11. KATRUK KARAVAI

katru kaRavai kaNangaL pala kaRandhu
setraar thiRalazhiya chenRu seru cheyyum
kutram onRilaadha kOvalartham poRkodiyE
putru aravu alkul punamayilE pOdharaay
sutraththu thOzhimaar ellaarum vandhu nin
mutram pugundhu mugil vaNNan pEr paada
sitraadhE pEsaadhE selva peNdaatti nee
etrukku uRangum poruLElOr embaavaay
MEANING:
Oh girl, who manages and milks a herd of cows and calves,who destroys the enemies in battle fields, who is born in a flawless sheperd community and glitters like gold, who has a waist like that of a cobra's hood, oh beautiful like peacock, we have come singing the praise of Krishna (who is blue in colour) and arrived at the entrace of your mansion. Oh one who is dear to us why is that despite our chants that you are still asleep?
