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 138 - Tantra 1 - Siva's Holy Feet is everything...

திருவடியே சிவம் ஆவது தேரில்
திருவடியே சிவ லோகம் சிந்திக்கில்
திருவடியே செல்கதி அது செப்பில்
திருவடியே தஞ்சம் உள் தெளிவார்க்கே.  138.

Literal Translation
1  Holy-Foot-Itself Sivam become-will inquire-if
2  Holy-Foot-Itself Siva('s) Abode think-if
3  Holy-Foot-Itself Going-Destination that utter-if  
4  Holly-Foot-Itself Refuge Inner Penetrating-Ones-for (counted thus!)

Lucid Translation
1  If (you) inquire, (Siva's) Holy Feet themselves will become
    Sivam (Parasiva, the Absolute Existence).
2  If (you) think, (Siva's) Holy Feet themselves (are) Siva's Abode
3  If (you) utter, (Siva's) Holy Feet themselves (are) that Destination towards which we are going
4  For those penetrating into themselves, (Siva's) Holy Feet themselves are the Refuge (counted thus!).
