1263. Our dear lord, Kannan who took water from the hands of Mahābali,
received three feet of land and measured it with his two feet,
raising them to the sky as Nānmuhan worshiped him with flowers
while the Ganges flowed swiftly from the sky,
stays in the temple of Vanpurushothamam in Nāngur
where kongu buds are like the breasts of women, kumudam flowers
bloom like their mouths and beautiful lotuses blossom like their faces.
