to drink and sip the honey, that Suruli Hill is our hill!
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
The clan Goddess Valli came from is our clan,
and we live on the strength her husband gives us!
The clan Goddess Valli came from is our clan,
and we live on the strength her husband gives us!
When Lord Shiva drank the deadly poison,
it was the power of Mother Kali, the trident-bearing Goddess, that saved him!
