athin mElE seppa aththi maruppai odippana puRpathaththai imaippil azhippana seyth thalaik kamalaththai alaippana: if comparison is drawn with the ivory tusks of the elephant, these breasts are capable of breaking those tusks as well; if water bubbles are used in comparison, those bubbles are destroyed in a fraction of a second; if the lotus buds in the fields are sought in comparison, those buds are driven in many ways by the water;
thiRam Eya puL thanaik kakanaththil viduppana siththa mun poravittu muRippana putpa ikkan mudik kuRi uyppana: if the powerful chakravAka bird (krouncha) is taken up for comparison, these breasts let the bird free to fly in the sky; they provoke the mind of the men by waging war and destroy them in the ensuing fight; if the crown of the God of Love, Manmathan, holding the flowery arrows and the bow of sugarcane, is compared to them, they are capable of aiming at that crown and knocking it down;
iLa neeraip pukku udaippana muththirai itta thanaththai viRpavar poyk kalavikku uzhal puththi utRamai atRida eppozhuthu aruLvAyE: if the baby coconut is sought to be compared, that coconut is subject to being broken open; thus the breasts beat any object of comparison, and that fact is established by the seal of the breasts which are sold for a price by these whores; why do I have a fixation on these women seeking the transient carnal pleasure offered by them? When will I get rid of this obsession and be blessed by You, Oh Lord?

You are the Valorous One with name and fame! (Coming as ThirugnAna Sambandhar) You composed many rare songs (ThEvAram) in the three branches of Tamil language and won the distinction as the King of SeekAzhi; (to those people who learnt and sang those songs) You beautifully expressed the method of attaining sustained liberation, Oh Lord!
