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

mullaikkum mAran am kai villukkum mAthar thangaL pallukkum vAdi inpam muyalA: Being subdued by the flowery arrow (of jasmine) from the bow of sugarcane wielded by the pretty hand of Manmathan (God of Love) and the gossip-mongering by women, I persisted in seeking pleasure;

neeL muL utRa kAl madinthu koLLikkuL mUzhki venthu paLLaththil veezhvathu anRi: it resulted in my lying limp as if I had run a long and sharp thorn in my foot; my heart simmered as though it had plunged into a burning fire of misery;

oru njAna ellaikkum AraNangaL sollith thozhA vaNangum ellaikkum vAvi: I simply fell down to the bottom of the pit and strayed beyond the border line of knowledge and wandered away from the boundaries worshipped by the scriptures;

ninRan aruL nAmam eLLaRku mAl ayarnthu: I even derived pleasure in ridiculing Your gracious name;

uLLaththil Ava enRum uLLap peRA iNangai ozhivEnO: will I ever get rid of the company of such worthless people who never think of seeking refuge in You?

allaikku av Anai thantha vallikku mArpu ilanga allik koL mArpu alangal punaivOnE: In the darkness of the night, You offered the garland from Your lotus-like chest to embellish the bosom of VaLLi, the creeper-like damsel presented to You by an elephant (Lord Ganapathi), Oh Lord!

aLLal padAtha gangkai veLLaththu vAvi thangi meLLac carOrukangaL payil nAthA: You materialised in the SaravaNa pond in the middle of the pristine River Ganga without a speck of mud, and gracefully took seat on a lotus in that pond, Oh Lord!

vallaik kumAra kantha thillaip purAri maintha: You have Your abode in Thiruvallam, Oh KumarA! Oh KandhA, You are the son of Lord SivA who is seated in Chidhambaram and who burnt down the Thiripuram!

mallup poru ARiraNdu puya veerA: You possess twelve strong shoulders ready to wrestle at all times, Oh valorous One!

vaLLik kuzhAm adarntha vaLLik kal meethu senRu vaLLikku vEdai koNda perumALE.: You climbed the mount VaLLimalai*, where creepers called VaLLi proliferate, in pursuit of Your beloved VaLLi, Oh Great One!

* VaLLimalai is in North Arcot District 12 miles southeast of Roya VelUr, slightly north of Thiruvallam. This is the hill where VaLLi was found as a baby by the tribe of hunters.
