1787. Kaliyan, the poet with strong mountain-like arms,
composed pāsurams describing how a girl with a waist like lightning
loves our father, the lord of Thiruppullāni
surrounded with punnai trees blooming with golden flowers.
If devotees learn and recite these pāsurams well
they will rule this earth as kings and also rule the sky.
