I surrender to the Lord of Bhoothas, who is above thought,
Who frees you from three types of sufferings, sin and calamities,
Who grants you the state of permanent joy,
Who is divine, who meditates and is the son of Pandya king.

Garishta mashta pada vethram aashraye. 9

I surrender to the heavy cane bearing God,
Who is greatest and the Lord of Sabari mountain,
Who is occupies the most desired position,
Who is the most liked God , and
Calms down Asuras and effect of badly positioned bad planets.

Saroja sankhadhi gadhaa virajitham,
Karambhujaaneka maho jwalayudham,
Sirastha malyam Shikhi pincha sekharam,
Purasthitham Bhoothapathim Samasraye. 10

I surrender to him who is in a town and a lord of Bhoothas,
Who shines along with the lotus , conch and the mace,
Who has several shining weapons in his lotus like hands,
And who wears a garland and peacock feather in his head.
