வண்டு அலம்பும் சோலை வழுதி வள நாடன்,
பண் தலையில் சொன்ன தமிழ் ஆயிரத்து இப் பத்தும் வலார்,
விண் தலையில் வீற்றிருந்து ஆள்வர் எம் மா வீடே.

paṇ talaiyil coṉṉa tamiḻ āyirattu ip pattum valār,
viṇ talaiyil vīṟṟiruntu āḷvar em mā vīṭē.
English translation of verse 2.8.11:
Those that learn these songs ten
Out of the thousand composed in choice tunes,
By (Caṭakōpaṉ), Chief of Vaḻutināṭu, abounding in fertile orchards,
Where go gay honey bees in their swarms,
Adoring the black-hued, large lotus-eyed Lord,
Will in high Heaven flourish and partake of bliss supreme.
Note
The chanters of this decad will shoot up from the harrowing depths of worldly existence to an exalted position in heaven, keeping at their beck and call, the denizens over there.
