உள்ளங்கை நெல்லிக்கனி போல
மெய்த்தவத் தானை விரும்பும் ஒருவர்க்குக்
கைத்தலம் சேர்தரு நெல்லிக் கனியொக்கும்
சுத்தனைத் தூய்நெறி யாய்நின்ற தேவர்கள்
அத்தனை நாடி அமைந் தொழிந் தேனே. 11
Yearn For Him
He of the Penance Pure;
Transparent as amla fruit
On palm of those who yearn for Him;
He the Pure One,
Whom Celestials seek in ways righteous;
Him, my Lord, I sought;
And thus ever remained.

Under Urine Therapy
அளக நன்னுத லாயோ ரதிசயங்
களவு காயங் கலந்தஇந் நீரிலே
மிளகு நெல்லியும் மஞ்சளும் வேம்பிடில்
இளகும் மேனி இருளுங் கபாலமே
Oh! damsel of flowing tresses and slender forehead!
Hear you a miracle this!
In this Water hidden in the body
Mix pepper, amla, turmeric, and neem
Soft will your body be;
And dark thine hair on head.

Hasthamalakar Miracle
Adi Shankara, the giant among the Indian philosophers travelled through the length and breadth of India. He went to Mahabaleswar Temple at Gokarna and did Bilvarchana to Shiva on a Shivratri day. Then he went to Mukambika and to Srivali. He was lecturing about Advaita every day. Prabhakara Bhattar was the most reputed scholar in the town. But his son was dumb. His parents were very much worried about the future of the handsome teenager. They took him to Shankara. The dumb youth fell at his feet and did not get up. When Shankara lifted his head and asked who he was, he started talking high philosophy: “ I am not a human being, I am not a Deva; neither I am a Brahmin nor a Kshatriaya, Vaisya or a Shudra. Neithr I am a Brahmachari (bachelor) nor a Grahastha (house holder), nor a Sanyasi (ascetic). I am Brahmam”.
Hearing this Shankara told him that you have explained what you are ‘like a goose berry in the hand’ (Hastha Amalaka உள்ளங்கை நெல்லிக்கனி போல). This is a phrase in Tamil and Sanskrit used to express extreme clarity of a thing or subject. From that day he was known as Hasthamalaka and he became one of the main disciples of Shankara.
