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

kacchu aNi iLa mulai muththu aNi pala vakai kaic chari soli vara mayal kURi: Their youthful breasts are covered by tight blouses on which pearl necklaces glitter; a variety of bangles dazzle as they expressly provoke erotic desires;

kaip poruL kavar tharu maip payil vizhiyinar kaN sevi nikar alkul madamAthar icchaiyil urukiya kacchaiyan aRivili: these whores have painted their eyes with black pigment and grab the belongings of their suitors; their genital resembles the hood of a snake; having been doting on these whores who have left permanent scars on my heart and body, I have become an utter fool;

eccham il oru poruL aRiyEnukku ippuvi misai kamazh pon patha malar iNai ippozhuthu aNuka un aruL thArAy: as I am yet to realise the unblemished and nonpareil supreme principle, will You kindly grant me Your hallowed and fragrant flower-like feet right now in this world, Oh Lord!

kocchaiyar manaiyil idaicchiyar thayir thanai nacchiye thirudiya kuRaiyAl veezh kuRkiravini yodu nal thiRa vakai aRi kotRava uvaNa(m) misai varu kEsa(va)n: He yearned for the curd stored by the milkmaids in the houses of cowherds; because of the mischief of His stealing the curd, He was bound to the stone-barrel which He dragged along and performed a miracle*; He is the King who deliberately performed that great deed; He is Lord VishNu who mounts the Eagle Garudan;

ac chuthai niRai kadal nacchu aravaNai thuyil acchuthan makizh thiru marukOnE: He slumbers on the poisonous Serpent AdhisEshan on the milky ocean containing the nectar; and You are His favourite nephew, Oh Lord!

appu aNi sadai aran mecchiya thaNi malai appane azhakiya perumALE.: Lord SivA who wears the River Gangai on His matted hair is full of praise for the mount ThiruththaNigai which is Your abode, Oh my Father! Oh Great and Handsome One!

* NaLakUbaran and MaNeegreevan, both sons of Lord KubEran, were once inebriated due to excessive drinking; indulging in vulgar water-sports, they stood like trees before Sage NArathar; and the enraged Sage cursed them to become marutha trees. When as a little child Lord KrishNa was tied to a stone-barrel by His mother, YasOdhai, He crawled between the two marutha trees dragging the barrel with Him and knocked the trees down. KubEra's sons stood there in ecstasy worshipping KrishNa who removed their curse.
