THIRUVASAGAM -- The Sacred Lily Flowers -- Song 3:
(The following verses are taken from G.U Pope's English translation of Thiruvasagam)
===========
Us too, than dogs more vile, of worth and note He made to be;
With greater than a mother’s tenderness, our Perumaan
Cut off ‘illusive birth,’ made us His own; our ‘deeds’ so strong
Laid prostrate humbled in the dust ; PLUCK WE THE LILY-FLOWERS
=============
EXPLANATION:
Our mother would show us affection in this birth alone. But God has been with us throughout our previous births and has been helping us. So Manickavasagar mentions God as 'Greater than a mother's tenderness'. So God due to his mercy, bestows his grace upon us. By God's grace, our deeds (which are the cause of birth and death) will get destroyed.
