THIRUKKOTTHUMBI - SONG 16

உள்ளப்படாத திரு உருவை உள்ளுதலும்
கள்ளப்படாத களிவந்த வான்கருணை 
வெள்ளப்பிரான் எம்பிரான் என்னை வேறே ஆட்
கொள்ளப் பிரானுக்கே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ 

In the song 16, Manickavasagar describes the lord as the most compassionate. He is like a cloud in the sky that showers huge rain on this earth. This is evident from his usage - வான் கருணை வெள்ளப் பிரான். This is identical to song 4, where the saint describes the lord as compassionate as the clouds showering rain.
The lord cannot be understood by any one. None can describe Him, His true form. Even the vedas which are considered to be the highest treasure house of knowledge, is unable to completely describe His attributes. They describe to a certain extent and then leave a clause that this is not the final one and there are things beyond this when it comes to the Lord's description.
So Manickavasagar says, if one tries to understand about the lord who is beyond understanding by the mind (கரணங்கள் எல்லாம் கடந்து நின்ற கறைமிடற்றன் - song 9). If one succeeds in understanding Him, crossing the barriers of their mind,intellect, then they will experience the unpolluted bliss (கள்ளப்படாத களி).
The saint says, the lord has gracefully given His Darshan to him when there were others. He asks the bee to go and buzz in front of that compassionate lord.
