Thir Arunai Thani Venba: continues.....
1. O Arunachala! Is it not adequate that we get less handpound
rice, (due to famine). Are we to get even less than fifty betel
leaves, for half a paisa?
2. O Arunachala! There are towns where there are sinners;
where there are fellows who do not pay heed to good words.
where there are good young men, who cry on ill treatment
meted out to them. But these towns will die away. Annamalai
will ever live in all its glory without annihilation.
( I am not very sure about this translation, since there are
some difficult words. I shall check up with others and if there
are corrections, I shall let the readers know.)
3. O Arunachala! I need a thousand eyes, to place garlands
to you, to write poems on you everyday. To chant these
poems everyday in your temple. And to see your great form,
daily, give these thousand eyes to this lowly dog.
4. O Arunachala, my five senses are always crying, give me,
give me. I am not able to control them with my mind. Unless
I destroy my mind, my senses will not die. Please favour me.

Arunachala Siva.
