Verse 2795: He is Tattvas and Their Goal
Tamil text and transliteration:
நாதத் துவம்கடந்து ஆதி மறைநம்பி,
பூதத் துவத்தே பொலிந்தின்பம் எய்தினர்,
நேதத் துவமும் அவற்றோடு நேதியும்,
பேதப் படாவண்ணம் பின்னிநின் றானே.
nātat tuvamkaṭantu āti maṟainampi,
pūtat tuvattē polintiṉpam eytiṉar,
nētat tuvamum avaṟṟōṭu nētiyum,
pētap paṭāvaṇṇam piṉṉiniṉ ṟāṉē.
English translation of verse 2795:
The Lord is the beginning of Vedas
He is beyond Nada Tattvas;
(Knowing this not,)
They sought the pleasures of this world
And in them revelled;
He is the Tattvas in order placed
And their Lord too at once;
In that in separateness
He commingling stood.
