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.

Tirumnatiram 132 - Tantra 1 - Siva Yogi's Attaiments

பெற்றார் உலகில் பிரியாப் பெருநெறி
பெற்றார் உலகில் பிறவாப் பெரும்பயன்
பெற்றார் அம்மன்றில் பிரியாப் பெரும்பேறு
பெற்றார் உலகுடன் பேசாப் பெருமையே.  132

Literal Translation
1  Obtained world-bereft departing-not great-order
2  Obtained world-in becoming-not great-vastness
3  Obtained that-space-in departing-not great-profit
4  Obtained world-with speaking-not glory (counted thus).

Lucid Translation
Siva Yogi obtained,-
1  the constant great Order without the awareness of any world,
2  the great Vastness that was not becoming any world,
3  the great Profit of awareness in the constant Space, and
4  the Glory of not speaking with the world.
