Chattam chattam nallathu nallathu metha metha sandhosham.

English translation

Pallavi
Oh Nanda, who ever gave you this thought

Anupallavi
Forgetting that you had a mind of your own,
Why these strange thoughts ,for this is not wisdom

Charanam
You would talk showing your teeth like the homestead jackal,
I would become angry s and then how you a stone and berate you,
All that you told about Chidambaram , have they vanished,
Has the words of Brahmin not to learn has become true,
Has your mind become clear, has the shouting subsided,
Law and law is good , This is indeed a very happy news.
