Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 34

சேராயெனின் மெய் நீராயுருகிக்கண்ணீராற்றழிவே னருணாசலா

சேராய் எனின் மெய் நீராய் உருகி கண் நீரால் தழிவேன் அருணாசலா

In plain words

If you will not come, then this is what happens. I go to water. Not a figure of speech — the whole of me, running. And then the tears finish what is left. Water either way.

Word for word

If you will not join me, my body will melt into water and I shall be destroyed by the water of my eyes. O Arunachala!
