1163. O devotees, if you want to live
thinking only of the dark-colored lord shining like a jewel,
who as Rāma shot his sharp arrows at the ocean
and built a bridge to go to Lankā,
just go to beautiful Thillai Chitrakudam
where Vediyars recite the Vedās that they know so well
and young girls listen to their recitation and sing after them
while parrots hear the girls and chant with them.
