Sandals which had trod

the wilderness

were placed

against the brows

of the Lord--

Water poured from the hunter's mouth

became

the divine bath

for Puraipu--

Remnants

of partly eaten meat

he gave Sambu

as offerings of fresh food--

Deep devotion

what indeed will it not do?

the hunter became

best of devotees.

-- Sankaracharya praise of Kanappan's love
