1338. Our dear lord who ate the butter that the cowherd women gave him,
slept on a banyan leaf at the end of the eon,
drank the milk of the devil Putanā,
broke the two marudu trees,
and who measured the world and the sky with his two feet at king Mahabali’s sacrifice,
stays in the temple in Thiruvelliyangudi in the southern land
where the Manni river flows among the groves with its abundant water
and coconut, banana and tall kamugu trees grow.
