Decad:5 Sub-Decad:3 Suttaruththal (Abandoning the sense of discrimination) This sub-decad is made up of ten verses of four long lines each in Viruththam metre, Leaving those, Who on hearing the words of praise, “Oh You with expanding matted locks pouring the flood of Ganga! Oh You on the bull! Oh Lord of the heavenly ones!” stood by panting and melting with thirsting heart agitated like water rushing up and down into a gorge, You made me Your own. For You I, becoming all heart from sole to scalp, do not melt and with my whole body turned into eyes, a very flood of tears does not rush forth. Oh my Father, my heart is a stone and both the eyes of me of sinful deeds are wood-knots. (5:21) For the sake of You Who entering and dwelling in me bound by Karma and as if You would say, “Come, I am the Destroyer of Karma” announced Yourself as “I am so and so.” and enslaved me and became my Lord. I am like a statue of iron. I do not sing nor dance and alas, I do not weep nor wail; I do not wither nor does my soul faint. Behold Oh Primal One! What have I become? Is it just? I do not know the end of all this. Oh You Who are the Beginning and the End of all things! (5:22) 1 &
