Desire and release in Tiruvāymoḻi 2802–2812

Hart’s translation presents a sustained exhortation to relinquish possessive and worldly desire, remember the impermanence of the body, and orient the self toward the lord of moksha. Several verses describe joining or being contained in the divine, but the page keeps that language inside the translated poem rather than turning it into a universal psychological or metaphysical result.
