Tiruvarunaik Kalampakam 3.50

3.50

Kuṟam — fourteen-foot āciriyaviruttam.
O women, come and hear as we pronounce the one and the three!
Because the paddy grains in the winnowing fan have turned out to be an odd number,
a certain one appeared with a fawn, a deer, and a battle-axe;
he has a black neck and carries a kapāla in his hand.
If you go and seek him, he can be seen atop Aruṇai; his name is Tēvarāyar;
other than him, we have seen no other god.
He will dispel the distress of the longing of this woman who stands and languishes;
therefore, take sacred ash and draw three lines upon her forehead!
