I was born in this earth due to my karmas.
In order that Yaman (Death-God) does not come near me,
I must reach salvation with Your concurrence.
Vishnu and BrahmA could never fathom
Your Cosmic Dance; You must come to me performing that dance.
You are the consort of Devayani, who is pure nectar personified.
You have six holy faces and twelve eyes!
You possess the bright and mighty spear that conquered the entire dynasties of SUran.
You chose PazhamuthirchOlai as Your abode, Oh Great One!
