One Word Many Meanings

Each Classical Tamil word has many possible meanings

Because in incantation languages like Classical Tamil, each word has many possible meanings to it, with mind humbly invoking Lord Siva's Grace, we just have to look into the classical Tamil dictionary for the meaning of each word in a Tirumantiram verse that yields a coherent and wholesome meaning.

Tirumantiram 135 - Tantra 1 - When 5 senses adjoin awareness, Light adjoins pure space

சத்த-முதல் ஐந்தும் தன்வழித் தான்-சாரில் 
சித்துக்குச் சித்-அன்றிச் சேர்விடம் வேறு-உண்டோ(?)
சுத்த வெளியில் சுடர்-இல் சுடர் சேரும்
அத்தம்-இது குறித்து ஆண்டு-கொள் அப்பிலே.  135.

இல் - இல்லாத

Literal Translation
1  Sound-beginning five-all self-path self-adjoin-if
2  Awareness-for awareness-other-than adjoining-place other-does-abide ?
3  Pure Space-in Flameless Light adjoin-will
4  Great-Path this-(having-)marked (having-)utilized-hold Lord-in

Lucid Translation
1  If all the 5 (essences) beginning with Sound*
    adjoin (back towards involution into the Absolute Reality, in) their path (of evolution),
2  does any place other than awareness, abide for awareness to adjoin ?

3  In pure Space, Flameless Light will adjoin.

4  Having marked and utilized this Great Path,
    hold (awareness) in the Lord(-ly Light).

* 5 essences emerging during evolution from Absolute Awareness Reality are:
   1  Supreme Energy-Sound
   2  Supreme Lord-Light
   3  Revealing Space Power
   4  Lordly Concealing Power
   5  Pure Knowing Essence, the triple powers of creation, preservation and dissolution
