......... Meaning .........
seeyuthira mengu mEypuzhuni rampu mAyamala piNda nOyiduku rampai: This body is filled with puss, blood and unstable faeces crammed with worms, serving as the receptacle of all diseases.
theenarikaL kangu kAkamivai thinpathozhiyAthE: Can it escape the ultimate fate of being devoured by fire, jackals, vultures and crows?
theethuLaku Nanga LEperuku thontha: Attachment that breeds all vices,
mAyaiyilva LArntha thOlthasaiye lumpu: combined with delusory growth of the skin, flesh, bones,
sEriduna rampu thAnivaipo thinthu nilaikANA: and veins makes this body unsteady.
Ayathuna mankai pOkavuyir: When life from such a body reaches Yaman, (God of Death),
antha nAzhikaiyil vinja Usidumi dumpai yAkiyavu dampu pENi: even at the very last minute, there is attachment to this body which is about to rot and stink;
nilai yenRu madavArpAl Asaiyaivi rumpi yE: thinking that this body is indestructible, I hanker after women with lust;
viraka singi thAnumika vanthu mEvidama yangu: being obsessed with too much carnal desire to the point of swooning,
mAzhthuyarvi zhunthu mALumenai yanpu purivAyE: I fall into the deep sea of distress leading to death. Will You kindly shower Your grace on me?
mAyaivala kanja nAlvidave kuNdu: The elephant (KuvalayApeetam) sent out by Kamsan, notorious for his trickery, came charging with anger;
pArmuzhuthu maNda kOLamuna dunga vAypiLaRi ninRu: it bleated at full throttle sending shock waves throughout the world and stood there menacingly;
mEkanikar thankai yathanAlE vAriyuRa aNdi veeRodumu zhangu: as if it was going to sweep everything with its trunk of black-cloud hue, it made loud noise arrogantly;
neerainukar kinRa kOpamode thirntha: it charged in with rage as though it was going to drink all the water in a gulp;
vAraNa iraNdu kOdodiya venRa nediyOnAm: the elephant's two tusks were broken by Krishna, the tall lord, who overpowered it triumphantly;
vEyinisai koNdu kOniraipu ranthu mEyalpuri sengaN mAlmaruka: He played the bamboo flute and herded the cattle of cows; He has eyes like the red lotus; You are the nephew of that Lord Vishnu!
thunga vElakira vunja mAlvaraiyi dinthu podiyAka: Oh Lord with the immaculate spear, to smash the large mount Krouncha to pieces,
vElaividu kantha: You wielded that spear, Oh Kandha!
kAvirivi Langu kArkalisai vantha sEvakanva Nanga: The mighty king of the prosperous and fertile town, Kalisai*, on the banks of the river KAvEri, worshipped You,
veerainakar vanthu vAzhpazhani yaNdar perumALE.: You have Your seat at Veerainagar*, and Your abode is Pazhani, Oh Great One!
