Tamil Transliteration

Naghaiyae ihdhindha gnalamellaam pettra naayaghikku
Mughaiyae mughiz mulai maanae mudhu kann mudivill andha
Vaghaiyae piraviyumm vammbhae malaighal enbhadhu naam
Mighaiyae evall thann thaghaimaiyai naadi virumbhuvadae

Translation

The effulgent Mounts of Mother of all the worlds
Resemble the lotus buds, and Her matured eyes
Brimming with grace are the roller coaster oculus of the deer,
And She has no end and no beginning as well,
Deliberations all above misfit Abhirami as the daughter
Of the mountain king a mortal indeed, contradictions and exaggerations
Make me laugh; desirable to fend off all these illusions
And praise my Mother in Her true splendour!


Simple Meaning:

Various poets describe the mother of all the worlds as having bright breasts which resemble the lotus buds and the graceful matured eyes resembling the agitated eyes of deer; also they describe Her as having no end and no beginning.
If that is the case how can we call Abhirami as the daughter of the mountain king? All these all highly contradictory; when we think about all these we are made to laugh; so what is desirable is to ward off all these imaginations and get know the true mother and praise Her

Commentary

The readers who are acquainted with Abhirami Andhadhi would know that Abhirami Bhattar himself has described Abhirami in the various parameters as described above; now the same Bhattar says all are contradictory; one may wonder if Bhattar himself is self contradicting.
Ant at the feet of an elephant can never have the full vision of the elephant; it can have glimpses and describe the mammal in its own words.

Also we are all aware of the story of 4 visually challenged people trying to describe an elephant; one claimed elephant was like a rope when he felt its tail; the other said that it was like a pillar when he felt the legs; the third said it was like a solid wall when he passed his hands through the body and the fourth claimed that elepant is like a husking basket when after touching its ears.
All of them are right. The reason every one of them was telling it differently was because each one of them touched the different part of the elephant.

So, actually the elephant has all the features mentioned.

The above explanation is for the forms.

Coming to Abhirami being viewed as the daughter of a mortal and being mentioned as immortal and without any limitations.
For this I take the help of Sun, which is known to all; all of us know that there is sunrise and sunset at a place; but it reality Sun is always there in the sky shining and it never vanishes or dies down. It is only the geography that gives us the perception, which is deceptive.
In fact in the process of rise and set Sun makes schemes for us to work and rest in which it has no gains or losses

So if we look at the final recommendation of Bhattar he says that he would understand Her real nature and worship.
If you ask me Her real nature is that of a mother who is ready to serve Her children. That’s all
