1174. Kannan, the heroic god of rich Thillai Chitrakudam
where gods come and bow to him
comes on the street looking like a mountain of kohl
as the cowherd women with beautiful long eyes like kāvi flowers
fold their hands in worship, praise him and say,
“Who could do this heroic deed except him?
Angry at the strong elephant Kuvalayābeedam, he killed it. ”
