poruppu uRum kongaiyar poruL kavarnthu onRiya piNakkidum saNdikaL vanjamAthar: These women have mountain-like bosom; they grab the belongings (of the suitors) and are so mean that they argue about the consequent money-matters; they are treacherous whores;

puyal kuzhanRa am kamazh aRal kulam thangu avir murukku vaN sem thuvar thanthu pOkam: Their cloud-like hair is curly, beautiful, fragrant, shining like black sand dunes and is strong like taut leaf; with their red coral-like lips they offer sensual pleasure;

aruththidum singiyar tharukkidum sem kayal aRac chivantha am kaiyil anpu mEvum: they are like spoons serving poison; they are argumentative; their reddish fish-like eyes become blood-shot with rage; they covet the attractive belongings of their suitors;

avarkku uzhanRu angamum aRath thaLarnthu en payan aruL patham pangayam anpu uRAthO: what is the use of my roaming after such whores and suffering physically? Will Your lotus feet not look upon me compassionately?

miruththu aNum pangayan alarak ka(N)Nan sankarar vithiththu eNum kumpidu(m) kantha vELE: Lord Brahma who is closely associated with death*, Lord VishNu with lotus eyes and Lord SivA, namely the Trinity, worship You always in accordance with the stipulated convention, Oh Lord KandhA!

mikuththidum van samaNaraip perum thiN kazhu misaikku idum sem thamizh anga vAyA: The aggressive and challenging samaNAs were all sent by You to the strong and sharp gallows, Oh Lord with the hallowed mouth that chanted Vedic hymns (thEvAram) in chaste Tamil, by coming as ThirugnAna Sambandhar!

perukku thaN saNpaka vanam thidam kongOdu thiRal sezhum santhu akil thunRi needum: In the densely spread out and cool forest of ShaNbaga trees, fragrant and solid sandalwood trees along with other incence (akil) trees abound growing closely;

thinaip punam paim kodi thanaththudan senRu aNai: in the millet-field of that forest, there is a beautiful girl, looking like the green creeper; You hugged that VaLLi tightly with Your large chest, Oh Lord!

thirupparam kunRu uRai thampirAnE.: You are seated in this place called ThirupparangkundRam, Oh Great One!

* Death is always followed by birth; Brahma, in charge of creation, is therefore associated with death also.
