Vishnu Chittan eagerly waiting to see Kannan walk with small steps.

86. Similar to an elephant with ichor oozing from its 3 temples {mum matha punal sOra}, that walks slowly, making "salAr-pilAr”, sounds from the leg chain and the ringing of the still golden bells hanging on it’s body, Will not my child with the ShArnga bow (sArngapANi), His  kingkiNI anklets ringing like a drum begin to walk with small steps? Will he not toddle? (1)

87. The smile from the pearl white teeth within the reddish lips of Kannan resembles the crescent moon that appears in the reddish sky. He wears a conch chain{akku vaDam} around His waist and a neck amulet chain with a tortoise talisman{Amai tAli}. Won't this blue hued son of Vasudevan who rests on Adisheshan begin to toddle? (2)

88. Kannan wearing a braided string with a peepal leaf shaped amulet (arasu ilai) and a golden hued dress around his waist, shines like the moon lit sky with its radiance and a lightening streak.  The ornament named “kArai” worn around the neck looks similar to the lightning that appears amidst the dark clouds.  Won’t this Rishikeshan, resplendent by himself who captivates everyone toddle for me? (3)

89: kannalkudam thiRandhaaloththooRik* kaNakaNa siriththu vandhu*

thanneRRu maaRRalar thalaikaLmeethE* thaLar n^adai n^adavaanO. 4. 

89. Kannan with his drooling mouth stands before me and kisses as he laughs with a “gaṇa, gaṇa,” sound that is similar to the pouring  of the sugarcane juice through a hole from the pot. My dark cloud hued boy who has Mahalakshmi on His chest weakens me with his nectar like kiss. Won’t he toddle over his enemies’ head? (4)

90. The sight of little Kannan running behind his famed elder brother Baladeva who is ever praised by great people in the whole world is like a black mountain running behind a big silver mountain . Won’t this Kannan toddle for me? (5)

91. The ocean hued Kannan, father of Kama, having the mark of shankh on one foot and chakra on the other walks hither thither making foot-prints of it.  Won’t He give me immense joy again and again by toddling? (6)

thadandhaaLinai koNdu saarNGgapaaNi* thaLar n^adai n^adavaanO. 7.

92. Similar to the dripping of the cool droplets of nectar from a full bloomed Lotus, drools from Kannan’s reddish mouth slowly drips down. The “gana gana” sound of the bells around His waist sounds like the bells tied around the neck of a violent bull. Won’t this “SarngapAni” (one who carries the Sarngam bow in his hand) with his matchless feet toddle for me? (7)

93: pakkam karuNYjiRuppaaRaimeethE* aruvikaL pakarndhanaiya*

93.Like a bright water cascade on a black mountain slope, Kannan’s waist chain made of shells hangs bobbing around, as he walks with his hip swaying side to side. Won’t this blue hued gem of a child VAsudeva toddle for me? (8)

thaNpOdhu koNda thavisin meethE* thaLar n^adai n^adavaanO. 9.

94. This same Thiruvikraman who is the KaNNan, looks like the dark elephant calf smeared with white dust all over as he plays throwing dust and sand on him. These dust gets mixed up with his sweat and sparkles. Won’t He with His soft fresh Lotus like feet tread on cool flowerbed without hurting His feet and toddle for me? (9)

95: thirai n^eerch chandhira maNdalampOl* seNGgaNmaal kEsavan* than- 

thiru n^eermuhaththuth thulaNGgu sutti* thikazhndheNGgum pudaipeyara*

95. Similar to the full moon that ripples on the ocean water, the ‘Chutti’ on the beautiful reddish eyed Kesavan’s forehead sways either side. The little droplets that fall after he eases himself is more precious than the waters of the mighty Ganga . With that won’t he toddle for me? (10)

96. This collyrium hued KaNNan born in the cowherd clan ( Ayar kulam ) toddled making the mother happy and at the same time giving fright to the enemies. The renowned poet of the vediyar clan ( Veyar kulam ) Vishnuchithan has written ten verses about His toddle. Those who recite it will be blessed with children who will be interested in serving the feet of Lord MAyan Manivannan . (11)
