6. Neeththal vinnappam Oh King of Uththarakosamangai ! Oh You Who frightched Her Who is like the creeper of vanchi (Salix tetraspenia) by skinning the hill of a cruel elephant! Oh virile Onc! Behold that You do not forsake me! May the fire of Your eternal grace burn up the forest of my potent karma and wipc out! Do destroy the root of my birth and make me Your own! (6:19) Like a climbing piant with no supporting bough, I am wearied. Oh mellowy one Behold that You do not forsake me who wither here. Oh You Who are far away beyond the reach of the heavenly ones! Oh King of eternal Uthitharakosamangai! Oh Ether! Oh Who are Fire, Wind and Water (6:20) Oh luminous One Who in my karma-ridden mind, rescinbling honey and milk, candy and Ambrosia keeps incling my flesh and bones! Behold that You do not forsake me who like small herbs where fierce elephants fight, am harassed by my senses. Oh my Father! (6:21)
