சிதம்பரம் போகாமல் இருப்பேனோ—நான்
ஜென்மத்தை வீணாக்கிக் கெடுப்பேனோ

பக்தியும் மனமும் பொருந்தினதங்கே
சத்தியம் சொன்னேன் சடலமும் இங்கே

ஆசையும் நேசமும் ஆனந்தம் அங்கே
பேசலும் பாசமும் பிதற்றலும் இங்கே

Chidambaram pOgAmal iruppEnO—nAn
Jenmattai vINAkkik keDuppEnO

Bhaktiyum manamum porundinadangE
sattiyam sonnEn saDalamum ingE

Asaiyum nEsamum Anandam angE
Pesalum pAsamum pidaTRalum ingE

Meaning:
Pallavi: Would I not visit Chidambaram soon? Would I waste the very purpose of my birth?

My mind and devotion are fixated there (in Chidambaram). I speak the truth, “only my lifeless body exists here”.

My desire, love, and happiness reside there (in Chidambaram). What happens here (in the village ) is just empty talk and attachment to everyday events.
