The garland laid on the liṅga in the sanctum, lamps lit behind it. A maṇamālai is a marriage-garland; this work is one strung of letters, and it is laid where the refrain lays it.
The garland laid on the liṅga in the sanctum, lamps lit behind it. A maṇamālai is a marriage-garland; this work is one strung of letters, and it is laid where the refrain lays it.Arunachala Śiva, Arunachala Śiva, Arunachala Śiva, O Arunachala! — Akṣaramaṇamālai, refrain

In plain words

Arunachala Śiva. Arunachala Śiva. Arunachala Śiva. Arunachala. That is all it is. A name, said again, and then said once more as though to someone standing there.

Word for word

Arunachala Śiva, Arunachala Śiva, Arunachala Śiva, O Arunachala!
