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

kumara gurupara guNathara nisisara thimira thinakara saravaNapava: "Oh KumarA, oh Supreme Master, You are full of virtues; You are the sun that dispels the darkness called the demons; Oh SaravaNabavA!

kiri kumari sutha pakirathi sutha sura pathi kula mAnum kuRavar siRumiyum maruviya thiraL puya muruka saraN: You are the child of Mount HimavAn's daughter! You are also the son of Bhagirathi (Gangai)! Oh MurugA, with Your strong shoulders You hug DEvayAnai, the deer-like daughter of IndrA, the leader of the celestials, and also VaLLi, the damsel of the hunters! I surrender to You!"

ena urukuthal siRithum il kodiya vinaiyanai avalanai asadanai: - I never say so with my heart melting even slightly; I am such a product of evil deeds, an utter waste and a fool;

athi mOkak kamaril vizhavidu azhaku udai arivaiyar: the beautiful whores are capable of throwing their suitors into an extreme passion which is like a crevice on the earth;

kaLavinodu poruL aLavaLavu aruLiya kalavi aLaRidai thuvaLuRum veLiRanai: treacherously, they manage to dispense pleasure in a measure proportionate to the money they obtain; I am such a stupid person falling into the slushy mud of that so-called carnal pleasure, feeling miserable thereafter;

inithu ALa karuNai adiyarodu aruNaiyil oru visai: (ignoring my shortcomings,) once, in ThiruvaNNAmalai, along with a group of devotees who earned Your compassion, You came kindly to take charge of me,

suruthi pudai thara varum iru paripura kamala malar adi kanavilum nanavilum maRavEnE: accompanied by the chanting of VEdAs on both sides; Your hallowed lotus feet, adorned with anklets, which feet came walking for my sake, can never be forgotten by me even in my dream or while I am awake!

thamara miku thirai eRi vaLai kadal kudal maRuki alaipada: The curved sea tossing noisy waves became so agitated that its bowels began to shake;

vida nathi umizhvana samuka muka kaNa paNa paNi pathi nedu vadamAka: the distinct bunch of hoods of the serpent-king VAsuki spewed out poison which flowed like a river; that VAsuki served as the long rope (for churning the sea);

sakala ulakamu(m) nilaipeRa niRuviya kanaka kiri thirithara: the golden mount MEru was installed as the churning rod so that the entire universe could remain in a state of stability;

veku kara malar thaLara iniyathor amuthinai oru thani kadaiyA ninRu amarar pasi keda uthaviya krupai mukil: when many lotus-like hands (of the churners) became exhausted, He stood alone and churned the sea all by Himself to bring out the sweet nectar and assisted in satiation of the celestials' hunger; He is the compassionate one with the complexion of the dark cloud;

akila puvanamum aLavidu kuRiyavan aLavu nediyavan aLavida ariyavan marukOnE: coming in the form of a dwarf (VAmanan), He was able to measure the entire worlds with His foot; while measuring so, He assumed the gigantic form (of Thirivikrama); He is beyond comprehension through any measure; and You are the nephew of that Lord VishNu!

aravu punaitharu punitharum vazhipada mazhalai mozhikodu theLi thara: When Lord SivA of great purity, who wears the serpent as an ornament, worshipped, You cleared His mind with Your prattling words

oLi thikazh aRivai aRivathu poruL ena aruLiya perumALE.: preaching that knowing the effulgent form of True Knowledge is the most significant thing, Oh Great One!
