Tiruvarurp Pallu 1.3

1.3

The God Murukaṉ
Above Vītiviṭaṅkap Perumāḷ, famed as the desirable Lord of the Dark Throat,
the Lord who desired the poison of the rolling ocean as if it were ambrosia,
the Lord Tēvarakaṇṭap Perumāḷ, the Lord whose throat spread with stain—
in order to sing in proper tune the paḷḷēcal that pleases [him],
Vaṭivēlaṉ, who guards the golden city of the celestials
upon his horse called the peacock of water-colored, golden plumage,
the noble lover who, eagerly taking fresh foliage in his hand, [courted] the maid of the hunters,
the golden feet of the six-faced one I shall utter with my tongue.
