Oh! Lord of all beings! Is the one single great help be not sufficient ? In
order to protect the moving and non moving living beings in your stomach and
others outside you neither swallowed nor spat but stopped at your throat the
deadly fearful fire producing herbal poison which makes the Devas flee.

*Commentary*

Aum

Hey! Parameswara! To know your great kaarunyam, endless sakthi and eternal
love, is not recalling your fantastic feat of aalaahala paanam enough! Hey!
Jagadeesaa! You have taken a vow to protect the entire universe and all the
living beings, is it not? The wonder of it all is that you put into your
mouth that terrible poison and when Paarvathi stopped you from swallowing
because she feared that the jeevaraasis and the worlds inside you would die,
yet you would not spit it out because you have taken the poison in to
protect the worlds outside! So you kept it in your throat and turned it into
an aabharaNam. No other god could have done this extraordinary feat! Thus
the very name ‘ThiruneelakaNtam’ stuns the bhaktha and turns him into
ecstacy!

கடிக்கும் அரவால் மலயால் அமரர்
கடலைக் கடைய எழுகாள கூடம்,
ஒடிக்கும் உலகங்களை என் றதனை உமக்கே
அமுதாக உண்டீர் உமிழீர்,
இடிக்கும் மழைவீழ்த் திருத்திட்டருவி இருபாலும்
ஓடி இரைக்குந் திரைக்கை,
அடிக்கும் புனல்சேர் அரிசிற் றென்கரை அழகார்
திருப்புத் தூர் அழக னீரே.
