1421. When an eagle with beautiful wings,
terrified of an angry poisonous snake,
came to you and asked for refuge, you felt pity in your heart,
gave your grace and saved it—I have heard about your kindness.
Afraid that the cruel messengers of Yama,
speaking unkind words, will come to me and do cruel things,
I, your slave, have come to you and worship your feet
to be saved from them,
O god of Thiruvarangam surrounded with beautiful groves.
