1376. You, the highest one, who went to the sacrifice of king Mahabali,
begged him for three feet of land and then cleverly measured the earth
and the sky with your two feet
stay in Thiruvellarai filled with groves
where bees fly to the asoka trees and swarm around their red flowers
and the cuckoo birds coo loudly when they see those red flowers
because they think that the bees have caught fire.
I worship you. Give me your grace.
