Meaning
We bear the seal of His house, the mark of the holy discus, red and radiant, shining brighter than fire, and so marked, we serve Him family after family. Bana fought with an army of sorcery, and the Lord whirled His discus until the blood poured from all his thousand arms. To Him, master of the discus, we sing pallandu.
