Commentary

The meykkīrtti portion (line 1: kaṭal cūḻnta etc.) is split cīr- and aṭi-wise in the Tamil edition (following the parsing in Cuppiramaṇiyam 1983) and word-wise in the transliteration.

The line (aṭi) 3 of the meykkīrtti (nāṟkaṭal cūḻ puvi-y ēḻum pāṟ-kaṭal pōṟ-pukaḻ parappa) has one more word (pōṟ) than in Cuppiramaṇiyam 1983.
