thirucciRRambalam

Meaning:
Oh the devoted ! Tell me. I don't understand the act of hara !
The One residing at the kaNDiyUr vIraTTam saluted by the
whole of earth, becoming the end, beginning and this whole world
and in the beautiful ash-spread holy chest, what is the reason 
He wears the thread !

Notes:
1. Child when grows as a boy and is able to manage the personal
responsibilities, one set of tread is worn. When the person gets the
duty of supporting a family one more set of thread is put on. When
the person is required to support an extended family one more set
of thread gets added. Why does the God, Who does not have
any duty of His own, wear the thread ?!
2. paDi - earth; vaiyam - world.
