TIRUMANGAI AZHVAR VAZHI TIRUNAMAM

கலந்ததிருக் கார்த்திகையில் கார்த்திகை வந்தோன் வாழியே.

காசினியில் குறையலூர்க் காவலோன் வாழியே.

நலந்திகழாயிரத்தெண்பத்து நாலுரைத்தான் வாழியே.

நாலைந்துமாறைந்தும் நமக்குரைத்தான் வாழியே.

இலங்கெழுகூற்றிருக்கையிருமடலீந்தான் வாழியே.

இம்மூன்றில் இருநூற்றிருபத்தேழீந்தான் வாழியே.

வலந்திகழுங்குமுதவல்லி மணவாளன் வாழியே.

வாட்கலியன் பரகாலன் மங்கையர்கோன் வாழியே.
