Veeriyam eentra                                 arul baalakan

Thellum thamizh                                vaanavarkku vendum

Dravyam tharum                                then kulathoor ayyaa

Pillai shella pillai                                gana naathan

Per pettru vaazhnthidum                   naadu engal naadu

Valliyammai                                        velavar vanthu

Manam cherntha malanaadu                        engal naadu

The graceful boy    who was born   to,

 The lord of silver mountain and Lord Vishnu who is

And it is also   the mountain land,

Where lord Subramanya married  Valli.

Dushtarai                                           adakki aala

Ishtamaam                                         pariyil yeri

Evarkkumey                                       udhaviyaaka

Kashtam athai                                    akattri aalum

Kathikkum                                          ikkathaikal yaavum

Shattamaayi                                       daasan sholla

Naavil                                                             vantharuluvaayey

 To enable this slave  to tell   properly  all those stories,

Where bad people are subdued  and ruled over ,

By  riding on a good horse ,

And also giving a helping hand to everyone ,

And also to remove troubles from all people

You please come and live on my toungue.
