koorvaat kaNNiyar kodumayir padaadharuL
Koorndhenai serndharuL Arunachala

Meaning
Arunachala! Shower me with your grace and merge with me in such a way that I don’t fall prey to the cunning plans and schemes laid out by those whose eyes are sharp as swords.


Explanation
​Note: In Tamil, ‘kaNNi’ is a feminine and kaNNan is a male, both mean ‘ -eyed’, as in, Tamarai KaNNan means lotus eyed (Thaamarai is lotus and kaNNan is eyed, [kaNNan also means Lord Krishna]), and Angayar kAnni means beautiful fish eyed goddess where Am is beauty, Kaylal is fish and kaNNi is eyed. 


Koor vaaL kaNNiyar - koor vaaL literally is sharp sword. Here it refers to those with a cunning, scheming mind. KaNNi also means net/trap laid out by a hunter to capture animals.  Just the way deer walk into traps set by sword-eyed hunters, may you shower your grace  and merge with me so I don’t fall prey to the deceitful schemes of the crafty, sly people who are intent on trapping the unsuspecting in their snare with their sweet talk.

This is a fitting description of the fake gurus who draw guileless, naive seekers and entrap them for their own selfish gains.

    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!
