O the fruit that is eaten by the learned,
praise be!
O the Way trodden by them that have reached
Thy feet,
praise be!
O the Nectar of the destitute,
praise be!
Annulling my woe,
You rule me--Your servitor,
praise be!
O the great One beyond compare,
praise be!
O the Catholicon hailed by the celestials,
praise be!
O Siva that burnt the hostile towns,
praise be!
O Tirumoolattaana,
praise be!
Praise be!
