You are, sir, a tree that has
grown in size
Like a banyan and in yield
like mangoes,
Providing shade and food to
travelers.
You are the embodiment of Mercy.
You’ve been bold in actions
and decisions.
More by convictions than from
commitments
With King Karikalan^ ruling
your spirit.
You are the embodiment of
Justice,
The Sun warms and the rain
wets things alike.
You address the cases without
bias
And render justice without
colour.
You stand as an emblem for
the Scales.
To give alms to the poor is
compassion;
To console and sooth is of
sympathy;
To share one’s sufferings is
empathy.
You are the epitome of
Empathy.
By humility you don’t lower
yourself.
Instead, you put seekers on
equal foot
And grant their wishes with
their head held high.
You are a model of Humility.
Unlike trees that get tougher
while they grow,
You have grown stronger while
being tender.
Lords around, you remember
Kuselars.*
You are the sign of
Magnanimity.
You have done proud to the
judicery.
You have done proud to the
humanity.
An asset to parents and to
the progeny,
You’re the tower of Nagarathar’s#
pride.
Unlike Lkshmana’s in the
Ramayana,
Your consort, Meenakshi, is
who warms
You in winters and cools in
summers,
You may both live like
Ardhanarishwar.
The post retirement path may
branch and grow!
Merits and virtues may take
you high in glow!
Be your posterity a perennial
flow.
You, peace and bliss like
shadow may follow.
