Varam
வரம்★ EssentialA boon — something asked for and granted.
Meaning
Varam is a boon or blessing, typically requested from a deity and granted. Lyrics frequently end with a plea for varam: grant me the boon of remembering your feet, of singing your praise, of never leaving your presence. Where arul is grace given freely, varam is the specific thing asked for.
