Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 35

சையெனத்தள்ளிற் செய்வினைசுடுமலாலுய்வகையேதுரை யருணாசலா

சையென தள்ளில் செய்வினை சுடும் அலால் உய்வகை ஏது உரை அருணாசலா

In plain words

If you turn from me with that little noise people make at something worthless — then the things I have done will burn me, and there is nothing else in the way. So tell me. Is there another road? I am asking because I cannot find one.

Word for word

If you push me away with a 'che!', my accumulated deeds will burn me. Apart from you, what way of deliverance is there? Tell me. O Arunachala!
