English translation: Oneself, the heart, the centre, which surges when intellect and ego suffer anguish, is the actual reality of Aṇṇāmalai, which shone between them, Brahmā and Viṣṇu, when pride was deflated, not knowing as desired. Explanatory paraphrase: The actual reality [truth, tattva, import or signification] of Aṇṇāmalai [Aruṇācala], which shone [forth as a column of light] between them, Brahmā and Viṣṇu, when [their] pride was deflated [or for (their) pride to be deflated or destroyed] [because of their] not knowing [or perceiving its top or bottom] as [they] desired, is oneself, the heart, the centre, which surges [ascends, rises high or is exalted] when intellect and ego suffer anguish [despairing because of their not being able to know their real nature, and thereby becoming humble and willing to subside and surrender]. இத்தனுவே நானா மெனுமதியை நீத்தப் புத்தியித யத்தே பொருந்தியக நோக்கா லத்துவித மாமெய் யகச்சுடர்காண் கைபூ மத்தியெனு மண்ணா மலைச்சுடர்காண் மெய்யே. ittaṉuvē nāṉā meṉumatiyai nīttap buddhiyida yattē porundiyaha nōkkā ladduvita māmey ahaccuḍarkāṇ gaibhū maddhiyeṉu maṇṇā malaiccuḍarkāṇ meyyē. பதச்சேதம்: ‘இத் தனுவே நான் ஆம்’ எனும் மதியை நீத்து, அப் புத்தி இதயத்தே பொருந்தி அகநோக்கால், அத்துவிதம் ஆம் மெய் அகச்சுடர் காண்கை பூ மத்தி எனும் அண்ணாமலை சுடர் காண் மெய்யே.

English translation: Giving up the mind called ‘this body alone is I’, that mind subsiding in the heart by self-attentiveness, seeing the light of ‘I’, the non-dual reality, is the actual reality of seeing the light of Aṇṇāmalai, which is called the centre of the world. Explanatory paraphrase: The actual reality [truth, tattva, import or signification] of seeing the light [on] Aṇṇāmalai, which is called the centre of the world, is seeing the light of ‘I’ [or heart-light], the non-dual reality, having given up the mati [mind, which is always aware of itself as] ‘this body alone is I’, [and] that buddhi [mind or dēhātma-buddhi, the false awareness that a body is oneself] having subsided [and merged] in the heart by aha-nōkku [inward look, looking inside, looking at ‘I’ or self-attentiveness].

Padacchēdam (word-separation): aduvē mukkhiya idayam. adaṉgaṇ i-vv-akhilamumē amarndu irukkum. adu āḍi e-p-poruṭkum. ellā selvaṅgaṭkum aduvē illam. adaṉālē, aṉaittu uyirkkum aṟivu aduvē idayam eṉa aṟaiyal āhum. sidaiyāniṯkum kal pōl jaḍa uḍaliṉ avayavattu ōr siṟu kūṟu aṉḏṟu; āl. English translation: That alone is the principal heart. In it this entire universe is residing. It is the mirror for all things whatsoever. It alone is the home for all riches. Therefore it, the awareness for all sentient beings, is what is declared as the heart. It is not a small portion in part of the perishable, stone-like insentient body. Explanatory paraphrase: That alone is the principal [first, foremost, primary and preeminent] heart. In it this entire universe is residing. It is the mirror for all things whatsoever [the mirror in which each and every thing appears]. It alone is the home for all [spiritual] riches [everything of real value]. Therefore it, [which is] the awareness [the original and fundamental awareness, ‘I am’] for all sentient beings, is what is declared as the [real] heart. It is not a small portion in part of the perishable, stone-like insentient body [the body, which is perishable (or mortal) and insentient like a stone]. Verse 24: ஆதலினா லறிவுமய மாஞ்சுத்த விதயத்தே யகத்தைச் சேர்க்குஞ் சாதனையால் வாதனைக ளொடுவாயு வொடுக்கமுமே சாருந் தானே. ādaliṉā laṟivumaya māñśuddha vidayattē yahattaic cērkkuñ sādhaṉaiyāl vādaṉaiga ḷoḍuvāyu voḍukkamumē sārun tāṉē. பதச்சேதம்: ஆதலினால், அறிவுமயம் ஆம் சுத்த இதயத்தே அகத்தை சேர்க்கும் சாதனையால், வாதனைகளோடு வாயு ஒடுக்கமுமே சாரும் தானே. Padacchēdam (word-separation): ādaliṉāl, aṟivumayam ām śuddha idayattē ahattai sērkkum sādhaṉaiyāl, vādaṉaigaḷoḍu vāyu oḍukkamumē sārum tāṉē. English translation: Therefore by the means of fixing the mind in the pure heart, which is composed of awareness, complete dissolution of breath along with inclinations will be achieved automatically. Explanatory paraphrase: Therefore by the sādhana [means or steady and persistent practice] of fixing the mind [attention] in the pure heart, which is composed of awareness [the clear, infinite and eternal awareness ‘I am’], complete [and hence permanent] dissolution [or cessation] of vāyu [breath, prāṇa or life] along with vāsanās [inclinations, namely viṣaya-vāsanās, inclinations to seek happiness in anything other than oneself] will be achieved automatically [or spontaneously].
