Simple Translation
1638. I searched for him and in Thirukannamangai
I found the lord who is the large ocean, a heroic bull,
female and male, the results of tapas
who gives endless grace to the sages,
a precious chain of pearls, the soul of his devotees,
the desire in my mind,
a lovely bud, a fragrant blossom
and as sweet as a fruit and sugarcane.
