Civaṉ who is the four Vētam-s,
who is all other objects,
who is the god which is praised in religions,
the āti who is the oldest thing beyond beginning and end, and the supreme goodness and bliss,
the supreme being who has āṉaikka of beautiful and dashing water.
those who approach the feet of the god daily thinking as my Lord not only derive benefit but also claim us as their servants.
