Simple Translation
2055. Our lord who is more ancient than Indra and Nānmuhan.
is the five elements–the large earth, wind, fire water and sky,
the beautiful sound of Tamil,
the words of the northern language,
the four directions, the sun and moon.
Even the gods in the sky do not know him and his divine nature.
He is the secret of the mantras of the Vedās
that the Vediyars recite in the evening.
O ignorant heart, do not forget those mantras.
If you recite them always and live, you will be saved.
