		"I am a servitor of Chitthatthai-Sivan-Paale-Vaitthar"
	
							- The Tiru-th-Tonda-th-Tokai.	

1. 	Beyonding the beatitudes of the pentad of Gods
	Enthroned on their (respective) causal Lotuses,
	They have, by practice of thaaranai, their chitthas firmly
	Established in Naadaanta glowing in Sivan’s splendour
	Which is full and perfect, pure and true,
	And self existent and self-effulgent;
	Blessed with the traditional servitorship
	Unto the Lord-Author of the Vedas--the Dancer
	In the unique Ambalam--, they have reached Him.				(4157)

NOTES

Verse No.

	Chitta: In the context, the word means ‘soul’.  These have their souls 
	poised in Siva’s Grace.  These are Siva-yogis.  They are suddha-yogis. Verse 25 
	refers to suddha yogis.  Their puissance is infinite.  These are devotees who 
	stand liberated, while yet alive.  They know that souls are what they are attached 
	to.  The only attachment that saves souls is the attachment to God.  This must 
	be total and complete.
