Verses 1-5

1.

You root out the ego

Of those who in their heart

Dwell on You, O

Arunachala!

 

May I and You be one

Not to be unjoined like

Azhahu and Sundaram.

Arunachala!

3.

Lo! Entering my home

You did drag me out and

In your heart-cave fettered me.

Arunachala!

4.

For whose sake did you take me?

Now if you forsake me

The world will blame you,

Arunachala!

5.

Do escape this blame!

Why then make me think of you?

Who can leave the other now.

Arunachala!
