kolai koNda pOr vizhi kOlO vALO vidam minju pAthaka vElO sElO kuRai koNdu ulAviya meenO mAnO enu(m) mAnAr: The eyes of these whores are comparable to the arrow or the sword, inherent with killing instinct, or the sinful spear filled with poison, or the sEl (fish), or the fish capable of swinging right up to, and touching, the swaying earstuds or the deer;

kuyil thangu mA mozhiyAlE nErE izhai thangu nUl idaiyAlE: falling for their sweet speech sounding like the cooing of the cuckoo, their barely visible slender waist, thin like a piece of thread,

meethu Ur kuLir kongai mEruvinAlE nAnA vithamAki: and their prominently showing cool bosom that looks like the mount MEru, my mind has been disturbed in several ways;

ulai koNda mA mezhukAyE mOkAy alai ampurAsiyin UdE mUzhkA: I have melted down like the good wax put into the furnace and am deeply drowned in the sea where waves of desparate passion toss about;

udal panja pAthakamAy A(y) nOyAl azhivEnO: my body having committed the five* heinous sins, am I supposed to die through affliction of diseases?

uRu thaNda(m) pAsamodu ArA vArA enai aNdiyE namanAr thUthu AnOr uyir koNdu pOyvidu nAL nee mee thAL aruLvAyE: On that day when the messengers of Yaman (God of Death) close in on me raising an uproar, armed with the mace and the rope of bondage, to take my life, kindly grant me Your hallowed feet!

alai koNda vArithi kOkO kOkO ena ninRu vAy vidavE: The wavy sea roared aloud sounding "kO kO";

neeL mA cUr aNi am sarAsanam vERAy neeRAyidavE: and the elegant bow and arrows held by the demon SUran, standing in the disguise of a mango tree, were shattered to pieces;

thAnavirkinRa sOthiya vAr Ar neeL seer anal am kai vEl vidum veerA theerA arumantha rUpaka EkA: when You wielded from Your hand the long and famous, fiery spear that has an inherent effulgence, symbolic of justice, Oh Valiant One! You are very brave, endearing and handsome, Oh Matchless One!

vERu Or vadivAki malai koNda vEduvar kAn UdE pOy kuRa mangaiyALudanE mAl AyE: In the disguise of a hunter You went into the forest of Mount VaLLimalai where hunters lived and fell in love with VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs;

mayal koNdu ulAy avaL thAL meethE veezh kumarEsA: roaming about with deep passion for her, You prostrated at the feet of that VaLLi, Oh Lord KumarA!

mathi minju pOthaka vElA ALA makizh sampuvE thozhu pAthA nAthA: You are full of True Knowledge, Oh Lord with the spear! He happily learnt from You as a student, and that Lord SivA prostrates at Your hallowed feet, Oh Master!

mayilam thaN mA malai vAzhvE vAnOr perumALE.: You are seated in the cool mountain of Mayilam** and You are the Lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* Five heinous sins are: murder, lying, stealing, drunkenness and abuse of the teacher.
