]
THE FREEDOM OF THE UPLIFTED SOUL. 1) Hail! Being, Source to me of all life’s joys! ‘Tis dawn; upon Thy flower-like feet twin wreaths of blooms we lay, And worship, ‘neath the beauteous smile of grace benign that from Thy sacred face beams on us. Civa-Lord, Who dwell’st in Perun-turrai girt with cool rice-fields, where […]
