வங்கத்தால் மாமணி வந்துந்து முந்நீர் மல்லையாய்

        மதிள் கச்சியூராய், பேராய்

கொங்கத்தார் வளங்கொன்றை யலங்கல் மார்வன்

        குலவரையான் மடப்பாவை யிடப்பால் கொண்டான்

பங்கத்தாய் பாற்கடலாய் பாரின் மேலாய் பணி

        வரையினுச் சியாய் பவள வண்ணா

எங்குற்றா யெம்பெருமான் உன்னை நாடி யேழையே

        னிங்ஙணமே யுழிதருகேனே

- திருநெடுந்தாண்டகம் 9 (2060)
