Pasuram 6.6.11
Tamil text and transliteration:
கட்டு எழில் சோலை நல் வேங்கடவாணனைக்,
கட்டு எழில் தென் குருகூர்ச் சடகோபன் சொல்,
கட்டு எழில் ஆயிரத்து இப்பத்தும் வல்லவர்,
கட்டு எழில் வானவர் போகம் உண்பாரே.
kaṭṭu eḻil cōlai nal vēṅkaṭavāṇaṉaik,
kaṭṭu eḻil teṉ kurukūrc caṭakōpaṉ col,
kaṭṭu eḻil āyirattu ippattum vallavar,
kaṭṭu eḻil vāṉavar pōkam uṇpārē.
English translation of verse 6.6.11:
Those that are well-versed in these songs ten,
Out of the thousand, metrically excellent, composed by Caṭakōpaṉ
Of Kurukūr with its ramparts lovely, in adoration
Of the Lord at Tiruvēṅkaṭam, with orchards full of fragrance,
Will on a par with Celestials enjoy heavenly bliss par excellence.
Note
The Lord at Tiruvēṅkaṭam is referred to, but once, in this decad, and that too, in the end-song. This is similar to the solitary mention of this Deity, made in the opening song of III-9.
