Simple Translation
1749. When Gajendra, the elephant
went to get flowers for the god,
a crocodile caught his feet in the pond
and he worshiped the lord raising his trunk and asked for help,
and our god came, threw his heroic discus,
killed the evil crocodile and saved him.
The almighty god stays in Thirukkannangudi
surrounded by precious palaces with jewel-studded walls
where in the flourishing fields kuvalai flowers,
blossoming lotuses, lovely kazuneer flowers
and neydal flowers bloom.
