" You're our pancha-bhooda's ever-dweller
You're indeed bound by the devotees' ardour,
Nature's intrinsic thread see I in Your bow,
With thought, word and deed to you I bow."

Tirumangai bemoans his previous lot in life and waits before
Srinivasa in appealing verses to take him to His bosom. One
of his pathetic verses which speak of the spiritual man in him
is furnished below.
