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

aRivilAp piththar undran adithozhAk ketta vanjar: Stupid fools, evil people who never worship Your feet,

asadarpEyk kaththar: idiots, indulging in devilish deeds,

nandri aRiyAdha avalar: and thankless miserable ones -

mER soRkaL koNdu kavigaL Akki pugazhndhu: these are the people on whom I wasted words by composing poems praising them!

avarai vAzhththith thirindhu poruLthEdi: I went on heaping plaudits on them to make money.

siRidhu kUttik koNarndhu theru ulAththi thirindhu: After collecting some amount, I started wandering in the streets

therivaimArkku chorindhu avamEyAn: in search of harlots on whom to shower all that money. I wasted my life.

thiriyumArg gaththu nindhai adhanai mAtrip parindhu: Can You kindly help erase the resultant infamy that attaches to me,

theLiya mOkshaththai endru aruLvAyE: and dispel my disillusionment? When will You grant me liberation?

iRaivar mAtratra sempon vadivam vEtrup pirindhu: She separated Herself from Her Oneness with Lord SivA's pure golden form,

idabamEr kachchi vandha: mounted the Great Bull (Rishabam) and reached Kachchi (kAnjeepuram).

umaiyALthan iruLai neekkath thavansey dharuLanOkkik kuzhaindha: She was UmA PArvathi who did penance to get rid of her delusion of ignorance. He regarded Her penance with melting compassion.

iRaivar kEtkath thagunsol udaiyOnE: That Lord SivA listened to Your worthy exposition of the VEdAs.

kuRavar kUttaththil vandhu kizhavanAy pukku nindru: You appeared in the disguise of an old man among the tribe of hunters (at VaLLimalai);

kuruvi Ottiththi rindha thavamAnai: there, You met the deer-like damsel, VaLLi, who was busy guarding the millet-field and driving away the birds;

guNamadhAkki chiRandha vadivukAttip puNarndha: and You enticed her completely, revealed to her Your Divine form and eventually married her.

kumarakOttath amarndha perumALE.: You chose KumarakkOttam* (kAnjeepuram) as Your abode, Oh Great One!

* To atone for imprisoning of BrahmA, Murugan was asked by Lord SivA to perform penance as a sage at KumarakkOttam. Murugan established a lingam over there and offered His worship - KAnchi PurANam.
