Brothers, well, what you befittingly said –
thinking about those words – gives me immense happiness (sarcastic)
 
(Followed by normal culmination, circular culmination and Enclosed Culmination)
 
After having implored the Base of the Worlds, the Lord of Creation and the boons obtained from him by you –
Alas, the ones learning about it would feel supercilious
 
(Followed by normal culmination, circular culmination and Enclosed Culmination)
 
What else could be more interesting! This is the act of destiny, so I think
 
(Followed by normal culmination and another one called “Thonkaram” (We will call it Extended Culmination – the title is repeated)
Followed by normal culmination, circular culmination and Enclosed Culmination)
 
To conquer the entire 14 worlds, I am more than enough. 
Still what with those not of any use except that the able ones would condemn it?
 
(Followed by normal culmination and another one called “Thonkaram” (We will call it Extended Culmination – the title is repeated))
 
(The tempo of music is enhanced and to chempata cycle of 8 beats)
 
Adequate is the strength of my arms for this world, no need of another person, so do I think
 
Followed by normal culmination and another one called “Thonkaram” (We will call it Extended Culmination – the title is repeated))
