Tiruvarunaik Kalampakam 3.9

3.9

A verse of six-foot long-meter teacher-verse [aṟucīrkkaḻineṭil āciriyaviruttam].
They spoke to make the fire set upon their monastery by the unyielding Jains
enter the body of the king of Madurai;
they thought to dispel the rut of the fierce elephant in must,
its temples broad, eating mouthfuls, its forehead adorned with gold plate;
they were foremost, uttering sweet, honeyed poems,
to make the dreadful crocodile dwelling in the forest yield back a boy;
sinless, skilled in gestures, matchless, immaculate—
such are the servants of our Lord of Aruṇagiri.
