The petalled lotus is His seat;
He did away
With the misery of Dasarata`s son;
on His
Hoary matted crest He wears a young crescent;
He became
The great arts eight times eight;
He is
Of Valanjuzhi-upon-Ponni of uberous flood;
His feet--
Auric and ankleted--,
are adorned
By the great munis;
lo,
He is the King of Kodeeccharam
At Kottaiyoor in whose cool tanks lilies burgeon.
