கெஞ்சியும் வஞ்சியாய்க் கொஞ்சமு மிரங்கிலை
யஞ்சலென் றேயரு ளருணாசலா
keñjiyum vañjiyāyk koñjamu miraṅgilai
yañjaleṉ ḏṟēyaru ḷaruṇācalā
பதச்சேதம்: கெஞ்சியும் வஞ்சியாய் கொஞ்சமும் இரங்கிலை. ‘அஞ்சு அல்’ என்றே அருள் அருணாசலா.
Padacchēdam (word-separation): keñjiyum vañjiyāy koñjamum iraṅgilai. ‘añju al’ eṉḏṟē aruḷ aruṇācalā.
English translation: Arunachala, though begging, being a cheat not feeling even the slightest pity. Be gracious saying ‘fear not’.
Explanatory paraphrase: Arunachala, though [I have been] begging [beseeching or entreating] [you] [so piteously that it would melt even a stone], being [like] a cheat [fraud or deceiver] [you] do not feel [or show] even the slightest pity [for me]. [At least now] be gracious saying ‘fear not’.
