ASHTAMUHURTAM.
The seven worlds, ten quarters, He the One,
And Many, He stands, so, let
us sing.
Saint Tayumanavar selects the following verse from St.
Appar s Devaram for special praise
in his
As earth, fire, water, air and Ejaman
As moon, the sun and space, as Ashta Murti,
As goodness and evil, as male and female,
Himself the Form of every form,
As yesterday and to-day and to-morrow,
My Lord with the braided hair stands Supreme.
The following verse of St. Appar also explains how this
Being who is the greatest of the great is so small also, as to be
confined in ourselves.
As Ashta Murti, He performs functions
He, my Father and God, possessed of eight attributes
He, the Ashta Murti is my Lord and Master
He, the Ashta Murti is confined in me.
Saint Jnana Sambanda has the following verse.
