Mythic episode (example) Once the foe rose like a mound of rot, swallowing rivers— You cast your braid as a rope, the trees took hold, the earth sighed. You split the sky with a howl; the mountains shivered and gave up the lost ones. We tell it again, that your name may tighten our nets and loosen our grief. Refrain (example, sung by chorus) Bharani

Supplication (example) Hear the midwife’s cry, the widow’s thin-lipped plea— Drive the fever from the child, the rust from the cashew grove. If any oath is false within our house, let truth’s flame burn it clean. Bharani

Invocation (example) O Mother of Kodungallur, fierce as lightning, Crown of hair like the night of storms, spear flashing—come! You who trample the demon’s pride beneath your sandals, Open your eye on us; grant our fields fruit, our children health.
