Vedanta Desika's
Mummanikkovai
The God of Love will shower a rain of flower-tipped
arrows from his charming bow
of sugar-cane
at that tender girl who longs for the soft feet
of the God of Truth:
Mercy gushes
from his side-long glances.
He stands here, a sea of sweet nectar,
saying to those who long
to plunge into him: "Come, dive deep!"
He has come to Tiruvahindrapuram,
where those who speak speak
only the essence
of the three
Vedas.
