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

seeRal asadan vinaikAran: I am an ill-tempered raging fool; I always do bad deeds;

muRaimayili theemai puri kabadi: I am a characterless, sinning schemer;

bava nOyE thEdu parisi: I seek the disease of repeated births;

gana needhi neRi muRaimai seermai siridhumili: I do not have an iota of prestige, moral, honesty, justice or greatness;

evarOdum kURu mozhiyadhu poyyAna: my speech to everyone is packed with lies;

kodumaiyuLa kOLan: I have an evil mind and I am wicked;

aRivili unadi pENA kULan: I am stupid; and I am a scum who never bothers to worship Your feet.

eninum enai neeyun adiyorodu kUdum: Despite all my shortcomings, You must make me join Your devotees;

vagaimai aruL purivAyE: kindly find a way to bless me accordingly.

mARu padum avuNar mALa amar porudhu: You killed the demons who deviated from the right path

vAgai yuLa mavuli punaivOnE: (after) fighting with them You wore the Victory Crown!

mAga muga dadhira veesu siRai mayilai: Your peacock flew with fluttering feathers over the mountains shaking their crests,

vAsi yena udaiya murugOnE: and You reined it, mounting it as if it were a horse!

veeRu kalisai varu sEva ganadhidhaya: In the heart of the King of famous Kalisai*

mEvum oru perumai udaiyOnE: You always remain, and that is Your incomparable greatness!

veerai uRai kumara: Oh KumarA, You also remain in the place called Veerai*!

dheera dhara pazhanivEla: You have tremendous valour, Oh VElA, having Your abode at Pazhani!

imaiyavargaL perumALE.: You are worshipped by all DEvAs, Oh Great One!

* AruNagirinAthar seldom sings about humans, with a few exceptions.
One such person was King of Kalisai, a sincere devotee of Murugan, and a friend of the poet.
The King built a temple for Murugan at Veerai invoking Pazhani Murugan's blessings.
