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 140 - Tantra 1 - Separating and encountering Siva, the 5 senses approach the Self

தானே புலன்-ஐந்தும் தன்-வசம் ஆயிடும்
தானே புலன்-ஐந்தும் தன்-வசம் போயிடும்
தானே புலன்-ஐந்தும் தன்னில் மடை-மாறும்
தானே தனித்து எம்-பிரான் தனைச்-சந்தித்தே.  140.

Literal Translation
1  Of own accord sense(s) five-all Self-authority become-will
2  Of own accord sense(s) five-all Self-dominion proceed-will
3  Of own accord sense(s) five-all Self-within path-change-will
4  Of own accord (having-)separated (and) our Lord-Himself (having-)met (counted thus).

Lucid Translation
Of their own accord, all the 5 sense(s),-
1  will become self-governed,
2  will proceed to the dominion of the (Supreme) Self,
3  will change their path to the (Supreme) Self-within
4  (having-)separated (and) met our Lord-(Siva-)Himself
(counted thus).
