துணைத்தா மரையடி யும்பவ ளத்திரள் நன்குறங்கும்பணைத்தோள் அகலமுங் கண்டத்து நீலமும் அண்டத்துமின்பிணைத்தா லனசடை யுந்திரு முக்கணும் பெண்ணொர்பக்கத்தணைத்தார் எழிற்கம்பர் எங்கள் பிரானார்க் கழகியவே.

In plain words

His twin lotus feet, his good thighs like clustered coral, his broad chest with shoulders like bamboo, the blue in his throat, his matted hair like the lightning of the sky bound together, his three holy eyes: these are the beauties of beautiful Kampar, our Lord, who embraced a woman at his one side.

Line by line

The twin lotus feet, and the good thighs like clustered coral, and the broad chest with bamboo-like shoulders, and the blue in the throat, the lightning of the sky as if bound together, the matted hair, and the holy three eyes; a woman on one side he embraced; to beautiful Kampar, our Lord, these are beautiful indeed.
