oh! you people born to live (vaazhveer gaaL) in this world (vaiyam), won't

you listen (kELeero) to the deeds (kirisai) we do (chey) to us (naam) and to

our (nam) idol (paavai)!. We sing (paadi) in praise of the feet (adi) of the

Lord (paraman) who is in meditative sleep (paiyath thuyil) on the ocean of

milk (paal kadal). We do not eat (uNNOm) ghee (ney). We do not drink (uNNOm)

milk (paal). We bathe (neeraadi) early morning (naat kaalE). We do not use

(ezhudhOm) eye make up (mai). We (naam) do not hairstyle (mudiyom) with

flowers (malar). We do not do (seyyOm) prohibited things (seyyaadhana). We

do not go and recite (chenRu OdhOm) bad (theeya) demons (kuRaL) works. We

donate (kai kaattu) to poor people (pichchai), to deserving people (aiyam),

to ascetic people (aandhanai). We think (eNNi) about our salvation (uyya)

and feel happy (ugandhu).
