Thirumazhisai Alwar (thiruchchandha viruththam) - 791:

You protected the elephant Gajendra from the crocodile.
You killed the elephant Kuvalayabeeḍam.
You were raised as a cowherd child and you grazed the cows
and protected them from the rain with Govardhana mountain.
You fought with the seven bulls to marry Nappinnai.
What is all this magic?

Thirupaavai:

Meaning:
“What is this, Pretty Parrot! Are you still sleeping?”
“Do not use icy words, Sisters, I am coming.”
“You are the harsh tongued one, we have known you long enough.”
“Oh, your words are stronger still, just leave me alone!”
“Why this aloofness, come join us quickly.”
“Has everyone come?”
“Everyone has come, count for yourself!”
“Let us all join in chorus and sing of the lord who killed the strong elephant
Kuvalayāpīŧa in rut, and the demon king Kamsa.”
