1289. Our father who drank milk from the breasts of Putanā
whose teeth were sharp as swords,
and who shot his powerful arrows to kill the Rākshasas in Lankā
and take away the suffering of the people
stays in Thirumanikkudam in Nāngur
where women with sweet mouths as red as kovvai fruits
bathe in the Kaveri river and the kumkum ornamenting their breasts
is washed off and mingles with the water, making it divine.
