About this work

Description

Vayiräkkiya Dipam: philosophical treatise on the absence of worldly passion. The self-illusion of 'I' and 'mine' is compared to darkness, and mind and renunciation to a house and to light respectively. The mind is illuminated by the light of renunciation which in turn dispels the darkness of self-illusion. This treatise may be identical with the work of Säntalinga Désikar of Tirutturaiyür entitled Vayiräkkiya Catakam, a poem of one hundred verses on self-control.
