aNdarkaLOdu adal Ar thakkan chanthira cUriyar veezhac chenRu ampala meethinil Adu aththan gurunAthA: maimed and knocked down the celestials and the strong king Dhakshan, along with the Moon and the Sun; then, He went on to the golden stage (in Chidhambaram) and danced; He is Lord SivA, and You are His Great Master, Oh Lord!

sinthuramOdu ari thEr varkkam pongamodu Ezh kadal cUr pathman sinthida vEl vidu vAkaith thiN puya vELE: The surging armies of elephants, horses and chariots, along with the seven seas and the demon SUran were all destroyed when You wielded the victorious spear with all the strength of Your powerful shoulders, Oh Great Leader!
