- Verse 1:
1188. I am your slave and you came and entered my thoughts. You are sweet to my mind and I worship you. You are my wealth and my precious life, the dear god of Thiruvāli where everywhere the tender shoots of asoka trees bloom like fire with lovely red flowers. - Verse 2:
1189. You rest on a snake bed on the ocean like a precious blue jewel on a mountain and you are also in the mind of me, your slave. You are the dear god of Thiruvāli where lovely flocks of peacocks dance in the groves and the smoke from the sugarcane presses rises above like clouds and spreads fragrance everywhere. - Verse 3:
1190. You are not concerned that today will soon be gone like yesterday. — you have entered my heart today and you will stay there forever. You are the dear god of beautiful Thiruvāli where rich paddy grows on the banks of the fields filled with water and the vālai fish that jump from the hands of farmers as they cut the crop fall among the flourishing sugarcane. - Verse 4:
1191. You made me forget the beautiful women with waists as thin as lightning and think only of your divine, eternal feet. You are our dear father, the god of beautiful Thiruvāli filled with thriving paddy fields, flourishing groves, punnai trees, blooming cherundi plants and swans. - Verse 5:
1192. I have adorned you with many flower garlands and worship your feet, O lord and divine sage who destroyed the Asurans who came as marudu trees Do not make me suffer, O god of beautiful Thiruvāli where the sound of songs, conches and drums spreads everywhere and the music for dancing fills the place and never stops. - Verse 6:
1193. I offered eight kinds of fragrant flowers, worshiped your beautiful divine feet and thought only of you, who have entered my heart—I will not let you leave. You are the dear god of beautiful Thiruvāli where Vediyars do morning and evening worship, perform sacrifices, recite the four Vedās without stopping and teach the Vedās to others. - Verse 7:
1194. You who rest on Adisesha on the ocean with rolling waves came and entered the mind of me, your slave, and I will not let you leave. You, all-knowing and virtuous, stay in beautiful Thiruvāli where many crabs sleep on cool lotus flowers in the shadow of nyazhal and punnai trees that are always in bloom. - Verse 8:
1195. You who rest on Adisesha on the wide ocean filled with conches on the shore in Kadalmallai entered my heart and gave me your grace. If you want to leave my heart, I will not let you. You stay in Thiruvāli where sweet bees embrace fragrant shenbaga and jasmine blossoms and then go to play among the tender leaves of young palm trees. - Verse 9:
1196. O lord, you are the king of the gods, the creator of the Vedās and you taught the Vedās to the sages when they worshiped you and came to you reciting your thousand names. You, the ancient god of beautiful Thiruvāli, taught the lives of the divine sages to the world and you should teach me also even a little of the Vedās. - Verse 10:
1197. Kaliyan with strong mountain-like arms composed ten sweet poems on the god Māyan of Thiruvāli surrounded with groves where bees embrace one another and sing. If devotees learn these pāsurams well and sing them and teach them to others, they will go to the spiritual world in the sky.
