016 Thirukkaḍalmallai

  1. I will not spend even the time it takes to blink thinking of those who do not think of my god who took the form of Mohini and gave to the gods the nectar that came from the milky ocean, cheating the sword-carrying Asurans, the enemies of the gods. He stays in beautiful cool Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded by the large ocean.

  2. Those devotees who think in their hearts and worship the cloud-colored lord of Kaḍalmallaithalasayanam who keeps beautiful Lakshmi on his chest seated on a fresh lotus dripping with dew and at his side the earth goddess are my chiefs and my rulers.

  3. My chiefs and my rulers are the devotees who in their hearts worship the cloud-colored lord, the light of knowledge who took the form of a boar and brought the earth goddess from the underworld, embracing her. The gods in the sky happily come, circle his temple and worship him in Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded by forests.

  4. The devotees are our family gods who worship in their hearts the god of Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam who heroically fought a cruel war, defeated his enemies and left their bodies for animals to eat as the warriors’ bodies that had been loved by their wives were burned.

  5. O my good heart! Praise and love the devotees who do not worship god of the Jains who carry an umbrella and a small peacock feather. Only love and worship our lord of Kachi in Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam.

  6. O ignorant heart, embrace and worship the devotees who circle the temple and worship the god of Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam where ships bring golden treasure, piles of the nine precious jewels, and herds of large elephants and unload them on the sea shore.

  7. O my pure heart! Worship the devotees who keep in their hearts the lord of Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam who was born on the earth as a small baby and who drank the poisonous milk of scheming Putanā when she came as a mother, and fought and conquered his enemy Kamsan.

  8. O my pure heart! Worship the devotees who worship the god in their hearts of Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam where beautiful lotuses in the flourishing water crushed by the farmers plowing with bulls and kazhuneer blossoms that escaped the plows both spread their fragrance on the shore.

  9. O my ignorant heart! Worship the devotees of him who carries a divine discus in his hands and keeps Shiva, dancer on the burning ground on his left side. He rests on Adisesha on the ocean in Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam where the gods in the sky come and worship him happily.

  10. Kaliyan, the warrior with a long spear, the devotee of the devotees who always think of him, composed ten pāsurams on the devotees of the god of Kaḍalmallai Thalasayanam that has long streets where flowers spread their fragrance. If devotees worship his devotees and learn and recite the pāsurams of Thirumangai they will become kings of kings.
