Thirumaalai----27

I am not as innocent as the playful squirrels that bathed and tumbled in the waves and then rolled on the sand,
And then ran to offer their help to Vannara warriors ,who pushed huge boulders from the hillocks to the sea!
My heart is as hard as the wood of tree trunks and is full of deceit.
With such a vile heart I am unable to serve wholly, Sri Ranga. I am totally helpless!


The verse in Tamil.

kurrangugal malayai nookha khulithu tham puranadi vodi,
tharanga neeradaikallutra salamila anillum pole'n,
marangal pol vallia nenju vanjanein, nenju thannal,
Aranganirku aatseiyadhe alliyathen ayarginrene!
