1778. She says, “ The sorrowful calling of the andril bird that stays on the long branch of the palm tree in the grove is more cruel than the pain of a spear making a wound.

Do you think this worship will become a habit for us?” - Verse 2:
1779. She says, “As a dwarf, he, the king, measured the whole world, and as a swan he taught the Vedās to the sages. I fell in love with him and my body became pale.

1780. She says, “My lonely heart went everywhere searching for him who is adorned with a thulasi garland. Has it lost its way?

Why does he stand silently like a divine statue. ” - Verse 4:
1781. She says, “He came as a man-lion and split open the chest of the strong Hiranyan with his claws. Will he give his grace to us?

1783. She says, “The hot shining sun goes on his chariot, wanders all day and sets in the evening. My heart burns cruelly, paining me all day in the heat.

1784. She says, “The sound of thunder and the ringing of the cowbells never cease, burning me even more than fire. I fold my hands and worship him in Thiruppullāni filled with beautiful jewel-studded palaces. I have done bad karmā. The wind from the ocean blows hot on me. ” - Verse 8:
1785. She says, “He broke the tusks of the hollow-trunked elephant and rests on Adisesha on a snake bed and gives his grace to us. I fold my hands and worship him in Thiruppullāni where the cherundi trees shower golden flowers. The crescent moon with its mark sheds hot fire on me. ” - Verse 9:
