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

Olam itta surumpu thanA thanA enavE siraththil vizhum kai paLeer paLeer ena Osai petRa silampu kaleer kaleer ena: The humming beetles made the sound "thanA thanA"; the sound produced by their impinging upon the flowers on the hair was like "paLeer paLeer"; the rattling anklets on the legs made a clinking noise;

viraka leelai Or midatRil ezhum puL kukU kukU ena vErvai meththa ezhunthu salA salA ena rOma kucchu niRainthu sileer sileer ena: during their love-play, the crooning calls of birds emanating from their matchless throat sounded "kukU kukU"; they profusely perspired in a sticky and sultry manner; their exhilaration was accompanied by goose-bumps chilling the entire body;

amuthamAran AlayaththuL irunthu kupeer kupeer enavE kuthikka udampu vireer vireer ena Ara muththam aNinthu aLA aLA ena maruvu mAthar: Manmathan (God of Love) got out of his seat and jumped all over in a spurt; the body became tingled due to excessive passion; these whores, adorned with strand of pearls, unite only after their demand of limitless amount of money is met;

Asaiyil kai kalanthu sumA sumA pava sAkaraththil azhunthi ezhA ezhAthu uLam ARu ezhuththai ninainthu kukA kukA ena vakai varAthO: I do not have the desire to copulate with them and sink into the sea of birth only to refloat again; instead, my mind wishes to think of the fundamental principle of the six hallowed letters (SaravaNabava) and to keep on chanting "Oh GuhA, Oh GuhA"; will I ever get that good fortune, Oh Lord?

mAlai itta sirangaL sevEl sevEl ena vEl ezhucchi tharum pal veLEl veLEl ena vAkai petRa puyangaL kaREl kaREl ena ethir koL cUran: With reddish hair on the head (due to bleeding) adorned with garlands, showing his white teeth sharp like the spear and black-complexioned shoulders that once displayed garlands of triumph, the demon SUran advanced confrontingly;

mArpum okka nerinthu kareel kareel ena pEy kuthikka niNangkaL kuzhU kuzhU ena vAy puthaiththu vizhunthu aiyO aiyO ena uthiram ARAy: his chest was charred altogether; pieces of flesh gathered on the floor in heaps after heaps to the rejoicing of the jumping fiends; the dumbfounded demons fell down screaming uncontrollably; blood gushed in the battlefield like a river;

vElai vatRi vaRaNdu suReel suReel ena mAlai veRpum idinthu thideel thideel ena mEnmai petRa janangkaL aiyA aiyA ena isaikaL kURa vEl eduththu nadantha thivAkarA: the seas became dried up and shrank suddenly; the magical and treacherous mount Krouncha was shattered, falling down with a thud; the exalted celestials and others sang songs of praise hailing You "Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord as You came with the spear, Oh, Sun of Knowledge!"

asala vEduvap peN maNantha puya asalA thamizh vEtha veRpil amarntha krupAkarA siva kumara vELE.: You married VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs of VaLLimalai, Oh Lord with mountain-like broad shoulders! In this mountain ThirukkazhukkundRam* (also known as VEthagiri) where Tamil reverberates, You are seated full of grace and compassion! You are the Leader, Oh Son of Lord SivA!

* Kathalivanam - meaning a jungle of plantains - is also another name of ThirukkazhukkundRam as the shrine has plantain as SthalaVriksham {Shrine Tree}. This place is 9 miles Southeast of Chingelpet Railway Station.
