In plain words
On the Malaya hill he abided as Agastya worshipped him. On northern Kailāsa he sat in his seat as the immortals bowed. He is the Father whose bow is long Meru, he of holy Ēkampam with its walls of fresh gold. He is the precious jewel of Tiruvaiyāṟu, which the broad Ponni surrounds with its shining waters and waves.
