Uzhidu ampuyan vElAvAlayam Udu thangiya mAlAr Atharavu Otha veN thirai cUr mArpu UduRa vidum vElA: and as Brahma who dispenses the destiny of each and everyone, along with Lord VishNu who resides on the milky ocean, solicited Your love and patronage, You wielded the spear piercing and splitting the heart of the demon SUran who stood in the sea amidst white waves, Oh Lord!

vEdu koNdu(L)La vEdA vEdaiya vEzha vem puli pOlE vEdarkaL mEvu(m) thiN puna(m) meethE mAthodu mika mAlAy: You came in the disguise of a hunter, Oh Lord! You were enchanted with deep passion for VaLLi, who was in the fertile millet-field where hunters, with the ferocity of tiger, lived!
