801. The Thiruppadi of the lord
who in ancient times, taking the form of heroic Rāma,
shot arrows from his bow with his strong hands
and made the dark ocean in Lankā with its white waves grow red
is famous Srirangam
surrounded by groves swarming with bees
where the divine water of the Kaveri flows
in all the eight directions.
