Simple Translation
1613. When you were given good yogurt and ghee
you ate them and laughed,
but then your mother Yasodha tied you to a mortar
and you cried but you were strong enough to pull the mortar.
You are a child for the people of the earth
and the god of gods in the sky
and you are the four yugas,
Krta, Treta, Dvapara and the Kaliyuga.
I know nothing other than your feet,
my father who stay in Thiruvazhundur facing west.
