1510. Our lord Nambi who rests
on the shining snake Adisesha on the clear milky ocean
shot his arrow and killed Marisan
when the Raksasan came in the form of a swiftly running deer
and went to king Mahabali as a dwarf, asked for three feet of land,
and measured the world and the sky with his two feet.
He stays in Thirunaraiyur where in the groves filled with birds,
kāvi flowers bloom like the eyes of beautiful women
and lotuses bloom like their faces.
