In plain words
Āṇṭāḷ, to the women around her: The Lord of Tiruvaraṅgam, consort of Śrī, ringed by strong, firm walls, once, bound by desire for a woman's form [Sītā], went without food and without sleep and cut a way through the roaring sea [with a causeway]. He forgets all the madness he went through then, and thinks only of his own greatness.
