Thirumangai Aazhwar's hymn in praise of deity at Thiruninravur.

The following hymn is from Periya thirumozhi of Thirumangai Azhwar.

Yerrinai immayathullem meesanai immaiyai marumaikku marundinai,

Aatralai andhap puraatuinthidum aiyanai kai ilaazhi ondruyendia,

kootrinai kurumamani kundrinai nindravoor.....................1642.

One who is indomitable like a bull,

Who has risen from the Himalaya's !

And who is capable of providing the medicine to cure all sickness and sorrow besseting this worldly life ,

And who is personification of skill and ability and is the facilitator of his devotees journey to Vaikuntam,

And is like Yama to his enemies,

Has risen to bless us all in a beautiful blue sapphire like form with the formidable disc in his hand at Thiruninravur!
