 kodiyit adiyarai kollunaik katti
kondengan vaazhvaen Arunachala

Meaning
Arunachala! How do I live with you when you (carrying a flag) are so intent on killing (the ego consciousness  or I am the body idea of) your devotees?

Explanation
Destroying the ‘I am the body’ idea (jiva bodham) is referred to here as killing the devotees. Because of this act of grace, jiva bodham is destroyed and siva bodham is attained ( that is Siva consciousness). Those who come in the grip of Arunachala’s grace are akin to prey in a tiger’s mouth and sugarcane in the mouth of an elephant says Bhagavan as they will be totally destroyed (of their false identification with the body).  Then how do I live as separate from you when you are killing your devotees who approach you to live? asks Bhagavan 

My Note: Kodi ittu means carrying a flag like a warrior, since this is an act of destruction Bhagavan compares Arunachala to a warrior king with his flag flying high intent on destruction of ego. The flag reference comes up in Ramana Stuti Panchakam  Verse 20, where dwajam means flag:
bhakti yōḍu paṇindu ninḍṛiḍu bhakta kōḍiyar taṅgaḷai;
mukti meik-karai kāṭṭi mūdaṛi uṭṭṛida dhvajam iṭṭavan.

For devotees bowing down in devotion, he grants the Knowledge that reveals the shore of Liberation; the one who hoists the flag announcing it is Ramana Sat-Guru!

    This is my attempt at translating T.R.Kanakammal's Nool Thirattu in English for those devotees who don't understand Tamil. Hope it helps you. Ramana Saranam! Periyava Saranam!
