1587. The poet Kaliyan, Yama to his enemies,
who drives swift chariots yoked with horses,
composed ten musical pāsurams on the god
resting on Adisesha on the water in cool Thiruthancherai
where swans beneath the shadows of a mango trees
are with their mates that walk like women
wearing flowers in their dark hair.
O devotees! Fold your hands together
and worship his pure golden feet.
