The poet hails the king as he has enormous
strength of Four-Gods of Tamil mythology.
- As the Death God Shiva having bull-drive, spreading hair in red as fire, three-head spear to destroy the wicked and alveolar with poison the king has rage of destroying power.
- As the God Pala-Rama having conch-like white complexion, plow-weapon in hand and Palmyra tree sign flag, the king has enormous strength.
- As the God Vishnu having complexion as blue-diamond and kite-sign flag the king has foe-destroying power the king has fame of power.
- As the God Muruga having peacock-sign flag and peacock-drive the king has will power of doing what as per his decision.
“Having all of these four qualities”, you, the
king! “You can do anything as like”.
- Then bestow all things to vagrants.
- You chip wine that the girls feed in Yavana’s cup and enjoy.
You, sword-hero, Mara!
- Hail you live long as son with light and the moon in west direction growing!
