Simple Translation
1482. When you become old,
women with eyes even lovelier than a doe’s,
a fish, a spear or a beautiful kāvi flower
and with clever words
will laugh among themselves and mock you.
Before that happens, O heart, rise,
we will go to flourishing Naraiyur
surrounded by fields where vālai and viral fish frolic
and worship him.
