The wonder of the incarnation to save the world

Starting from Mahishi who was troubling the three worlds,
To several Asuras were exterminated by him .

The Lord with three eyes , impassioned by the beauty,
Of the Mohini form of the flower like Krishna joined her,
And Manikandan was born as the lord of the three worlds
Along with a name of the great Sastha also.
