வடிவுடை மாமலை மங்கைபங்
காகங்கை வார்சடையாய்
கடிகமழ் சோலை சுலவு
கடல்நாகைக் காரோணனே
பிடிமத வாரணம் பேணுந்
துரகநிற் கப்பெரிய
இடிகுரல் வெள்ளெரு தேறுமி
தென்னைகொல் எம்மிறையே.
Siva, who has as one half of His form, the beautiful daughter of the great Mountain, Himavan,
-the One who arrested the speed of the Ganga, in His long matted locks. He is Siva, in Nagaik KAronam,
Nagappattinam, on the sea-shore, surrounded by gardens that spread fragrance!
When the female elephant, male elephant having must, attractive horse, remain to be used as Your
vehicles. O our Master! What is the reason for riding on a big white Bull which bellows like thunder?
Arunachala Siva.
