Verse 28:
aṟivuṇmai niṭṭaṉā māṉmavit tāvā
ṉaṟivāṟ pulaṉceṯṟā ṉārtā — ṉaṟivaṅgi
yāvaṉaṟi vāṅkuliśat tāṉkāla kālaṉavaṉ
cāviṉaimāy vīraṉeṉac cāṯṟu.

Padacchēdam (word-separation): aṟivu uṇmai niṭṭaṉ ām āṉma-vittu āvāṉ aṟivāl pulaṉ seṯṟāṉ ār tāṉ; aṟivu aṅgi āvaṉ; aṟivu ām kuliśattāṉ; kāla-kālaṉ avaṉ sāviṉai māy vīraṉ eṉa sāṯṟu.

Note: This verse, which is also included in Guru Vācaka Kōvai as verse B20, is Bhagavan’s adaptation of the following verse, the source of which is unknown (though according to some accounts it is from Yōga Vāsiṣṭham, but as I explain above in the introduction, I doubt whether it actually is):

विषयप्रतिसंहारं यः करोति विवेकतः
मृत्योर्मृत्युरितिख्यातः सविद्वानात्मवित्कविः ।
ज्ञानसद्भावसंस्थानः ज्ञानाग्निः ज्ञानवज्रभृत्
मृत्युहन्तेतिविख्यातः महावीरो विमत्सरः ॥

viṣayapratisaṁhāraṁ yaḥ karōti vivēkataḥ
mṛtyōrmṛtyuritikhyātaḥ savidvānātmavitkaviḥ |
jñānasadbhāvasaṁsthānaḥ jñānāgniḥ jñānavajrabhṛt
mṛtyuhantētivikhyātaḥ mahāvīrō vimatsaraḥ ||
One day (sometime between 1928 and 1931) Bhagavan explained the implication of this Sanskrit verse, and Muruganar recorded his explanation in verse 1030 of Guru Vācaka Kōvai, on seeing which Bhagavan composed this verse.

Verse 29:
tattuvaṅ gaṇḍavaṯkut tāmē vaḷarumoḷi
buddhivalu vumvasantam pōndadumē — yittaraiyiṯ
ṟāruvaṙa hādi sakala guṇaṅgaḷuñ
cēra viḷaṅgaleṉat tēr.

Padacchēdam (word-separation): tattuvam kaṇḍavaṯku tāmē vaḷarum oḷi, buddhi valuvum, vasantam pōndadumē, i-t-dharaiyil dāru aṙahu ādi sakala guṇaṅgaḷum sēra viḷaṅgal eṉa. tēr.

Note: This verse is Bhagavan’s adaptation of Yōga Vāsiṣṭham 5.76.20:
बलं बुद्धिश्च तेजश्च दृष्टतत्त्वस्य वर्धते ।
सवसन्तस्य वृक्षस्य सौन्दर्याद्यागुणा इव ॥

balaṁ buddhiśca tējaśca dṛṣṭatattvasya vardhatē |
savasantasya vṛkṣasya saundaryādyāguṇā iva ||

Verse 30:
sēymaiyuḷañ ceṉḏṟukadai kēṭpārpōl vādaṉaiga
ṭēymaṉañcey duñceyyā dēyavaiga — ṭōymaṉañcey
diṉḏṟēṉuñ ceydadē yiṅgasaivaṯ ṟuṅgaṉaviṯ
kuṉḏṟēṟi vīṙvār kuṙi.

Padacchēdam (word-separation): sēymai uḷam seṉḏṟu kadai kēṭpār pōl, vādaṉaigaḷ tēy maṉam seydum seyyādē. avaigaḷ tōy maṉam seydu iṉḏṟu ēṉum, seydadē; iṅgu asaivu aṯṟum kaṉavil kuṉḏṟu ēṟi vīṙvār kuṙi.

Note: This verse, which is also included in Guru Vācaka Kōvai as verse B22, is Bhagavan’s adaptation of Yōga Vāsiṣṭham 5.56.13 and 14:
अकर्तृ कुर्वदप्येतच्छेतः प्रतनुवासनम् ।
दूरण्गतमनाजन्तुः कथा संश्रवणे यथा ॥

akartṛ kurvadapyētacchētaḥ pratanuvāsanam |
dūraṇgatamanājantuḥ kathā saṁśravaṇē yathā ||

अकुर्वदपि कर्त्रेव चेतः प्रघनवासनम् ।
निष्पन्दाण्गमपि स्वप्ने श्वभ्रपातस्थिताविव ॥

akurvadapi kartrēva cētaḥ praghanavāsanam |
niṣpandāṇgamapi svapnē śvabhrapātasthitāviva ||

One day (sometime between 1928 and 1931) Bhagavan discussed these two Sanskrit verses, and Muruganar recorded the meaning of them as explained by him in verses 1133 and 1134 of Guru Vācaka Kōvai, on seeing which Bhagavan composed this verse, summarising the meaning of them more succinctly.
