1516. Shivā the bull rider,
with his matted hair adorned with the crescent moon
and the flowing Ganges,
wearing a snake as his ornament and a kondrai garland,
his body smeared with vibhuti ??
went to our god and asked him to remove the curse
that Nānmuhan had given him.
Nambi, the god of Thirunaraiyur -
surrounded with fragrant beautiful groves,
took blood from his mountain-like chest,
poured it into Nānmuhan’s skull
that was stuck to Shivā’s hand and made it fall.
