Meaning in English

Praise be to Your feet, O Lord,
who once measured this whole world!
Praise be to Your valor that destroyed the southern Lanka!

Praise to You who shattered the evil cart,
who kicked and destroyed the demons as a playful child,
who lifted the Govardhana mountain as an umbrella,
and who wields the victorious spear to protect the world.

O glorious Lord, we have come today to sing Your praises
and receive the divine drum (Parai) as Your blessing —
O Paavai, bless us with grace!
