......... Meaning .........

pakkarai vichithramaNi: "Wearing a jewel of the type of a horse-shoe (angavadi), a rare combination of gems,

poRkalaNai ittanadai: and a golden rein, and with a fast pace,

pakshiyenum ugra thuragamum: this peacock is nothing but a fierce horse;

neeba pakkuva malarththodaiyum: the kadamba garland made from just-blossomed flowers;

akkuvadu pattozhiya patturuva vittaruLkai vadivElum: the sharp spear in the hand, which was thrown to shatter the Krouncha Mountain into pieces;

dhikkadhu madhikkavaru kukkudamum: the rooster which comes flying as the staff amidst the praise of all from the eight directions;

rakshaitharu chitradiyum: the petite feet which protect all devotees and remain as the only solace;

mutRiyapan niruthOLum: the robust shoulders numbering twelve; and

seyppadhiyum vaiththu: the holy place VayalUr - these should be the theme of Your song*

uyar thiruppugazh viruppamodu seppena: constituting the great Thiruppugazh (Song of Glory) which you must sing with relish."

enakkaruLgai maRavEnE: These were the words with which You commanded me; how can I forget this Grace?

ikkavarai naRkanigaL sarkkarai paruppuda ney: Sugar cane, flat beans, choice fruits, sugar, lentils, refined butter,

etporiya valthuvarai iLaneer: sesame-seed, fried and puffed rices, split beans, tender coconut,

vaNdechchil payaR appavagai pachcharisi pittu: pure honey, whole lentils, fried sweet rice (appam), raw rice pudding (pittu),

veLarippazham idippalvagai thani mUlam: cucumber fruit, snacks made of ground grains, rare edible roots (like sweet potatoes and yams),

mikka adisiR kadalai: plenty of cooked rice and nuts

bhakshaNam enakkoL: are the SAthwik (harmless) food items preferred by

oru vikkinasa marththanenum aruLAzhi: the Unique One, who can create and remove obstacles; You are that Great Ocean of Compassion, Oh VinAyagA!

veRpa kudilachchadila viRparamar: One who dwells in Mount KailAs, One who has bent-down tresses, One who holds in His hand the MahA MEru as His bow, One who is Supreme,

appar aruL viththaga: and One who is the Father of the Universe, that SivA graciously delivered You to us, Oh Embodiment of Knowledge!

maruppudaiya perumALE.: You have a singular and unique tusk#, Oh Great One!

* ArunagirinAthar was directed by Lord MurugA to come to VayalUr after his first song in ThiruvaNNAmalai. Murugan wanted him to sing his next song with the following themes: His peacock, His kadamba garland, His spear, His rooster staff, His lotus feet, His twelve shoulders and the town of VayalUr. This is that unique song.

# In Mount MEru, VEda VyAsa dictated MahabhArathA - the great ithihAsA - while VinAyagA decided to write it down in palm leaves. In the absence of any writing instrument, VinAyagA broke one of His tusks and began scribbling MahAbhArathA; so He is known as Ekadhanthan - one tusked.
