Unlimited Grace in the context of limitations

A beautiful poem from Kalhana on the form of Ardhanaari of Siva.

'His form seems limited
by sharing his left with the daughter
of the Mountain-King;
On His head shines the moon
limited by digits few;
And He has a weapon
with a break in the middle;
But how does His grace abounds
unlimited on every being
taking refuge in Him !'

வபு: கண்டே கண்ட: ப்ரதிவஸதி சைலேந்த்ரதுஹிது:
சிகண்டே கண்டேந்து: ஸ்வயமபி விபு: கண்டபரசு:|
ததாபி ப்ரத்யக்ரம் சரணமுபயாதம் ப்ரதிவிபோ:
அகண்டோ வ்யாபாரோ ஜகதி கருணயா விஜயதே ||
(அர்த்தநாரீச்வர ஸ்தோத்ரம்)

The tension and the contrariety between the temporal and the eternal, the limited and the unlimited, the local and the universal, the atomic and the all-pervading, the imperfect and the perfect is captured poetically in the form of Siva. His grace alone is the bridge which connects the transient being with the ever-abiding. But nothing can limit that Grace, which is the only saving factor. All else, we do not know and perhaps we can never know.
