Vedas, Devas acrowding with fair Maal and Brahma
Are inebriate. In repeated pleading, they tried
To grasp you. While such are they, I, your trivial,
Vassal have versed in words vain that not see
Your sounding Kazhal-feet. May you brook
My vacuous hollowness. O, abode of Mercy
Granting full in spatium! May you will it so
I your servient one deliberate on your will!
Translation: S. A. Sankaranarayanan (2007)
