1580. In Thiruthancherai where bees stir the pollen
of the flowers and sing,
devotees worship the god saying,
“When Surpanakha with sharp bright teeth
came like a lightning bolt before you,
you cut off her nose and ears with your divine hands. ”
I worship the feet of those virtuous devotees
who sprinkle water and flowers on the god’s feet
and shine brighter than the gods in the sky.
