To Avoid Rebirth
Tamil Transliteration
Kodiye ilavanchik kombey enakku vammbe pazhutta
Padiye maraiyin parimalame panimal imayap
Pidiye piraman mudhalaya dhevaraip petra amme
Adiyen irandhu ingu inip piravamal vandhu aandukolle
Simple Meaning
Abhirami you are a creeper. You are the golden post that supports the creeper. You are the tender fruit, who volunteered to bless me though I do not deserve your grace. You are the origin of the Vedas spreading its fragrance. You are cow elephant originating in the icy Himalayas. You are the mother of devas including Brahma. You have to ensure that I do not take another birth when I leave this body at the end of my tenure in this world.
