Simple Translation
1576. Tell me, for I am his slave,
what can I give back to him for everything he has done for me?
The famous lord of Naraiyur, the ruler of Thanjai,
who split open the chest of Hiranyan,
and who built a bridge on the ocean, went to Lankā
the land of the king Rāvana,
with a shining sword like lightning and destroyed it -
stays in my heart.
He is a large golden mountain and a diamond hill
and my mind will not praise anyone except him
