Meaning
Fragrant lotuses have opened, the sun has risen as if sprouting from the roaring sea, and slender-waisted women, wringing and shaking out their curly hair after bathing, climb from the water in fresh clothes around river-encircled Srirangam. Then the poet names himself: Thondaradippodi, the servant standing here, his shoulders bright with a basket and matched garlands of tulasi. He begs the Lord to rise, look on him as one worthy of kindness, and place him in the service of the Lord's own devotees.
