ஞானமில்லாதுன் னிசையாற் றளர்வறஞானந்தெரித்தரு ளருணாசலா
ஞானம் இல்லாது உன் இசையால் தளர்வு அற ஞானம் தெரித்து அருள் அருணாசலா
In plain words
I do not know anything. That is not modesty, it is the position. And I have no strength left to go after it. So if it is to happen it will be because you wanted it. Make it plain to me.
Word for word
I have no knowledge. By your will, so that my faltering may cease, make knowledge clear to me and grant grace. O Arunachala!
