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

karu niRam siRanthu akalvana pukalvana: Those (eyes) are beautifully black, wide and sparklingly expressive;

mathana thanthiram kadiyana kodiyana kanaka kuNdalam poruvana varuvana: they have the ferocity and evil quality as defined in erotic texts; they move aggressively towards the golden ear-studs and return;

pari thAvum kadaludan padarnthu adarvana thodarvana: they are wide like the sea where the vadavAmukA fire (the ultimate inferno from the North pole that flows at the end of the aeon) spreads wildly;

viLaiyum nanju aLainthu oLirvana piLirvana: they are like the poison in that sea that spurts brightly;

kaNaiyai ninRu ninRu ethirvana muthirvana: they challenge the arrows in sharpness and surpass them; their action is consummate;

iLaiyOr mun seruvai mUNdu akam siRuvana uRuvana: they are determined to battle in front of the young men and bicker among themselves;

kaLavu vanchakam suzhalvana uzhalvana: they roll and roam about with stealthy and treacherous thoughts;

thenana thenthanan thenathena thenathena ena nAtham theri surumpai venRiduvana aduvana: they outclass the beetle that hums the tune of "thenana thenthanan thenathena thenathena" exercising a control over it with their brightness;

maruL sey kaNkaL koNdu aNaivar tham uyir athu thirukukinRa mangaiyar vasam azhithalai ozhivEnO: with such delusory eyes, these whores squeeze the life out of the hugging suitors; will I be able to save myself from destruction in their hands?

maruvu thaNdai kiN kiNi paripuram ivai: The fitting anklets, the beads within them and ornaments around the ankles

kala kalan kalin kalin ena iru saraN malarkaL nonthu nonthu adi ida vadivamum mika vERAy: made the sound of "kala kalan kalin kalin" from Your sore hallowed feet when You wandered around, assuming several disguises;*

valiya singamum karadiyum uzhuvaiyum uRai sezhum punam thinai viLai ithaN misai: You went up to the raised platform in the fertile millet-field amidst the forest where mighty lions, bears and tigers inhabit;

maRavar thangaL peN kodi thanai oru thiru uLam nAdi: You sought in Your heart the matchless belle, VaLLi, belonging to the tribe of KuRavAs;

aruku senRu adainthu avaL siRu pathayuka satha thaLam paNinthu: You approached her and fell at the petite lotus feet of VaLLi;

athi vitha kalaviyuL aRa maruNdu nenju avaLudan makizhvudan aNaivOnE: You played with her in many a dizzy way and embraced her with delight!

amarar sangamum kudi puka nodiyinil niruthar sangamum podipada amar seythu: You fought with such valour that the whole lot of celestials was reestablished in their own land and the bunch of demons was destroyed to pieces;

aruNai vanthu then thisai thanil uRai tharu perumALE.: and then You came to ThiruvaNNAmalai to take Your seat in the southern side of the temple, Oh Great One!

The first half of this song describes the eyes of the whores.

* In pursuit of VaLLi, Murugan assumed several disguises such as hunter, neem tree and an old man.
