கௌதமர் போற்றுங் கருணைமா மலையேகடைக் கணித்தாள்வா யருணாசலா
கௌதமர் போற்றும் கருணை மா மலையே கடைக்கணித்து ஆள்வாய் அருணாசலா
In plain words
Sages have praised you. I am not one of them and I am not claiming to be. I am asking for a look. Not a full look — the kind you give out of the corner of your eye, without turning your head. That is enough to own me.
Word for word
O great mountain of compassion praised by Gautama — cast one sidelong glance and take me as yours. O Arunachala!
