1155. Our lord who, as Rāma, broke the bow
to marry Sita with soft, fragrant dark hair,
and carried Govardhanā mountain
as an umbrella to stop the terrible storm
and save the frightened cows and the cowherds
stays in Thiruvayindirapuram
where the flourishing river with its rolling waves
brings the ivory of rutting elephants from the high mountains
along with the fragrance of akil plants
and deposits them all in the paddy fields.
