vel̤l̤anīr parandhu pāyum – From the source at the Sahyādri hill where the Kāverī begins her journey, her sole intention is to reach Srīraṅgam. Expressing her deep desire, she flows forcefully in all directions, and no one can stop her by building a dam. As her longing to reach Srīraṅgam and worship the Lord there is endless, her flow is also continuous, without end.
