வணக்கம் தலைநின் திருவடிக் கேசெய்யும் மையல்கொண்டோர்இணக்கன்றி மற்றோர் இணக்கறி வோமல்லம் வல்லரவின்குணக்குன்ற வில்லி குளிர்கச்சி ஏகம்பம் பாடினல்லால்கணக்கன்று மற்றொரு தேவரைப் பாடும் கவிநலமே.
In plain words
Those who are seized with a longing to bow their heads to your holy feet: apart from their fellowship, we know no other. The archer's bow is a mountain strung with the mighty serpent. Unless a poem sings his cool Ēkampam in Kanchi, the beauty of a poem that sings some other god is of no account.
Line by line
Those who have the passion of making the bow of the head to your holy feet indeed: apart from fellowship with them, another fellowship we do not know; of the strong serpent the bowstring, the mountain's archer: cool Kanchi Ēkampam unless it sings, of no account is the excellence of poetry that sings another god.
