KOLLI hills at present

Royal elephant

• Without war it is sleeping in its shed.

Royal-ruling-umbrella

• Under its shadow the peoples of the country sleeps without guard.
• There are always festivals in the houses being thatched with stray along paddy and sugarcane.
• The corn pounding song is always hearing by the side of the houses.
• The people having on chance to reveal their rage plunged into dancing KURAVAI rearing flowers THUMBAI (attacking symbol) and Palmyra (family flower of the CHEERA kings). This dancing song is making lullaby all the night as the waves of the sea.
• You are resting in the war-tent without guarding.
• There the kings are paying tribute those are being diverted to your subjects.
• After the victory of KOLLI hill region you are resting in way.

This is your benevolent view that is called “Elephant View”. Because of this view your name has honored with the title along with the God’s name “SEEI” (Murugan).

• Long Live along with your endowments.
• Your name is well known as MAANTHARANJEERAL IRUMBORAI.
• You are offering me with gifts so as my tongue need not sing others seeking gifts.
• Your country is safe with bliss as Heaven.

Let your army march on other’s territory without rage.
