Irakkam Varaamal describes a bhakta who is asking Shiva the reason for his indifference. What is the reason that you have no mercy and kindness toward me? Have I not done what is meant to be done? I came to you believing that you are an ocean of mercy and kindness, I heard that you drank poison to save and protect the people who came for your help. Yet when I stand here before you, you show no compassion. Gopalakrishnan ( the composer of the song) , sang your praises as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer and I believed his words.
Whatever mistakes and errors I have made in my life, I know that once offered at your feet in Chidambaram, they vanish. I have followed the words of the elders and the path they have laid and I am devoted you in every way. Why is it that you do not bestow your kindness upon me?
