Apirami Ammaip Patikam 1.6

1.6

From the many elephants down to the lowest ant, / for each varied life, for the toad trapped inside a rock, / for the life that takes form on that day in the womb, / for the abundant moving and unmoving beings, for the host of unblinking gods, / for the [celebrated] Trinity, and for everyone else, / without weariness arising in their minds, / though you possess the glorious task of providing [for all], / and though you have the boundless nine treasures, / if I alone am base in poverty, / is not that mockery directed at you? / O life of Ādi Kaṭavūr, where groves touch the dark clouds and measure the realm of gods! / Śukapāṇi, who never leaves one half of Amutīcar! / Gracious Vāmī! Apirāmi!
