Manam

மனம்★ Essential
Tamil

The mind, or the heart — the seat of feeling.

Lyrics

Meaning

Manam covers both mind and heart: thought and feeling together, with no separation between them. Lyrics address it directly — 'oh manam, worship his feet' — and use it for the inner state a devotee cannot hide from the deity.
