Slokam 30

rame rAme murArAte: mAramAta: ati itare |
tatam timiram etat tu matita: atitarAmi te ||

Meaning:

rame! The beloved of Murari (murArAte)! The Mother of Manmatha (mAra mAta)! One who is superlative! I am crossing this expanse of darkness with Your knowledge.

Comments:

The darkness that is referred to here is ignorance. Upanishad says ‘tamasa: parastAt’. SrI VaikunTham is present beyond the tamas or the darkness. Thus, crossing the darkness means going to paramapadam. PirATTi is the Mother of Manmatha who makes us desirous. Desire leads us to ignorance and hence darkness. With PirATTi’s help, darkness can be crossed, the desires avoided. Manmatha would not dare to tempt the devotees of his Mother. PirATTi’s consort, EmperumAn, is the siddhopAyam or the means for crossing the tamas that leads us to paramapadam. Upanishad says ‘tamaso mA jyotir gamaya’, crossing the darkness leads to paramjyoti. However, both EmperumAn and Manmatha will not help us unless they get the signal from PirATTi to go ahead.

The poet says that he is crossing the darkness with the help of PirATTi’s knowledge. It means

(1) the knowledge that PirATTi conferred upon him — sva dattha sva dhiyA as said in nyAsadaSakam,

(2) the knowledge about PirATTi and Her glory,

(3) the knowledge that I obtained following Your sankalpa/will that I should be liberated.

‘etat’- it indicates ‘this darkness’, ‘this ignorance’ and ‘this samsAra’. The poet has used the term ‘tatam’ to mean excessive darkness.
