Songs of Saint Tayumanavar

Songs of Tayumanavar

Pervasive Cosmic Form (4/33)
Secret of the Intelligence of the Infinite Space

Thou flourisheth
With neither beginning nor end,
With neither source nor termination,
The holy scriptures wailing,
Unable to find Thee yet!
The diverse faiths wandering still
In search of Thee
And the polemists of mountainous proportions
Turning into monsters of contention.
Yet, Thou revealed Thyself to us
Under the shade of the North banyan tree
With Thy chinmudra gesture of jnana
In silentness enduring.

Thou the Compassionate One
That bears the crescent on Thine head!
Thou the Purity of Life Eternal!
