Verse 8:
முந்திவா னோர்கள் வந்து முறைமையால் வணங்கி யேத்த
நந்திமா காள ரென்பார் நடுவுடை யார்க ணிற்பச்
சிந்தியா தேயொ ழிந்தார் திரிபுர மெரிப்பர் போலும்
அந்திவான் மதியஞ் சூடும் ஆவடு துறைய னாரே.
When those who are called Nandi and Mākāḷar, stood firm in the right path without any harm and when the celestial beings came first and bowed and praised in the proper manner, the Lord in Āvaṭutuṟai, who has on his head the crescent moon that rises in the sky at sunset will burn the three cities of those who never thought of Siva.
When the three cities were destroyed by Siva, three demons escaped destruction.
( These three were those who did not become inimical, succumbing to the wily teachings of Vishnu. Of these three, two were appointed as guards of Kailash,
their names are Nandi and Mākāḷar.)
Arunachala Siva.
