After being a young boy, you grew up into order
..As an adolescent youth, our Guruprasath, dear!
To live with discipline, I greet you with pleasure;
..You live with excellence in abundance! 1
You have reached the age of eighteen, my grandson;
..By reading your lessons everyday - with pleasure
If you continue to learn, the proficiency shall appear
..Before your eyes; the happiness will catch you for ever! 2
Drawing with hand practice; elegant Tamil excels
..With tongue practice; Books are many for you; - all of these,
Make these so sweet; Pleasant are these for you;
..Rise to the top as an excellent person anew! 3
