"The Lord (Manalan), who is adorned with flowers, is beloved by both Lakshmi (the goddess) and Bhoomi Devi (the Earth goddess). The one with beautiful eyes (Kannalan), who is the soul of all beings in this world and revered by all celestial beings, resides in Thirunavaya, where His divine words are cherished. When will I behold Him here in Thirunavaya, joyfully enjoying Himself to His heart’s content?"
