பாசமுங் கழிக்க கில்லா
அரக்கரைப் படுத்துத் தக்க
வாசமிக் கலர்கள் கொண்டு
மதியினால் மால்செய் கோயில்
நேசமிக் கன்பி னாலே
நினைமின்நீர் நின்று நாளுந்
தேசமிக் கான் இருந்த
திருஇரா மேச்சு ரமே.
Having destroyed the demon, Ravana, who were not able to remove even the attachments, the temple established by
Mahavishnu, whose incarnation is Rama, by his spiritual knowledge and worshipped by him with suitable flowers of excellent fragrance. People of this world! You daily meditate upon Rameswaram, where Siva who is the effulgent light stays, for a long time, with love born out of excessive affections.
Arunachala Siva.
