Stanza 3

Tamil Transliteration:

Alikkunj chezhunthamizhth thellamuthaarndhun arutkadalir
Kulikkum padikkendru kuudunkoloa vulangh konduthellith
Thelikkum panuvarr pulavoar kavimazhai sindhdhakkannu
Kalikkung kalaabha mayilae sakala kalaavalliyae!

Translation Poem:

Poets shower a rainbow of poetry crystal clear
Of chosen words and content
On the spring of thoughts flooding their mind!
Hey mother dancing peacock with plumage display!
Ye become serene and ecstatic!
Make me imbibe rich Tamil nectar by your charm
So that i get immersed in thy grace ocean bathing ever after!

Message:

The state of all creatures being wise gives pleasure to Goddess also

Explanation:

Books are the best friends

The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When my Mother sees those books and persons who are scholars, she feels very happy and loves to be associated with such books/people.
