The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 70

பெயர்நினைத்திடவே பிடித்திழுத்தனையுன்பெருமையா ரறிவா ரருணாசலா

பெயர் நினைத்திடவே பிடித்து இழுத்தனை உன் பெருமை யார் அறிவார் அருணாசலா

In plain words

I thought your name. That is all I did — one thought, not even a good one. And you had me before I finished thinking it. Who could measure a thing like that? Not me. I was busy being carried.

Word for word

The very moment I thought of your name, you seized and dragged me. Who can know your greatness? O Arunachala!
