3200:##
ERaaLum iRaiyOnum* dhisaimuganum thirumagaLum,*
kooRaaLum thaniyudamban* kulangulamaa asurargaLai,*
neeRaagum padiyaaga* nirumiththup padaithotta,*
maaRaaLan kavaraadha* maNimaamai kuRaivilamE.   (2) 4.8.1

I have no use for this lovely body not desired by the Lord with the unique
body with specific places alloted to the esteemed Siva riding the bull,
Brahma (four faced) and Lakshmi (Lotus-dame), who stood steadfast with the
weapons determined to reduce clan after clans of the demons into ashes.
3201:
maNimaamai kuRaivillaa* malarmaadhar uRaimaarvan,*
aNimaanath thadavaraiththOL* adalaazhith thadakkaiyan,*
paNimaanam pizhaiyaamE* adiyEnaip paNikonda,*
maNimaayan kavaraadha* madanNeNYchaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.2

I have no use for (even) my obedient mind which is not desired by the
wondrous Lord of saffire-hue, with His chest adorned by the Lotus-dame
outshining the lustre of gems, with ornamented, broad and rounded
shoulders and the ever victorious discus in His broad hands, who has taken
me, the vassal, into service with unreserved servitude.
3202:
madanNeNYchaal kuRaivillaa* magaLthaay seythorupEychchi,*
vidanNaNYcha mulaisuvaiththa* miguNYaanach chiRukuzhavi,*
padanNaagath thaNaikkidandha* paruvaraiththOL paramburudan,*
nedumaayan kavaraadha* niRaiyinaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.3

I have no use for the decorum (like femininity, modesty, etc.) not desired
by the highly wondrous Lord, the tiny baby of supreme knowledge who
savoured the virulently poisoned teats of the demoness (Putana)
impostering as the mother (Yasoda) who was totally disposed (towards the
baby), the Supreme Being, with mountain-like arms, resting on the bed of
sesa with raised hoods.
3203:
niRaiyinaal kuRaivillaa*  nedumbaNaiththOL madappinnai,*
poRaiyinaal mulaiyaNaivaan*  poruvidai_Ezh adarththugandha,*
kaRaiyinaar thuvarudukkai*  kadaiyaavin kazhikOlkai,*
saRaiyinaar kavaraadha*  thaLirnNiRaththaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.4

What use is my tender (unenjoyed) femininehood (virginity) not desired by
the Lord elated with tinkling bells, stained soiled clothes, bamboo pots
(for collecting milk) and goading rod, who tackled the charging bulls
valorously and enjoyed for the sake of resorting to the breasts of
innocent Nappinnai of broad and rounded arms full of femininity.
3204:
thaLirnNiRaththaal kuRaivillaath*  thanichchiRaiyil viLappuRRa,*
kiLimozhiyaaL kaaraNamaak*  kiLararakkan nagareriththa,*
kaLimalarth thuzhaayangal*  kamazhmudiyan kadalNYaalaththu,*
aLimikkaan kavaraadha*  aRivinaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.5

What use is my awareness not desired by the Lord (Rama), of abundant grace
in this world bounded by oceans, who burnt the prosperous city (Lanka) of
the demons for the sake of Sita of parrot-like sweet words and of
unsurpassed tenderness who shone even in her unique imprisonment, who has
a fragrant crown and who is decorated with honey-soaked flowers and
tulasi.
3205:
aRivinaal kuRaivillaa* agalNYaalaththu avaraRiya,*
neRiyellaam eduththuraiththa* niRaiNYaanath thorumoorththi,*
kuRiyamaaN uruvaagik* kodungOLaal nilangonda,*
kiRiyammaan kavaraadha* kiLaroLiyaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.6

What is the use of my shining radiance not desired by the Lord of
stratagems, who as the pigmy bachelor, took the earth through deceitful
alms and who as the personification of all knowledge, enlightened the
paths of virtue (like karma, jnana and bhakti yogas) for the awareness of
the people of this broad world in order to make them fully knowledgeable.
3206:
kiLaroLiyaal kuRaivillaa*  ariyuruvaayk kiLarnthezhundhu,*
kiLaroLiya iraNiyanathu* agalmaarbam kizhith_thugandha,*
vaLaroLiya kanalaazhi*  valampuriyan maNinNeela,*
vaLaroLiyaan kavaraadha*  varivaLaiyaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.7

I have no consideration for my beautiful bangles not desired by the Lord
radiating lustre like the saffire and posessing the brilliant flaming
discus and the conch, who as narasimha appeared (in the pillar) and came
out to tear open the broad chest of the highly reputed Hiranya, Himself
outshining in brilliance.
3207:
varivaLaiyaal kuRaivillaap*  perumuzhakkaal adangaarai,*
eriyazhalam pugavoodhi* irunNilamun thuyar_thavirththa,*
therivariya sivanbiraman*  amarar kOn paNindhEththum,*
viripugazhaan kavaraadha*  mEgalaiyaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.8

I have no use for my waist belt not desired by the Lord of high praise
prostrated and lauded by the knowledgeable Siva, Brahma and Indra (Lord of
celestials) who, once, ended the misery of the extensive world, scorching
the opponenets by the fire of fear from the thunderous sound of the conch
(pancajanya) with divine markings.
3208:
mEgalaiyaal kuRaivillaa*  melivuRRa agalalkul,*
pOgamagaL pugazhththandhai*  viRalvaaNan puyamthuNiththu,*
naagamisaith thuyilvaanpOl*  ulagellaam naNngodunga,*
yOgaNaivaan kavaraatha*  udambinaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.9

I have no use for my body which is not desired by the Lord, who plans to
bring about the welfare of all the worlds pretending to sleep on Adisesa
and who cut the arms of powerful bAna, the reputed father of the playful
daughter Usa of surpassing splendour (due to waist belt and other
ornaments) and lanky with broad pelvic region.
3209:
udambinaal kuRaivillaa*  uyir_pirintha malaiththundam,*
kidandhanapOl thuNipalavaa*  asurar kuzhaam thuNiththugantha,*
thadampunala sadaimudiyan*  thaniyoru kooRamarnthuRaiyum,*
udambudaiyaan kavaraadha*  uyirinaal kuRaivilamE.	4.8.10

I have no use for my soul which is not desired by the Lord, in one portion
of whose body rests Siva with Ganga (of broad streams) in his crown of
hair, who cut asunder hordes of demons fattened of body, like the various
pieces of mountains lying about with their wings (life) cut (by Indra) and
felt happy.
3210:##
uyirinaal kuRaivillaa*  ulagEzh thannuLLodukki,*
thayirveNNai undaanaith,*  thadangurugoorch chadagOpan,*
seyiril sollisaimaalai*  aayiraththuL ippaththaal*
vayiramsEr piRappaRuththu*  vaigundham naNNuvarE.   (2)	4.8.11

By these 10 pasurams of the "Thousand", the defectless musical garland of
the sayings of CatakOpan of sprawling KurukUr on the Lord who ate curds
and butter, keeping within Himself the seven worlds with countless beings,
one will reach vaikunta cutting the birth cycle which is hard like
diamonds.
