O Son of Kusika, with your blessings
I am going to break Siva’s bow
I bow at the lotus feet of the Lord of the three
worlds and the king of gods
to remove any obstacles in my path;
I consider this a great fortune.
My mother, O Goddess, have mercy on me
O lotus-eyed and with neck like a conch
I am going to break the Thraiyambakam
with blessings of the Lord of the three worlds
