Meaning

A dawn breeze from the east comes brushing the plump jasmine flowers on their thriving vines, and swans asleep on their flower-beds stand up, shaking the night's dew from their dark wings. Remembering how the Lord once ended the agony of the elephant caught in the cave-like, white-toothed jaws of a crocodile, the poet begs that same rescuer, the Lord of Srirangam, to rise from sleep.
