Thiruvalluvar's Couplets On 'In Praise Of God' Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

1. The alphabets start with the letter ‘A’.
So does the Universe originate from The Almighty.

2. It’s no use of the learnt lore;
if the fair feet of Him worshipped not.

3. Thrive long in this world, those who grabbed
His famed feet on flowers.

4. Woes no more to those who are at the feet of God
sans likes and dislikes.

5. Deeds of ignorance, ill or well hurt not them
who delight in the praise of feet of God.

6. Excel in His codes, checked for lust at the sense-gates
and live a lasting life.

7. It’s hard to relieve from the angst
unless you gained the feet of The Peerless Lord.

8. Unless they gain His feet, ‘The Sea of Virtue’,
they can’t swim through the sea of Vice.

9. Heads which bow not at the feet of God with eight traits
liken unreceptive sense organs.

10.Swim the Sea of Births if they cling to His feet.
If not, they can’t.
