This item
is supposed to be for my arangetram, but this still soooo raw. It took me a
while to find a teacher who could give me more or less a translation from Tamil
and not just a general idea and then stalk her for several weeks with notebook
and pen ready to write. With tamil it’s a problem in Kerala, even though it is a
similar language to Malayalm. But the item is a beautiful piece of a girl infatuated by
Murugan, a heroic and bold son of Siva. She is a devotee, at the same time she
is attracted to him like a woman to a man, blushing with every memory of the kisses he
shaded on her.

Ah Look at
his body, my dear friends!
Six faces
are radiating smiles

hands – what a wonder!
Veera
(heroism) is overfilling his body
He is
looking with his eyes sharp like a weapon
Veera is overfilling
his body
He is
looking with his fish-shaped eyes
I have
never witnessed such a beauty!
To those
meditating on him he gives blessings,
Oh this man
full of bliss…
