Ξ ஆறாம் தந்திரம் . (திருவடிப் பேறு) பாடல்: 1598
திருமந்திரம் | Thirumanthiram
திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிவமாக்கு விக்குந்
திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிவலோகஞ் சேர்க்குந்
திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிறைமல மீட்குந்
திருவடி ஞானமே திண்சித்தி முத்தியே.

Jnana of Holy Feet makes you Siva,
Jnana of Holy Feet takes you to world of Siva,
Jnana of Holy Feet free you from imprisoned impurities,
Jnana of Holy Feet is Siddhi and Mukti too.

Jñānam (Knowledge) means perceiving things as they truly are — the clarity of understanding. This Jñānam is divided into two types: external knowledge and internal knowledge.  
Learning about the external world is called science, while learning about the inner self is called true knowledge or spiritual wisdom. Divine Foot Knowledge (Thiru Adi Jñānam):
"Thiru" means God. The wisdom of one who is devoted to the feet of the Divine/Guru transforms them into Shivam (a state of divine bliss or consciousness).

Line 1:
திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிவமாக்கு விக்குந்
This Thiru Adi Jñānam transforms a person into Shivam. You are that. That Shivam — the divine — is already within us.
How can one realize it?
For that, one needs shiva-consciousness — an inner awareness of Shiva. First, one begins by understanding Shiva in form, then by experiencing Shiva as mantra or linga,
and finally, by realizing Shiva as pure inner awareness. This is the journey from form to formless, from knowledge to realization. That Thiru Adi — the Divine Foot — is at the crown, the highest chakra (Sahasrara). It makes the person Shiva-like, filled with divine essence and awareness.
That jivan (soul) resides in the bhu loka — the earthly realm, the world where people live and experience life. Here, the five senses are active and engaged with the material world. But our true purpose is to reach Siva loka — the divine realm of Siva. In our body, all the realms (lokas) are present. Each chakra corresponds to a different realm or state of existence. Here’s how the chakras in our body align with different lokas:
Mooladhara (Root Chakra): Bhū Loka, Svadhishthana (Sacral Chakra): Bhuvar Loka
Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra): Svar Loka, 
Anahata (Heart Chakra):  Maharloka, 
Vishuddha (Throat Chakra): Janaloka
Ajna (Third Eye Chakra): Tapoloka, 
Sahasrara (Crown Chakra): Satyaloka/ Atma loka/ brahma loka. 
Wherever that consciousness or awareness is centered, the qualities of that realm/loka manifest in that person. 

Line 2: திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிவலோகஞ் சேர்க்குந்
When a person crosses these six realms/lokas/chakras and reaches the place where the sacred feet of the Divine are located (Sahasrara) that divine wisdom leads the soul to Siva Loka, the realm of Shiva which is the highest state of spiritual realization. 

Line 3: திருவடி ஞானஞ் சிறைமல மீட்குந்
This soul is imprisoned by all the impurities: 

Wish (Kaamam), காமம்,

 anger (Krodham), கோபம்

Desire (Lobam), பேராசை

 Attachment (Mogam), கடும் பற்று

pride (Madham), கர்வம் 

jealousy (Matsaryam), பொறாமை

The soul is liberated from these impurities and rescued through the divine wisdom, which helps it break free from the three main impurities — Aanavam, Kaamam, and Maya — leading to true spiritual wisdom.

Line 4: திருவடி ஞானமே திண்சித்தி முத்தியே. 
This divine wisdom grants moksha for the soul, which is the state of ultimate liberation.

Let Wisdom Flourish!
Let Peace Prevail!
Let us protect Mother earth!
Let us protect the Universe!
