Day in and day out, at all times, I want to praise Your glory in the three facets of Tamil, namely, literature, music and drama;
kindly bestow Your blessings on me so that the steady and fundamental truth is clearer to me.
You are the greatest treasure, full of supreme compassion and grace!
You are the embodiment of the True Knowledge of paramount SivA!
You are the noble son of Lord SivA! You chose Your abode at ThiruvaNNAmalai, Oh Great One!
