Thanks for the reply. Since everybody says that "Thiruvasagathukku urugar oruvasagathukku urugar", I didn't want to miss out what people who had read it, enjoyed. I wanted understand the literary meaning of Thiruvasakam. I do understand it is very difficult to explain from the first line to the last. I was wondering if you can help me with explaing what certain words mean? I will go ahead and read up about it and make a list of words I don't understand and post it here, few words at a time. Thanks again and really appreciate your help.

Perhaps you should read the life story of Manickavasagar. YOu would then understand why he says 'certain' things in his songs!

Hi Idiappam,

I did read about his story from a web-site. It was just one page. Moreover, Manikavasagar talks lots of things other than his own story. I also was going through some of the nayanars' life story. Nirayasolirikirar, puriyathan mataen engirathu.
