		"I am a servitor of the servitors
		Of Paramanaiye Paatuvaar"
		
					- The Tiru-th-Tonda-th-Tokai.

1. 	We hail the glory of the psalmodists who sing
	Only the Supreme One--the Destroyer of the triple citadels,
	The Wearer of snakes as jewels, the peerless Ens
	That manifests when wisdom ripens into Gnosis,
	The Lord-Author of all the worlds and the Omniscient One
	Who is not to be perceived by sense or sense-organs.			(4166)



2. 	In whatsoever language they have mastery--
	Be it southern Tamil or northern Sanskrit
	Or any other tongue of the foreign region--,
	With inly, melting devotion and integrated 
	And true consciousness, they sing, and the object
	Of their hymns is the Lord-Patron who dances
	In the Ambalam--the supreme Lord unknown
	To the Vishnu Boar and the Brahma Swan.					(4167)
