Verse 54

நாணிலை நாடிட நாணுபொன்றிநீதாணுவா நின்றனை யருணாசலா

நாண் இலை நாடிட நாணு பொன்றி நீ தாணுவா நின்றனை அருணாசலா

In plain words

I have no shame left. I ask, and ask, and it does not embarrass me any more. But then neither do you have any. Yours died a long time ago. And what was left standing there was a post. Which is one of your names.

Word for word

I have no shame in seeking you. Your own shame having perished, you stood as a pillar. O Arunachala!
