16. Thirupponmoosal “Oh maidens with breasts decked with jewels-let us swing on the golden swing singing on the huge palaces with terrace in Uththarakosamangai where lightning plays, of the Gem Who has neither antecedent, end nor beginning and Who, while a multitude of sages and several hundred crores of heavenly ones were waiting, graciously bestowed on me His sacred ash that I might be established for ever in His flood of grace.”(16:3) “Oh damsels who wear rows of white bracelets | Let us swing on the golden swing, singing of the divine praises of Him Who holds poison in His throat, of the Lord of the heavenly ones, Who with the Dame of sweet words abiding in Uththarakosamangai of cloud-capped and gem-decked mansions, taking abode in the heart of the daevotees and secreting Ambrosia, cuts off graciously our bonds of death and birth.”(16:4) “Oh damsels of beautiful breasts decked with jewels! Let us swing on the golden swing singing of the qualities of the Dancer of Uththarakosamangai Who bears the crescent moon on His head and of Him Who is unknown to the Two whether He is male, neuter or female and Who ate poison in His grace so that the multitude of devaas may be redeemed from being disgraced. (16:5) 497
