THIRUKKOTTHUMBI - SONG 7

சட்டோ நினைக்க மனத்து அமுதாம் சங்கரனைக்
கெட்டேன், மறப்பேனோ கேடுபடாத் திருவடியை
ஒட்டாத பாவித் தொழும்பரை  நாம் உருவறியோம்
சிட்டாய சிட்டற்கே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ

So far in the previous songs, Manickavasagar describes the lord as follows.

1. The one with the lotus feet that was not seen or known by the devas, Brahmma, Vishnu, saraswathi and indra.
2. The one who is an embodiment of ever flowing honey.
3. The one who blesses the devotee with endless bliss.
4. The one who showers blessings on the devotees as a nimbus cloud pouring rain on the earth and who wears the holy white ash on his body.
5. The one who gives salvation to the devotee.
6. The one who clarifies the confusion arising in the mind of the devotee regarding the world and its entities.

Now in this song 7, Manickavasagar describes the lord as the pure knowledge behind the knowledgeable thing (சிட்டாய சிட்டற்கு :- சிட் = சித்)

The lord gave knowledge to Manickavasagar at Tirupperunthurai. But after that, the lord didn't take Manickavasagar immediately to His abode. Instead asked him to go to the pandya king and tell about the arrival of the horses on aavani moolam day. So Manickavasagar laments here for not becoming one with the lord at that very moment of getting deekshai.

He says, he thought of shankaran - who is so sweet to think about (மனத்து அமுதாம்). But he lost the touch with the lord (சங்கரனைக் கெட்டேன்) because of his karma. He became a sinner for not becoming one with Shiva's untanned feet (கேடுபடாத் திருவடியை ஒட்டாத பாவி) or His disciples (தொழும்பரை நாம் உரு அறியோம்). The saint asks the bee to go and buzz in front of the omniscient - chith swaroopam.
