Civaṉ who has a bull that ruins all things;
Civaṉ!
my dazzling light divine!
who rejoiced in having Umai who has tresses on which bees swarm, on one half!
the chief of the hosts of pūtams who has devotees who have obtained a vision and are warmly attached to you.
our Lord in Kāḷatti!
one who dwells in the great cosmic space.
I would not praise any other god, esteeming them as god, except yourself.

Swift Taurus mount in trot is yours; O, Siva, O, Lux Oritur, Bee buzzed locks rich
mother Uma is on your Part; they that see you shall serve never from you;
O, Head of Bhootas, ONE soaring in KaaLatthi, My Lord of the Supreme Vast,
me, thy slave know none as God other than you. Hence you must needs grace me.
Translation: S. A. Sankaranarayanan, Kumbakonam, 2020
