இன்மொழியைக் காக்க எழுவோம் (ஒருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா)

தென்னவரைத் தாழ்த்தியுரை மன்னவரின் சென்னிதனில்

மன்னுபுகழ் மேருமலைக் கல்வைத்தான் - அன்னவனின்

பின்னவர்கள் நாமென்று பேச்சளவில் நில்லாமல்

இன்மொழியைக் காக்கஎழு வோம்

செழிப்பாகும் உலகே

மழைபெய்து பயிர்கள்

தழைத்தோங்கின் உழவர்

உழைப்பார்கள் உவந்தே

செழிப்பாகும் உலகே

தேனைப்பாய்ச்சும் செம்மொழி (வஞ்சிவிருத்தம்)

அன்றும் இன்றும் கன்னியாய்

வென்று நிற்கும் செந்தமிழ்

இன்பத் தேனைக் காதினில்

என்றும் பாய்ச்சும் செம்மொழி

என்னவள்

மான்போன்ற விழியினள்

தேன்போன்ற மொழியினள்

ஈன்றாள்போல் இனியவள்

நான்தேடு கனியவள்

தமிழைத் தழைக்கச் செய்வது கடனே (வஞ்சிவிருத்தம்)

தமிழ்மொழி தரணியின் தலைமொழியாம்

அமிழ்தினை அனையநல் அருமொழியாம்

நமதிரு விழிநிகர் நலமொழியாம்

தமிழினைத் தழைத்திடச் செயல்கடனே

தானாய் மலரும் பலநலங்கள் (வஞ்சிவிருத்தம்)

தேனாய் இனிக்கும் தமிழ்மொழியை

ஊனாய் உயிராய் மதித்தொழுகின்

வானாய் உயரும் வழிபிறக்கும்

தானாய் மலரும் பலநலங்கள்

331. A Song Written By Uraiyoor Mudhu Kooththanaar

Our leader has small villages where there are wells built out of bricks and people who have hunting as their profession. Though he is poor now , he has the ability to bring the things which are needed fast in the evening like the shepherd who makes fire by cherning the fire making stick. He will sit under the big pandhal and give things according to their standards like the homemaker serves food knowing the capacity of the people. When he is rich he will serve food in large quantity.

332. A Song Written By Viriyoor Nakkannanaar

The vel of the brave man of this village is not the vels of others. It has unique greatness. Some times it will be inserted in the roof of the hut with dust.

It will attack the face of the enemy's elephant without fail.

The small rabbit which has bubbles like eyes and black mane will jump and play in the small bushes. In those villages , though the people are poor so that they cannot hospitalize saying 'eat'. You stay there and then go. Oh scholars! If you stay there , the homemaker will not allow you to go with empty stomach though the varahu and thinai have run out by giving them to the beggars to eat. Though she cannot borrow from her neighbour, she will dig the thinai which is kept for sowing in the mortor , cook it and make you eat. Though the kings come with their warriors to their home, they will also eat this food. The gifts given by the king are the things got by winning the enemies.

There are no flowers better than kuravan, thavalam, kurundham and mullai. There are no foods better than varahu, thinai, kol and sebra beans .
