having adorned himself with the crescent that moves quickly in the sky along with the cloud;
the city where our father and god, Civaṉ, who dances in the fire having as a half the body of the daughter of the mountain glittering like beautiful gold.
striking against bright gold and pushing eagle-wood found in the mountain where the black monkey plays with its female.
is Naṉipaḷḷi where the water (of the Kaviri) which gathers the curapuṉṉai tree and sandalwood tree, dashes against the banks.
