Thayar: Sri Padmāmani Nāchiyār (Ramāmani Nāchiyār)
2059. You are in the hearts of your devotees
and in Thiruneeragam, on the top of Thiruneermalai,
Nilāthingalthundam in Thiruppadi,
Thiruvuragam in flourishing Thirukkachi,
and Thiruvekka surrounded with flourishing water.
The whole world worships you Thirukkalvā, the god of Thirukkāragam and Thirukkārvanam.
O thief, you stay in the sky and in Thirupper (Koiladi)
where on the southern bank of the Kāviri
beautiful flowers bloom in the groves.
You, the highest one, stay in my heart and you will not leave me.
I worship only your divine feet.
