Part 1 The story of Siva (Sivapuranam) திருவாசகம் சிவபுராணம்

Blessed be my Lord! Blessed be your feet! Your feet never go away from my sight even when I blink! Your feet show me the way even in my darkness! Your feet show me the scriptures revealed in my raptures! You are the dual, the non-dual, and the in-between worlds! 1

Slow down my mind and make me kind, Bring success to your feet!Destroy the seeds of my Karma, Bring glory to your feet!Let your feet protect every being, Bring peace to your feet!Not just those who fall at your feet, Bring beauty to your feet!But even those who ignore you or hate, Bring love to your feet! 2

Praise thy feet, Oh my Dad, Glory to thy feet!Praise thy feet, Oh my world, Surrender to thy feet!Love is thy form, Praises to thy feet!Shattering my illusions, Thy feet bring me light!My safest shore is thy feet!My fountain of joy falls from thy peak! 3

You have raised my mind to my divine self

With your grace, I seek your grace

I receive joy in spreading your grace

To destroy all the Karma of my past

Your grace flows through your eyes

I praise thy feet that are far beyond my grasping 4

You are the light that fills the space and the earthYou are infinite to count and perceiveI am the sinner, who doesn't know how to express your glory 5

I became the grass, then the shrub, worm and the tree,The plants, the birds and the snake,The stone, the man, demons and the spirits,Aliens, the yogi and the angels,In this never ending, ever flowing river of life,I have taken all the births and got tired!Only your feet have liberated me from this matrix! 6

You are the truth, the Anti-virus and the eternal answerAll the bibles of the world praise only you!You have become Ohm to liberate us all! 7

You are the creator and the destroyer of illusionsAll the lies from me have gone away in your graceYou are the true knowledge and the light in meThe bliss I cannot find anywhere else is youYour light shatters the darkness in me 8

You have no beginning, no end and no dimension You create, protect and destroy all the worldsBring me under your protection and graceYou are the divine smelling nectar from heavenYou have changed my mind upside downLike the milk having the unseen butter in it,You are present in the mind of your followersPlease destroy the seeds of my karma 9

You are made of five colors Angels praise you, the invisible one Occult darkness has covered me, the sinnerYou have removed it by your justice and graceI am a sinner covered with skinI am a residence with nine doors And my five senses are deceiving meMy animal mind can show you crude love onlyBut that has melted your kind heartAnd you have bestowed many blessings to this unfit meLike rain upon a parched landYour feet have shown grace for this street dogAnd hence you are holier than my mother 10

You are the light without any blemish, a full blown flower!The ambrosia from the nectar, Oh my Lord!Please remove my attachments to this illusory world!Your grace removes the darkness in my heart!Your great compassion never leaves me alone!You are beyond dimensions and my grasping!Your light fills your devote followers!Melting like dew drops, you drip into my heart!You have neither joys nor worries! You are nothing and everything!Oh light in the dark! You have no beginning nor endingBut beginning, middle and end of this world!You attracted me towards you like a magnet!You can be seen only through true wisdom!You are the rarest view, divine, subtle sense!You never go, come or settle down!You protect me, the rarest light!You are the flood of joy!You are the untold mystery, the primordial light!You are the idea that changes the world!You are the clarity of the wise!The divine nectar that never stops flowing! 11

கவற்று விகார விடக்கு உடம்பின் உள் கிடப்ப ஆற்கைன்; "எம் ஐயா," "அரகன! ஓ!" என்று என்று கபாற்ைி, புகழ்ந்திருந்து, பபாய் பகட்டு, பமய் ஆனார் மீட்டு இங்கு வந்து, விமனப் பிைவி சாராகம, கள்ளப் புலக் குரம்மப கட்டழிக்க வல்லாகன! நள் இருளில் நட்டம் பயின்று ஆடும் நாதகன! தில்மலயுள் கூத்தகன! பதன்பாண்டி நாட்டாகன! அல்லல் பிைவி அறுப்பாகன! ஓ!' என்று, பசால்லற்கு அரியாமனச் பசால்லி, திருவடிக் கீழ்ச் பசால்லிய பாட்டின் பபாருள் உணர்ந்து பசால்லுவார் பசல்வர் சிவபுரத்தின் உள்ளார் சிவன் அடிக் கீழ், பல்கலாரும் ஏத்தப் பணிந்து. 12
