Part I - Pugar
The Praises and Good wishes
(In the city of Pugar, Kovalan, the son of Masathuvan
was married to Kannagi, the daughter of Manayakan.
Her friends sang in praise of this marriage function.)
1. Let us Praise
The moon has all our praises,
When up on the sky it raises
For it spreads cool light
That makes this world so bright.
For his ample generosity
Also his everlasting glory
And his garland of victory
We praise Cholan, that's why?
To the ever moving sun
Around the Meru mountain
By the side of the Cauvery river,
Let us praise it and revere.
As the most charitable King Cholan,
We receive our life-saving rain,
That moves majestically o'er the ocean.
Our praises go to it again and again.
In this world, encircled by copious water
The King Cholan's tribe became so greater
It brought, in turn, fame to the Pugar Town,
Let us give all our praises to this town.
2. The importance of Pugar
It may be any other mountain,
Or even the Himalayas Mountain
To resettle anytime was never known
To the ancient tribes, not even one.
Pugar had its own importance,
For great many souls' existence,
In fact, it knew no fear ever
But was known for its power.
The great men of perfect knowledge,
They praised this town in every age,
They never spoke of anytime defeat.
This way its fame rose to its height.
It was like the famous Naga town,
And its name wide spread shone.
It was so popular of that time,
And was free from any crime.
