Oh Lord with whose feet the crowns of the good tevar closely come into contact, in Pūntarāy, where by the sides of the tanks adjacent to the red paddy fields, the flowers of Puṉṉai (mast-wood tree) resemble coral lying on a white cloth!
please tell me the reason for having placed the crescent with the cobra in the red and entwining caṭai.
[The decade on Kaṇtiyūr Vīrattam and Tiruvalañcuḻi are in the form of questions put to the devotees and the God respectively]
