English translation

 

Pallavi

This is the lake of the lotus flowers of wisdom,

From that the honey of pure Tamil is ebbing out.

 

Charanam

1.This is not the river made out or rain of poems,

And the pretty birds of Tamil are roaming and singing.

 

2. The beauty of its poems are in the garden of its epics,

The imagination of its poets has got a great taste,

It is the breeze of Tamil that adds joy to the soul,

And see that it is pouring nectar  near it.
