kari uri aravam aNintha mEniyar: He has a body wrapped in the hide of an elephant and adorned with serpents;

kalai mathi salamu(m) niRaintha vENiyar: His matted hair is filled with bright moon and river Gangai;

kanal mazhu uzhaiyum amarntha pANiyar: in His hands, He holds fire, a deer and a pick-axe;

kanja mAthin kana mulai paruki vaLarntha kAmanai munipavar kayilai amarntha kAraNar: He became enraged with (and destroyed) Manmathan (God of Love) who imbibed milk from the huge breast of Goddess Lakshmi*, seated on a lotus; He is the primordial and causal One, seated in Mount KailAsh;

kathir viri maNi pon niRaintha thOLinar kaNda kALa: His shoulders are filled with dazzling gemstones and gold; such a great Lord SivA holds in His neck the evil poison, AlakAlam;

virivu ena unathu uL ukantha vEl ena: (the eyes of these whores are) looking like an expanded version of that poison; making one wonder whether those eyes are Your favourite Spear (in sharpness),

mika iru kuzhaiyum adarnthu vELinai anaiyavar uyirai vizhungi: they creep up close to the swinging ear-studs and gobble up the lives of young men looking like Manmathan;

mElum vekuNdu nAdum vinai vizhi makaLir thanangaL mArpu uRa vitha miku kalavi porunthi: (not satisfied with all these acts), those eyes display more anger and greater desire; hugging tightly the whores endowed with such eyes and engaging in various acts of carnal pleasure,

mEniyum ezhil keda ninaivum azhinthu mAyvathu ozhinthidAthO: my body lost all its sheen and my memory began to fade; will I ever be able to avoid such a destructive end?

eri sori vizhiyum iraNdu vAL eyiRu iru piRai sayilam iraNdu thOL: With the two eyes emitting fire, their crescent teeth dazzling and two mountain-like shoulders,

mukil ena varum asurar sirangaL mEru idinthu veezhvathu ena vizha muthuku piLanthu: the demons confronted like the black cloud; knocking their heads, which fell down as if Mount MEru had collapsed, splitting their backs, and

kALikaL idu pali enavu(m) nadanthu thAL thozha: as the KALis in the battlefield walked up to You and prostrated at Your feet for feeding them (those corpses),

ethir poruthu uthiram ukantha vEkam ukaintha vElA: Your spear fought back, rushing with relish to taste the blood of those demons, Oh Lord!

ari kari uzhuvai adarntha vAL malai aruNaiyil aRavum uyarntha kOpuram athin uRai kumara: You are seated in the very tall temple tower of ThiruvaNNAmalai, whose mountain is radiant and in which a close company of lions, elephants and tigers inhabit!

anantha vEtha(m) mozhinthu vAzhum aRumuka vadivai ozhinthu: Discarding Your (usual) form with six hallowed faces that are worshipped by countless vEdAs,

vEdarkaL adaviyil arivai kuyangaL thOy puya: You went in pursuit of VaLLi who lived in a forest belonging to the hunters and hugged her bosom with Your hallowed shoulders!

ari ara pirama puranthar Athiyar thambirAnE.: You are the Lord of VishNu, SivA, BrahmA, IndrA and all other celestials, Oh Great One!

* Manmathan is the son of Lord VishNu and Goddess Lakshmi.
