விண்ணார்திங்கட் கண்ணிவெள்ளை மர்லை யதுசூடித்

தண்ணாரக்கோ டாமைபூண்டு தழைபுன் சடைதாழ
எண்ணாவந்தெ னில்புகுந்தங் கெவ்வ நோய்செய்தான்

கண்ணார்சோலைக் கானூர்மேய விண்ணோர் பெருமானே.

நீரும் பாரும் நெருப்பும் அருக்கனும்

காரும் மாருதங் கானூர் முளைத்தவன்
சேர்வு மொன்றறி யாது திசைதிசை

ஓர்வு மென்றில ரோடித் திரிவரே.
