thiru~nAvukkarasar



O Siva! You neither eat nor sleep. 
You know the Vedas without learning them.
When Ravana attempted to lift the Kailasa mountain without regard, You gently placed your toe and crushed him. You were pleased to hear Ravana play melodious music and praise you. You entered my heart a long time ago. You are the support/refuge for the entire world. O Lord of Kailasa mountain! I praise you again and again.
