ஆயிரமாக் கதிர்கோடி யணைந்தூ டாடும்
அண்டாண்டக் கோடியெலாமுளைந்தூ டாடும்
பாயிரமா மணுக்களெலாம் பிறக்கும் சாகும்
பார்நீர்தீக் கால்வெளியாப் பரந்து நீடும்
மாயிரமா வின்வேகம் மின்வே கந்தான்
மதிவேகம் மனவேகம் கனவே கந்தான்
சேயிரமாப் பலவேகம் சீறிப் பொங்கும்
சித்தமெனும் சாகரத்தின் செறிவே கண்டீர்
Aayiramaak kathirkoadi yanaindhoo daadum
Andaandak koadiyelaamulainthoo daadum
Paayiramaa manukkalelaam pirakkum saakum
Paarneertheek kaalveliyaap paranthu needum
Maayiramaa vinveegam minvee kanthaan
Mathiveegam manaveegam kanavee kanthaan
Seyiramaap palaveegam seerip pongum
Siththamenum saagaraththin serivee kandeer
A thousand-fold, crores of rays gather together and dance within.
Crores upon crores of cosmic-egg worlds all enter within and dance.
Countless atoms/particles are born and die.
They spread and extend as earth, water, fire, air, and space.
In ten-thousandfold ways: the speed of action (karma), the speed of lightning.
The speed of the moon, the speed of the mind, the speed of dreams.
Many more speeds, raging and surging—
Behold the compacted density (or concentrated essence) of the ocean called citta (mind/consciousness).
Within the citta—an oceanic field of consciousness—innumerable lights, worlds, and elemental formations arise as movements. There, even atomic births and deaths occur; the five elements fan out; and velocities ranging from karmic momentum to lightning-like flashes, from lunar/intellective motion to mind and dream, churn and surge. This verse points to the immense, concentrated fullness of citta, in which the cosmos appears as an inner play.
The verse compresses a Siddhar microcosm–macrocosm vision: what is usually taken as an “outer” universe (rays, worlds, elements, creation and dissolution) is said to be seen “within” (உள்), i.e., within citta. “Citta as ocean” evokes the classical idea of consciousness as a vast reservoir of impressions (vāsanā/saṁskāra) whose waves are thoughts, perceptions, and worlds. The repeated emphasis on வேகம் (velocity) shifts the focus from static substance to dynamic vibration—phenomena are recognized as rates of movement (pranic, mental, karmic, and subtle energetic).
Pancha-bhuta language (earth–water–fire–air–space) indicates that all tangible and subtle experience is a spread or unfolding of elemental modes, not separate realities. “Atoms are born and die” can be read both cosmologically (ceaseless arising/ceasing at the smallest scale) and yogically (minute thought-particles forming and dissolving in awareness). The lightning-speed image suggests sudden inner flashes—either pranic surges, kundalini-like intensifications, or instantaneous cognition—while “moon-speed” can signify both the lunar orb’s motion and the mind/intellect’s reflective, waxing–waning nature. The closing command “Behold” frames the teaching as experiential: by entering and stabilizing awareness, one discerns the ‘density/condensation’ (செறிவு) of citta—its packed potency from which innumerable forms and tempos emerge.
