Verse 2


O Arunachala! In You all this picture comes into existence,
is sustained, and is
destroyed.
You dance in the heart as Self (or Spirit) as I,
[and hence] they say heart
is name to You.

 

 

O Red Hill! All this, which is a picture, rises,
stands and subsides only in You.
Since
You dance eternally [in] the heart as I,
they say that Your name itself is heart.

 

 

Explanatory paraphrase: O Red Hill (Arunachala)! All this world-appearance, which is a picture, rises, stands and subsides only in You. Since You dance eternally in the heart as the consciousness ā€˜I’, the real Self, those who know the truth (the jnanis) say that Your name itself is heart (hridayam).
