POeTT1: 4 Portti-th-thiru-ahaval Sub-title: Cagaththin urppaththi (Creation of the world) Abstract: It is worthy to note that the word “Pottri’(Obeisance to You) is used 160 times in this poem of 225 lines.

Out of all the four poems of the first part (which we have divided) of Thiruvaachakam the last three have been sung at Thiliai. The following lines of this poem are generally repeated in chorus in all the congregations of worship of Civan: “Cbeisance to You ! Oh Civan of the southern country Obeisance to You ! Oh God to all of every country " (164-165) These salutations and invocation exhibit the largeheartedness of the saint and His universality in ownership of God. As the sub-title of this poem points out the origin of the world, is perhaps indicated in the lines 137 to 141 where-in the saint narrates how God is present in all the great five elements, starting from the earth. “He pervades the earth as five” evidently as five elements. “He appears in water as four” elements. “He shines in fire as three” elements. “He delights in wind as two” elements and “He happens in space as One” element.
