9. Moving to philosophical works

Verse 9 
பாரப்பா தர்ம நூல் கர்ம காண்டம்
பரிவான கடைக்காண்டம் ஐந்நூறாகும்
சீரப்பா பூஜை விதி தீக்ஷை சொன்னேன்
சிவசிவா பூரண நூல் திறமாய்ச் சொன்னேன்
ஆரப்பா அறிவார்கள் கற்பம் நூறும்
அரிதரிது விரியாமல் அடக்கிச் சொன்னேன்
காரப்பா இருபத்தோராயிரத்தில்
கடைபோட்டேன் வாதி கண்டு கடை கொள்வீரே  (9)

Translation:
See the work on dharma and karma kanda
            The last kanda is five hundred
I told about the puja vidhi and deeksha
            I told the work, siva sivā puranam
How would know about the karpam hundred
            I told that in a condensed form without expanding greatly
In the twenty one thousand
            I set the shop ( I told about the terminus) see it and attain it   (10)

Commentary:

The first two lines talk about the karma kanda that are five in number.  Agatthiyar also composed the puja vidhi and about the dasadeeksha.  The fourth line refers to the siva puranam and sakti puranam.  Siva sivā refers to Siva and Sakti respectively.  In the last line Agatthiyar says that he installed the shop, the term may also mean I described all that is to know and the terminus.  He tells people to see them carefully and obtain the required.
