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

kolai matha kari a(n)na mrumakatha thana kiri kumpath thana mAnAr: The pot-like bosom, smeared with musk, of these whores is comparable to the menacing and ravaging elephant;

kumutha amutha ithazh paruki uruki mayal koNdu utRidu nAyEn: I am the lowly dog who gets intoxicated after imbibing the nectar-like saliva from their lips like water-lily, losing my mind due to delusory passion;

nilai azhi kavalaikaL keda unathu aruL vizhi ninRu utRidavE thAn: to do away with the miseries that bring down my good standing and to be permanently blessed under Your gracious glance,

nina thiruvadi malar iNai manathinil uRa nin patRu adaivEnO: will I ever develop attachment to You in order to firmly place Your hallowed feet in my mind?

silai ena vada malai udaiyavar aruLiya sem sol siRu pAlA: He took the northern mountain MEru as a bow in His hand; You are the child, with sweet words, of that Lord SivA!

thirai kadalidai varum asuranai vathai seytha senthil pathi vElA: By wielding Your spear, You destroyed the demon SUran who stood in the sea; and You are seated in the town of ThiruchchendhUr!

vi(l)lai nikar nuthal ipa mayil kuRa makaLum virumpip puNarvOnE: These girls have beautiful forehead resembling a bow; they are the peacock-like DEvayAnai, reared by the elephant (AyrAvadham) and VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs, both of whom are Your dear consorts!

viruthu aNi marakatha mayil varu kumara vidangkap* perumALE.: You mount the emerald-green peacock that displays emblems of victory, Oh KumarA! You are the self-emerging Lord, Oh Great One!

* dangkam means chisel; vidangam denotes a form that is created without chiselling; in other words, self-emerging.
