Meaning
The closing verse tells how the moon-faced, finely adorned girls went to Madhava, to Kesava who churned the ship-laden ocean, worshipped him, and won the drum there. This story was sung by Kodhai of lovely Puduvai, daughter of Pattarpiran, garlanded with cool fresh lotuses, as a garland of thirty Tamil verses. Whoever recites all thirty without fail will receive, everywhere, the grace of Tirumal, with his red eyes, beautiful face, and four mountain-strong shoulders, and will live in joy.
