Civaṉ adorns himself with the sacred ash.
the Lord in Aṇṇāmalai which has rising water.
he dared so much as to drink the poison which rose in the ocean in which the crescent was born.
having drunk it.
has a black neck as a result of that.
many diseases will not approach those whose hearts melt, praising the feet of the Lord who has a fragrant caṭai.
