1597. Kaliyan, the poet who fights with his enemies like Yama,
the king of Thirumangai where cuckoo birds sit on the bushes
that are covered with flourishing vines,
composed ten Tamil pāsurams with rich words
praising the god of Thiruvazhundur
where blooming kuvalai flowers are like women’s eyes,
kumudam flowers in the water are like their mouths
and the alli flowers are bright like their faces.
