“உருவான புலஸ்தியரின் மார்க்கம் கேளு
uruvaana Pulasthiyarin maarkkam kelu
ஓகோகோ நாதர்கள் அறிந்ததில்லை
ohoho naatharkal arinthathillai
கருவான தேவரிஷி தன் வரத்தால்
karuvaana devarishi than varaththaal
கமலமுனி தன் வயிற்றில் பிறந்த பேரன்
kamalamuni than vayitril pirantha peran
திருவான அகத்தியருக் உகந்த சீடன்
thiruvaana agaththiyaruk ugantha seedan
தீர்க்கமுள்ள சிவராஜ புனித யோகன்
theerkamulla sivaraaga punitha yogan
பருவான திருமந்திர உபதேசந்தான்
paruvaana thirumanthira ubathesanthaan
பாருலகில் புலஸ்தியர் என்றறைய லாமே"
paarulagil Pulsthiyar enraraiya laame.”
