1423. When Markandeyan, the son of a sage
and scholar of all the four Vedās, was terrified of cruel Yama
and came to you asking for refuge
you grew angry at ruthless Yama, took his power away
and gave your wonderful grace to young Markandeyan,
granting him a place beneath your divine feet
so he never would be separated from you.
I heard about that and thought that if I worship you
you will give me your divine grace and keep me under your feet.
I have come to you, my god.
I am your slave and you are my refuge,
O god of Thiruvarangam surrounded by beautiful groves.
