NAMMALVAR: TIRUVOIMOZHI: A SELECTION: 1-1-5

அவரவர் தமதமது அறிவறி வகைவகை
அவரவர் இறையவர் என அடி அடைவர்கள்
அவரவர் இறையவர் குறைவிலர் இறையவர்
அவரவர் விதிவழி அடைய நின்றனரே
(1-1-5)

Avaravar thamathamathu arivari vakaivakai
Avaravar iraiyavar ena adi adaivargal
Avaravar iraiyavar kuraivilar iraiyavar
Avaravar vidhivazhi adaiya ninranare


Everyone, as his understanding guides him,
Turns to his god and reaches him,
Flawless these gods are,
And all those who seek them,
Each one in his way,
Reach the Lord’s feet.
(Translation: A. Srinivasa Raghavan)

(In the Vaishnava tradition, these people worship the God (Narayana) who also lives in their own gods as the antaryami (the in-dweller.)
