Kummi Song
Roundelay
Refrain:
Girls, the feet of Lord Ramana sing!
Seek, revel and dance in joy!
Join ye all and dance in joy!
1. Leaving Kailasa, his abode, in compassion he came down to Tiruchuli; not content to remain even there, eagerly he came to Arunagiri.
(Refrain)
2. To the loving devotees who eagerly go to him in Virupaksha cave, he with his look of grace, appears sweet as sugarcane and makes them rejoice.
(Refrain)
3. By the grace of God manifesting as light in Sonagiri, he cut off the impurities of individuality, illusion and action, and revels in the bliss of the Self.
(Refrain)
4. Shining forth as the all-filling transcendence as well as immanence, with no abode of his own, having realised the state beyond night and day, he revels in it, all by himself.
(Refrain)
5. He is in the five elements; he cut off the five sheaths; he swallowed up the five primordial principles; he mastered the five senses.
(Refrain)
6. He grew unmindful of the three bodies, surpassed the three states, went beyond the three qualities and transcended the three attainments.
(Refrain)
7. Girls, finding nothing more to do, he stays as the sole Being, that is, Siva with the lustrous crescent; and he pervades all beings as their self, himself remaining as the Supreme Self.
(Refrain)
8. Holding the individual self and the Supreme Self together and uniting them, he lost his individuality. He remains as the Supreme Being, the ripe fruit.
(Refrain)
9. By his [gracious] look he gave me a slap on the cheek, as it were and [seemed to] say, ‘Oh, pious Venkataramana, what is the use of prolonging wasteful speech? See for yourself’ ( i.e. experience Realisation!)
(Refrain)
10. Certainly Ramana is my kind master, guide and lord. Wise girls, let us surrender to him, fall at his feet and dance in rapture. Girls, the feet of Lord Ramana sing! Seek revel and dance in joy! Join ye all and dance in joy!
(Refrain)
