16. Thirupponnoosal “With our hearts melting and our bodies thrilling let us swing on the golden swing, singing to our hearts’ content of Him Who, coming down from the top of the lovely mountain to earth, eating heartily the food (of the devoted old woman in Madurai,) of Him Who rode the deep seas (to redeem Parvathi born as a fisherman's dauthter), of Him Who for the well-being of the world came, riding upon a charger (in Madurai) and enslaved us making us His own and of Him of the holy Uththarakosamangai, Who was rare to Maal.”(16:8) “Oh damsels with bobbing breasts adorned with dazzling jewels | Let us swing on the golden swing praising the qualities of Him of braided locks decked with the fragrant flowers of Kondrai, of Him Who along with the Dame dwelling on His side came graciously and accepted our services that the unique Form of Effulgence residing in Uththarakosamangai surrounded by cocoanut palms may cut off our chain of births and make even persons of our sort His own.”(16:9) T EDT
