5:3 Suttaruththal I do realise that You are the Lord indeed of the four Vedaas and I see this too that I, the lowliest of all, am a very cur; Yet I say, “Oh Naathan!” and since I have become a devotee to You, You made me Your own. Are there no devotees other than this vile wretch? Is this not verily Your greatness? Oh mighty Lord, in what words shall I speak of Your greatness?' (5:23) Oh You assumed Lordship over those Who if they speak at all, spoke “Easan! Oh my Father! Oh great Lord of my forefathers!”Who if they smear anything at all on their bodies. smeared only the sacred ash in abundance, and Who praying “Obeisance to You our Lord! “ had passed beyond birth and death through unswerving love! Alas for the manner in which You enslaved this vile thief Who plunged in the flood of lust, Oh spotless Hill of Gems! Oh my Father! (5:24) Oh my Father Whom the assembly of heavenly ones saying, “His colour is not red nor pale; He is Many-nay He is One: He is Atom, nay. He is far subtler than the atom”and thus bewildering in their thoughts could not find the way to reach! Showing me Your colour as it is, showing me Your form as it is, showing me Your flowery jewelled feet as they are and positively safe-guarding the lost soul from being born again, You made me Your own! Oh my Lord! What shall I say and think of You? (5:25) 21
