After  getting up from bed

 

Potthi yen vaazh mudal aagiya porule,
Pularndathu poongazharkku inai thunai malar kondu,
Yetthi nin thirumugathu yemakkarul malarum,
Ezhil nagai kondu nin thiruvadi thozhuthom,

Yethuyar kodiyudayai , yenai udayay,
Yem perman palli ezhundarulaaye. 1

Salutations to you , who is the first meaning of my life,
The new day has broken and please grant me your smile ,
As a sign of your grace , when I salute and offer flowers at your holy feet,
Oh God presiding over Thiruperumthurai,
Which is surrounded ponds, full of open lotus flowers,
And where your flag of the bulls flies very high,
For my sake Oh God be pleased to wake up.

 

Before  breakfast

 

Unakku  pani n seyya unthanai

And  daily think about you

Oh pure one of Madhurai who removes mental worries

Oh Chokka nadha who makes any world

Pathiri  puliyur chezhu neer

Punar  gangai chenchadai mel  vaitha thee vannane

 

Oh holy one  Even if I am born as  worm,

You should  give a boon,

That your feet should  be forever in my mind

To all people  who salute you in this world

Be merciful and  be always there here,

Oh God of colour of fire who keeps on his red head

The  great liver  of  holy  ganges

 

In the evening

Even if I am not stable or I become weak , even if,

My sickness  continues ,I would salute  your feet and get up

Oh God of Vedas who swallowed the poison that came,

With nectar  from the ocean and kept it in your throat,

Please  rule over me and if there is nothing for you to give me

That  is your  sweet will, Oh God of Avadu thurai

Oh  Dancer, Oh God with  ear  with stud

To this poor one , except you there is no relation

Is it wrong for you to pardon  one mistake

Oh red gold of  Thiruvarur  surrounded  by humming bees

Oh Just  one  who is in Thiruvadu thurai,

Please tell me  not to get scared,

Oh king of devas who is relation to me

 

Before  going to bed
