Transliteration
girayo hi nigīrṇatvādayanāttu śiloccayāḥ / tata stāvāsamuddhṛtya kṣitimaṃtarjalātprabhuḥ
Translation
விழுங்கப்பட்டதனால் அவை ‘கிரி’ என்றும், கற்களின் உயர்ந்த குவியலாக இருப்பதால் ‘சிலோச்சய’ என்றும் அழைக்கப்பட்டன. பின்னர் பிரபு அவற்றை உயர்த்தி, நீரின் உள்ளிருந்து பூமியை வெளிக்கொணர்ந்தார்.
