Avaiyar's Vinayagar Agaval
The anklets
on the red lotus feet
of the cool baby elephant
sing many songs.
The golden waist chain
and fine skirts
resting upon his rainbow waist
beautifully shining.
His weighty tusk!
His elephant face
& the auspicious orange mark
is easy to perceive.
Five hands,
goad & noose,
his body of deep blue
has made my breast its home.
His hanging mouth,
four sets of shoulders,
three eyes,
and three musk trails...
His two ears,
with golden hair shining,
and three threads intertwined
upon his glowing breast...
He is the true knowledge:
Turiya, the Sleepless Sleep,
goes beyond
the word's meaning.
Wonder
has stood personified
as the Wish-fulfilling Tree!
As the Bull Elephant!
 He who rides the mouse
sniffs out the three fruits.
