Apirami Ammaip Patikam 2.6

2.6

As countless miseries mount higher and higher to torment me, alas! / How can my heart endure and survive? In this birth I have now taken, / not even an amount of pleasure equal to a sesame seed have I enjoyed / on any single day; the whole country knows this, why ask about it? / Your heart too knows it well; / though I am a wretch who performed no merit in a past birth, / cast your full gracious glance upon me / and remove my vileness, bestowing your grace! / Daily praised by mortals on earth and by celestials, / living in Tirukkaṭavūr where renown grows, O Vāmī! Śubanemi! Pugazhnāmi! / Vāmī in whom Śivasāmi delights! O Apirāmi, Umai!
