நனியார் சேயார் நல்லார் தீயார் நாடோரும்

பிணிதான் தீரும் என்று பிறங்கிக் கிடப்பாரும்

மணியே பொன்னே மைந்தா மணாளா என்பார்கட்(கு)

அணியான் ஆதிரை நாளால் அதுவண்ணம்

…… திருநாவுக்கரசு சுவாமிகள்

The visit to this Uraneeshwarar Shiva Temple at Urapakkam was a part of the “Shiva and Vishnu Temples Visit at Urapakkam, Arungal, Kannivakkam, Kumizhi and Melakottaiyur”, on 19^th February 2022.
