Decad: 5 Sub-Decad: 4 Aaththuma Suddhi (Purification of the soul) Aaththuma = Soul; suddhi = purification. This sub-decad is made up of ten verses of four lines each in Viruththam metre. Oh my carcass of a heart! You do not sing His praise with melting thrill. You do not dance. You have no love for the feet of the Dancer! You do not throb. You do not bow down. You do not crown Your head with the flowery feet of the Lord; You do not deck His feet with flowers; You do not seek for Him through street after street, You do not wail; I do not know what is to be done with You. You are helpless! (5:31) Oh my carcass of a heart! Though You have received sweetest grace to prevent You parting from Him. my Father Who severs the bonds, Who, entering and enslaving me who have no wisdom, bestowed wisdom in His grace and Who caused me to know the higher path to Bliss, You are perverse! You have so debased me that all Wile in me has increased! You have so ruined me that I am spoiled! (5:32) 219
