saappadunnai saarndhuNavayan 
Saanthamai povan Arunachala

Meaning
Arunachala, to satisfy my insatiable hunger I came to you, instead I ended up being eaten by you! Once I am completely digested by you, I will be at peace. 

Explanation
​
Saappadu means food, experience. sa+antham = saantham where antham is end. Saantham is peace, tranquility. Ego that has an end becomes food for Arunachala who is Atma swaroopam (I-I), and is thus swallowed and becomes one with the Lord. This results in a state of peace.  This offering of ‘me, I’ to God is called ‘losing the “I”ness’ and surrender by shastras.

    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!
