நோயுற்று மூத்து நான் நுந்து கன்றாய் இங்கிருந்து
நாயுற்ற செல்வம் நயந்தறியா வண்ணம் எல்லாம்
தாயுற்று வந்து என்னை ஆண்டுக்கொண்ட தன் கருணைத்
தேயுற்ற செல்வற்கே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ
நாயுற்ற செல்வம் நயந்தறியா வண்ணம் எல்லாம்
தாயுற்று வந்து என்னை ஆண்டுக்கொண்ட தன் கருணைத்
தேயுற்ற செல்வற்கே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ
In this song, Manickavasagar asks the bee to go and buzz in front of the lord whose grace knew no bounds. The lord is ocean of compassion as we saw in the previous song. He has abundant grace, which he showers on His devotees.
Manickavasagar refers to him as a dog which does not know the worth of the wealth it has. The lord gave the Darshan of his feet, which the saint considers as the wealth. But immediately, in few minutes the lord disappeared. Everything was gone. This is one of the lord's play that was not known to Manickavasagar at that time. If the lord had taken Manickavasagar with him at that very moment, we would not have got the gem - Thiruvaasagam.
With all humility, sri Manickavasagar refers himself as a dog. நாயுற்ற செல்வம் நயந்தறியா வண்ணம் - he sings.
Also, he laments about his misfortune of staying in this world even after seeing the lord. If one is born, then he has to undergo all the stages of life. The worst part is falling sick, becoming old and undergoing the senility. The saint describes his stage as the unlucky calf that got separated from its mother. A calf or cow doesn't voluntarily get separated from each other. Neither the calf disowns its mother nor do the cow disowns the calf for some reason like it is disabled or so. Only external factors like we humans will separate them. On getting separated, they miss each other and will feel a lot. But it is not understood by any one. Likewise, Manickavasagar describes his separation from the lord. He says himself as நுந்து கன்று.
To sum up this song, Manickavasagar says he was like an unlucky calf that got separated from the cow (mother). He stayed in the world like a dog ignorant of the wealth it pocessed. But the lord with the compassion of a mother, came and brought him to His folds. Oh bee! Please go and buzz in front of the lord who has grace in abundance.
