திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் 

சகமலா தடிமை யில்லை தானலாற் றுணையு மில்லை
நகமெலாந் தேயக் கையான் நாண்மலர் தொழுது தூவி
முகமெலாங் கண்ணீர் மல்க முன்பணிந் தேத்துந் தொண்டர்
அகமலாற் கோயி லில்லை ஐயனை யாற னார்க்கே. 			4.40.8

Meaning:
Other than the whole world(s) no other slaves;
Other than Self there is no companion;
With the nails worn out showering flowers in
worship, with the whole face brimming with 
tears the servants who salute and hail,
other than their hearts there is no abode,
for our Lord aiyARaNAr !

Notes:
1. Lord shiva being the Master of the worlds
is hailed as vishveshvara. He has no master
above Himself, and He is the Master of everything
so hailed as sarveshvara and parameshvara.
2. As the only Eternal, He cannot have a companion
who is different from His Self for ever. (and He
is the only company for us !)
3. The third description portrays the picture
of the ardent devotees which brings to 
imagination none other than appar himself.
The selfless devotees unable to even care about
their nails being worn out absorbed themselves
completely into the service of God, with the
brimming emotional tears adorning their faces,
(c.f. n^IrorukAl OvA n^edun^thArai kaN
panippa - thiruvampAvai )
what else could be the better abode for our 
Lord other than the warm cozy heart of such
devotees !
