before time when your relations will say, our master has expired by tying your hands and feet with a piece of cloth.
It is the custom to tie the thumbs and big toes of a corpse with a small piece of cloth
you
praise the god of black neck, Araṉ who never fails in granting his grace, in PuḷḷirukkuVēḷūr.
