Spgm 075 - The Streets Burned

The grains bazaar, chariots streets, The four different castes' streets, The fire didn't touch pious But burnt the evil places. ANIMALS RAN AWAY Milking cows and their calves, They ran away to safe places. The elephants and horses Ran away to save their lives. YOUNG LOVERS The young beautiful girls, With their lovely pairs, They were lying flat In a lust drunken state. MOTHER AND CHILDREN Young mothers with their children, They woke up from bed and ran, Towards the old women, For their safety and protection. OLD WOMEN The old women were happy. They praised, "She's a lady Who with her anklet won The erred king Pandian." "With her breast, she did this war. Is it really cruel? No, never. We praise Fire God in our prayer. We're grateful to him forever." THE DANCING GIRL'S SADNESS The dancing girls ran far away Throwing their possessions away. They were all afraid of her, As the lady, who caused the fire. THE DESERTED EVENING No evening celebrations, No evening Vedas recitations, No evening usual prayers, No evening sporting players. No evening gate lights. No evening jolly sights. No evening drums. Madurai became calm. THE GODDESS OF MADURAI Kannagi was breathing hot. Her husband having lost. She roamed in the streets. She would thus run or halt. The Goddess of Madurai, She appeared before Kannagi Having been exposed to fire That spread widely everywhere. THE THREE-IN-ONE The Wealth Goddess, The Education Goddess, The Power Goddess All in one Kannagi was. So, the Goddess of Madurai, She stood before Kannagi, Bound by the latter's chastity, And her inborn piety.
