It is but one face of Yours that mounted the mount-worthy peacock and flew around sportively;
It is but one face of Yours that preached True Knowledge to Lord SivA;
It is but one face of Yours that removed the deeds of the devotees who sang Your praise;
It is but one face of Yours that stoically directed the spear to pierce through the mount Krouncha;
It is but one face of Yours that destroyed the rebellious demons;
It is but one face of Yours that came forward to marry VaLLi in wedlock;
How come You are known as the Lord with six hallowed faces?
Oh Lord, You are seated in the old town of ThiruvaNNAmalai, Oh Great One!
