Simple Translation
779. You, the Māyan carrying the discus in your strong hand
created the earth, swallowed the earth and spat it out,
and you created the oceans and slept on the milky ocean.
When the Asuras Thirumāli and Sumali came to fight with you,
you sent them to Yama’s world,
O you who went as a dwarf and measured the world.
