• 11 Aksharamanamalai (The Marital Garland of Letters to Arunachala)

This joyful Marital Garland of Letters which resembles a beam of the rays of the rising sun was sung by the noble Sage Ramana, the ocean of compassion, with the object of removing the delusion of the devotees who sought his grace. Those who look upon it as their sole refuge will realize within themselves that they are Arunachala and will reign in the world of Siva.1

Invocation

Gracious Ganapati 2 with Thy (loving) hand bless me, that
I may make this a marital garland of letters worthy of
Sri Arunachala, the bridegroom!

2 Another name for Sri Ganesa.

Refrain

Arunachala Siva! Arunachala Siva!

Arunachala Siva! Arunachala!

Arunachala Siva! Arunachala Siva!

Arunachala Siva! Arunachala!

1. (a) Thou dost root out the ego of those who meditate
on Thee in the Heart, Oh Arunachala!

(b) Arunachala! Thou dost root out the ego of those who
dwell on their (spiritual) identity with Thee, Oh Arunachala!

2. May Thou and I be one and inseparable like Alagu
and Sundara 3, Oh Arunachala!

3 The Tamil word alagu and Sanskrit word sundara have one and the same meaning: `beauty.' Alagu and Sundara were also the names of Sri Ramana's mother and father.

3. Entering (my) home and luring me (to Thine) why
didst Thou keep me prisoner in Thy Heart's cavern, Oh
Arunachala?

4. Was it for Thy pleasure or for my sake Thou didst
win me? If now Thou turn me away, the world will blame
Thee, Oh Arunachala!

5. Escape this blame! Why didst Thou then recall
Thyself to me? How can I leave Thee now, Oh Arunachala?

6. (a) Kinder far art Thou than one's own mother. Is
this then Thy all-kindness, Oh Arunachala?

(b) Kinder indeed art Thou than one's mother, such is Thy
Love, Oh Arunachala!

7. (a) Sit firmly in my mind lest it elude Thee, Oh
Arunachala!

(b) Change not Thy nature and flee, but hold fast in my
mind, Oh Arunachala!

(c) Be watchful in my mind, lest it change even Thee (into
me) and rush away, Oh Arunachala!

8. (a) Display Thy beauty, for the fickle mind to see
Thee forever and to rest (in peace), Oh Arunachala!

(b) The strumpet mind will cease to walk the streets if
only she find Thee. Disclose Thy beauty then and hold her bound, Oh Arunachala!

(c) The mind by her unsteadiness prevents my seeking Thee and finding peace; (hold her and) grant me the vision of Thy beauty, Oh Arunachala!

9. After abducting me if now Thou dost not embrace
me, where is Thy chivalry, Oh Arunachala?

10. Does it become Thee thus to sleep when I am
outraged by others, Oh Arunachala?

11. Even when the thieves of the five senses break in
upon me, art Thou not still in my Heart, Oh Arunachala?

12. One art Thou without a second; who then could dare
elude Thee and come in? This is only Thy jugglery, Oh
Arunachala!

13. Significance of Om, unrivalled -- unsurpassed! Who
can comprehend Thee, Oh Arunachala?

14. As (Universal Mother) it is Thy duty to dispense Thy
grace and save me, Oh Arunachala!

15. (a) Who can ever find Thee? The Eye of the eye art
Thou, and without eyes Thou seest, Oh Arunachala!

(b) Being the sight of the eye, even without eyes find me
out Thyself. Who (but Thyself) can find out Thee, Oh
Arunachala?

16. As a lodestone attracts iron, magnetising it and
holding it fast, so do Thou to me, Oh Arunachala!

17. (Unmoving) Hill, melting into a Sea of Grace, have
mercy (on me) I pray, Oh Arunachala!

18. Fiery Gem, shining in all directions, do Thou burn
up my dross, Oh Arunachala!

19. Shine as my Guru, making me free from faults and
worthy of Thy Grace, Oh Arunachala!

20. Save me from the cruel snares of fascinating women
