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

chakadaththil kuzhai ittu etRik kuzhalukkuc charam vaiththu etRi: Their ear-studs, round like the wheel, strike the heart of the on-lookers; the garlands worn on their hair-do also attack;

puLakiththuk kuvaLaik kaN pon kaNai oththittu uzhalac chuththith tharaLap pal pavaLaththu otta: their exhilarated eyes, looking like lilies, roll like arrow; their teeth, that are like pure pearl, shine, staying close to their coral-like lips;

kaLapa ap(pi) ottuthal itta aththik kuvadu Ana thana thuththip padikam poRpu ittu asaiya: their swaying breasts, stained by discoloured skin and looking like an elephant smeared with sandalwood paste and like the mountain, are adorned with beautiful crystal jewels;

peL pasaLaith thuppuk kodi oththittu idaiyil pattaith thakaiyil thottu ukaLap pacchaic charaNaththukku iyalac chutRic chuzhal ittu: around their waist that looks like pasaLai (pot-herb) and coral creepers, silk cloth is wrapped that hangs elegantly right down to their two greenish feet;

kadanaip patRik koLu mAthar sukam utRuk kavalaip pattup poruL kettuk kadai kettuc chol kuLaRittuth thadi thottu etRi: enjoying the coital pleasure offered by these whores who grab the money (due to them), brooding later over all the wealth lost, deteriorating in health totally, with speech impaired, walking with the help of a cane,

piNi utRuk kasathip pattuc cuka thukkaththu idar kettu utRuth thaLar pattuk kidai pattu uppik kidai nALil: falling sick, feeling miserable, going through the gyration of happiness and sadness that causes suffering and depression, and finally on those days when I lie down on the bed with a swollen body,

chuzhalarc chakkiriyaic chutRittu iRukak katti uyiraip patRik koL ukap paRpalaraik kattik karam vaiththuth thalaiyil kuththic chudu kattaic chudalaik kattaikku irai ittup podi pattu utkic chadam AmO: the messengers of Yaman (God of Death) come whirling and tie my life to the tight rope of bondage to take it away; many friends and relatives hug my body and beat their heads with their hands; then the combustible log that is my body is fed to the pieces of firewood in the cremation ground and is pulverised into ashes; how could such a mortal body be something that one cherishes?

thikudaththik kukudat tuttut tamadattat tamadat tikkut timidittit timidit tikkuth thokuthokkuth thokuthath thokkuc chekaNakkac chekaNac chekkuth thakudaththath thakudath thattuttu idipEri: The big drum, pErikai, was making thunderous sound in the meter "thikudaththik kukudat tuttut tamadattat tamadat tikkut timidittit timidit tikkuth thokuthokkuth thokuthath thokkuc chekaNakkac chekaNac chekkuth thakudaththath thakudath thattuttu";

pakalaip pal coriyath thakkan pathi pukku attu azhal ittuth thiN puram matkik kazhai vil putpac charanaic chuttu ayanaik koththip pavurik koL paramarkkuc chaRguru oththup poruLaik kaRpiththu aruLvOnE: He knocked down the teeth of the Sun; He went into the capital city of Dhakshan and killed him by setting fire on his head; He burnt down the strong Thiripuram and Manmathan (God of Love) holding a bow of sugarcane and arrows of flowers; He severed the head of Brahma; and He dances the cosmic dance; to that Lord SivA, You graciously preached, as a great Master, the meaning of PraNava ManthrA, Oh Lord!

pavaLap pon kiri thuththip pon thana kocchaik kiLi chol patRip parivu utRuk kamalap putpaththu ithazh patRip puNarc chithrap pon padikaththup pavaLap pacchaip patha muththup pazhanic chokkap perumALE.: She is bestowed with discoloured breasts that are like coral and golden mountains; her speech is like that of the prattling parrot; being attracted by her sweet words, You kissed her lotus-like lips and enjoyed Your union with her, Oh Lord! This town Pazhani elates one's mind like the beautiful gold, the marble, the coral, the emerald and the pleasing pearl, and You are seated here, Oh Great One!
