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

arukki meththenac chiriththu urukki ittu u(L)Lak karuththu azhiththu aRak kaRuththa kaN payilAlE: With a brief and soft smile, they simply melt the mind of the suitors destroying their inner thought; with the signs emanating from their pitch dark eyes,

azhaiththu akap paduththi ottaRa poruL paRippavarkku aduththu apaththam utRu: they invite their guests ensnaring them in their net and take away all their belongings; making the blunder of visiting such whores,

viththakar pOlath tharikkum viththarikkum: pretending to be wise men, talking nonsense extensively,

mikka thaththuva prasiththi eththalaththu matRu ilai piRarkku ena njAnam samaiththu uraiththu: wise-cracking with newly coined words and boasting that no one in any town is famous like them in speaking lofty truths,

imaippinil sadakkenap paduththu ezhac chaRukkum ip piRappu petRidalAmO: these men disappear in a flash of a second like someone quickly lies down and gets up; is this sort of birth worthwhile at all?

porukku ezhak kadal parappu arakkar koththu iRappu uRa: The sea dried up revealing the parched basin; the multitude of demons was annihilated;

poruppinil perukka utRidu mAyam pudaiththu idiththu adal karaththu uRap pidiththa: and the magical spell that had gripped the mount Krouncha was broken and destroyed when You held the spear in Your strong hand, Oh Lord!

kaRpakap purikku irakkam vaiththa pon kathir vElA: You graciously looked after the celestial land of the KaRpaga trees, Oh Lord with the beautiful dazzling spear!

thiruththa muththamizh kavikku oruththa: You stand as the matchless testimony of all poems composed in the three branches of Tamil!

maik kuRaththiyaith thinaip punak kirith thalaththu idai thOyum: In the millet-field of hilly VaLLimalai, You embraced VaLLi, whose eyes were embellished with black pigment, Oh Lord!

sivaththa kukkudak kodic cherukka uRpalac chunaic chiRappudaith thiruththaNip perumALE.: As Your reddish staff of Rooster was beaming with pride, You took Your seat in ThiruththaNigai, famous for its pond where blue lily blossoms, Oh Great One!
