வானர சேனையின் தலைவனாம் அவன்
வானோர்க்கெல்லாம் பிரியனாம்
வந்தவர்கெல்லாம் அருள்வானாம்
வடைமாலைக்கு அவன் மகிழ்வானாம்        ( வா )

வெண்ணையும் தேனும் அபிஷேகம்
சென்றோர்க்கெல்லாம் அங்கு ஆனந்தம்
செந்தூரமே நமக்கு அங்கு பிரசாதம்          ( வா )

வெற்றிலை மாலையும் கேட்பானாம்
வெற்றியும் அருளும் கொடுப்பானாம்
வேண்டிய வரம் நமக்கு அளிப்பானாம்
வேண்டியபோது வந்து களிப்பானாம்          ( வா )

வருக வருக என்று அழைத்தாலே அவன்
வந்து நிற்பான் நம் முன்னாலே              ( வா )

காகசுரம் என்னும் பட்டினமாம் அங்கு
காகாசுரனை வென்றனராம் இன்று
காக்களூர் என்ற பெயரிலே வந்து
நமக்கு அருள் அவன் தந்தனனே             ( வா )

அத்திரி முனிவரும் வந்தனரே அங்கு
அற்புதங்கள் பல கண்டனரே
அகஸ்திய முனிவரும் வந்தனரே அவன்
அழகைக் கண்டு மகிழ்ந்தனரே               ( வா )

நாமும் அவன் அடிபணிவோமே அவன்
சக்தியை என்றும் பெறுவோமே              ( வா )
