adaikkala patthu verse translation wanted

From the Bhakti List Archives

• September 10, 1998


Dear Bhaktas,

I have heard this verse of Vedanta Desika's 
often. It is very appealing to the ear by 
virtue of its alliteration and internal rhyme.
Could someone give me a translation?

thirumakaLun^ thiruvadivun^ thiruvaruLun^ theLLarivu
marumaiyilaa maiyumuRavu maLappariya vadiyarasuNG
karumamazhip paLippamaippuNG kalakkamilaa vakain^inRa
varuL varathar nilaiyilakki lampenan^aa NnamizhnthEnE.

Thanking you in advance,
