Verse 2659: At the Thought of Guru's Form Impurities Vanish
Tamil text and transliteration:
கருடன் உருவம் கருதும் அளவில்,
பருவிடம் தீர்ந்து பயம்கெடு மாபோல்,
குருவின் உருவம் குறித்த அப் போதே,
திரிமலம் தீர்ந்து சிவன்அவன் ஆமே.

paruviṭam tīrntu payamkeṭu māpōl,
kuruviṉ uruvam kuṟitta ap pōtē,
tirimalam tīrntu civaṉavaṉ āmē.
English translation of verse 2659:
At the thought of Garuda's form
The serpent's poison leaves
Its terrors lose;
Unto it,
At the thought of Guru's form
The triple Malas leave instant;
The Jiva then Siva becomes.
