To avoid dependence on others seeking material benefits
Tamil Transliteration
Aiyan alandha padiyiru naazhi kondu andam yellam
Uiya aramseyum unnaiyum poatri oruvar thampaal
Seiya pasunthamizh paamalaiyum kondu sendru poiyum
Meiyum iyamba vaiththaar idhuvoa undran meiyarulae
Translation
Wielding the two measures of paddy
Shared by My Lord, the Cosmic Father
Protected the universe by feeding in plenty
Exercising virtues all along this grace
Designed me to praise thee with the verses of chaste Tamil
Made me applaud the truth and falsehood
Of infidels in the same Tamil
Is this thy benediction mother Abhirami?
Simple Meaning
Abhirami, you fed the whole universe with the two small measures of paddy (rice) handed over by Lord Siva; you only made me praise you with Tamil songs; is it your mercy that you made me praise ordinary mortals also with truth and falsehood
Commentary
The supreme power of Abhirami is exhibited here; Abhirami could feed the whole universe with just two measures of rice; in Abhirami’s grace truth and falsehood cannot
co exist which is explained above; the argument by Abhirami Bhattar is that his declaration of “ Full Moon Day” to the king on a “ New Moon Day “ is to be addressed by Abhirami which is false and to be redressed by Her who has immense powers as explained above
