In plain words
They say, "You are two bodies, with the lady who dwells at your left." They say, "You danced, and in the dead of night you practised it." They say, "You wear the tiger's skin with bones," and "You followed the life of wandering for alms." They say, "You became the formless and the formed," and "You are Viṣṇu, in whom Śrī dwells, together with the four-faced one." They say, "He is," and "He is not"; "He never relents," and "He relents"; "The First," and "He of the Aśoka tree"; and "The ancient one who shone beneath the Bodhi." With these and more, by such measure as they themselves know, men grow bewildered among the many established books and quarrel. Looking upon their nature, you became, for each one so afflicted, the very thing that each one holds. O you who possess the great city of Oṟṟi, your form is like a crystal that wholly takes on whatever it holds.

With the lady who dwells on the left, two bodies, saying, and You danced; in the dead of night you practised it, saying, and You who wear the tiger's skin with bones, saying, and You who followed the life of wandering for alms, saying, and You became the formless and the formed, saying, and Māl in whom Tiru dwells, with the four-faced one, saying, and He is indeed, saying, and He is not indeed, saying, and He does not relent, saying, and He relents, saying, and The First, saying, and He of the Aśoka, saying, and The ancient one who shone beneath the Bodhi, saying, and with these first, by the measure they themselves know, bewildered in the multiplicity of established books, looking at the nature of the quarrelling men, to each of those so afflicted becoming each of those things, wholly taking on, like a crystal, O you who possess the great city of Oṟṟi, is your form indeed.
