Vyakhyana Saram:
The eastern wind which is the sign of dawn, has captured the beautiful scent of the mullai flowers and is blowing. It is waking up the swans that were sleeping in the lotus flower beds. Can You who came with great speed to destroy the sorrow of the elephant Gajendra and protect it, still be sleeping? You who protect those that surrender to You should wake up now and give us Your grace.
