girdle

Hallelujha Thirivasagham Saint Manickvasaghar

Greetings to you such a God so rare, for all the worlds to have. Salutations to the God who wears a black snake as his girdle around his waist Salutations to you, the first one who presides over the sages who are so rare Greetings to you the soldier who has killed our fears. Greetings to you who would daily push us along and made us your own Salutations to you who would grant to those who reach your feet, the most delicious drink and food of the Gods. Greetings to you who would bend and dance in thick darkness. Greetings to you who is the lover of the Lady with bamboo-like shoulders. Hail to you our king who is nothing to those who are the enemies to you. Hail to You who is the treasure-house of help to the men in need who love you most.
