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

kondhuvAr kura vadiyinum: Under the KurA tree (in Thiruvidaikkazhi) full of bunches of flowers,

adiyavar chindhai vArija naduvinum: in the middle of the lotus hearts of Your devotees, and

neRipala konda vEdha nan mudiyinum: at the apex of the multi-disciplined VEdAs (scriptures),

maruviya gurunAthA: You prevail, Oh Great Master!

kongil Ertharu pazhaniyil aRumuga: In Pazhani of Kongunadu, You appear as the six-faced Shanmukha;

sendhil kAvala: in ThiruchchendhUr, You appear as the Protector; and

thaNigaiyil iNaiyili: in ThiruththaNigai, You are simply peerless!

kondhu kAvena mozhithara varu samaya virOdha: Those, gathering in a noisy crowd, opposing religion

thanthra vAdhigaL peRa ariyadhu: and being argumentative, can never realize You!

piRar sandhiyAdhadhu: Those who are outside Your Domain can never meet You!

thanadhena varum oru sampradhAyamum: Your path is of a unique tradition;

idhu ena urai seydhu: and that path must be shown to me by You!

viraineepa: Adorned by fragrant kadampa flowers,

sanchareekari kara mural: with beetles humming around, and

dhamaniya kiN kiNee muka: with anklets fitted with golden beads,

idha padhayuga malar: are Your two soothing lotus feet;

thandha pEr aruL kanavilum nanavilum maravEnE: and Your great gracious gift of these feet to me can never be forgotten by me even in my dreams!

iLa nava chandhra rEkaiyum aravamum: young and fresh crescent moon and a snake

aNi tharu senchadAdharar: adorning the reddish tresses of SivA,

thirumaga venavarum murugOnE: He gave You unto us as His lovely child, Oh Muruga!

seNpa gAdavi yiNum idhaNinum: In the forest of SheNpaka trees, on the raised platform in millet fields,

uyar sandha nAdavi yinum: and in the thick jungle of tall sandalwood trees

uRai kuRamagaL: lives the damsel of KuRavas, namely VaLLi.

sempo nUpura kamalamum: Her lotus feet wearing the reddish-golden anklets;

madal idai ezhudhiya perumALE.: all these, You portrayed in madal* (canvas in palm leaf), Oh Great One!

* madal: is a type of palm leaf used as a canvas on which Murugan drew the descriptive picture of VaLLi and went alone to VaLLimalai. There, He chose a junction of four streets and stood staring at the picture day in and day out, oblivious of other peoples' comments and jeers. Ultimately, VaLLi's people were so moved by Murugan's devotion that they decided to formally give VaLLi in marriage to Murugan - according to Kandha PurANam.
