Verse
70
இருக்கவேண்டும் என்றபோது இருத்தலாய் இருக்குமோ
மரிக்கவேண்டும் என்றலோ மண்ணுளே படைத்தனர்
சுருக்கமற்ற தம்பிரான் சொன்ன அஞ்செழுத்தையும்
மரிக்குமுன் வணங்கிடீர் மருந்தெனப் பதம்கெடீர்
Translation:
When needed to linger, will it be the act of
lingering?
Didn’t they create in this earth only to die?
The five letters uttered by the limitless Lord
You do not worship as panacea before death; you do
not lose the state (as Jiva)
Commentary:
Śiva and Śakti, the
inactive and active part of the Supreme, created this universe only to have it
destroyed in the end. Hence, everything in this world will come to an end, die
one day. Before that day comes, those
created so should utter the five letters, namacivaya as the panacea to
get relief from the disease of worldly life, the disease of being in the
limited state. Civavākkiyar complains
that no one is doing so in spite of the creators remaining in this world to
help them.
