1379. Our Māyan who swallowed the whole world
and slept on a banyan leaf
and who rests on the ocean on the snake Adisesha
that has diamonds on his thousand heads
stays in Thennarangam surrounded by the Kaveri
flowing with abundant water mixed with sandal paste
that had been smeared on women’s large breasts
and with flowers from the garlands
that adorned their beautiful hair.
