Songs of Tayumanavar

Pervasive Cosmic Form (17/33)
Secret of the Intelligence of the Infinite Space

All that are rare to see
Will of themselves occur en mass.

And to show that all these
Are but transient and illusory
Like the camphor mountain in blaze -
He comes.

Eating and sleeping,
Experiencing sorrows and joys
And possess of habitation and the rest,
As unto me He takes the form.

And as with deer the deer is trapped
He comes as the compassionate Mauna Guru
To cleanse me of my impurities.
