“Namas shivaya vazhga, Nadhan thal vazhga immaippozhuduhum ennenjil ninggadhan thal vazhga”
Hear these lines from Maestro Illayaraja's Thiruvasagam & I am sure you'll be mesmerised beyond any words.
Although I did NOT actually understand the lines or lyrics, it set a fire inside me to understand the meaning.
From what I understand by going through various forums & articles, I guess my understanding is right:
Long live Lord’s name ‘namasivaya’!
Long live lord’s feet!
Long live the lord’s feet that do not leave my heart even for a moment!).
I'm a just a ordinary man
how can I reach for something holy? ...
So many forms I must wear!
So many lives I must bear!
Grass and shrub and stone and tree!
Worm and bird and beast and demon
heaven the sky and turn the earth
how long till I'm fin'ly worthy?...
Hail! Hail! ...
