1444. Our lord Kannan was carried by Vasudevan
as a baby in the dark night to a cowherd village
and raised by strong Nandan, the chief of the cowherds.
He was praised by the gods saying, "He is our father"
as they sprinkled fragrant flowers and worshiped him.
He stays in Nandipuravinnagaram surrounded with groves
where peacocks hear the sound of drums and dance
thinking it is the roaring of clouds in the rainy season.
O heart, think of that place where he is
and where the king Nandi served him.
