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

neRiththup poruppukku oththa mulaikkuth thanaththaik kotti niRaiththuc chukiththuc chikki: With a melting heart due to excessive passion, I stooped so low as to shower all my belongings for the sake of the mountain-like bosom; indulging in abundant pleasure, I got ensnared in it;

veku nALAy ninaiththuk ko(N)du ath thukkaththai avaththaikku adukkaip petRu: for many days, I was thinking about that pleasure, suffering the consequent misery and distress;

nisaththil suzhuththip patta adiyEnai iRukkip pidiththuk katti uthaiththuth thudikkap patRi izhuththuth thuvaiththuc chutRi yama thUthar: I was virtually immobile and slumbering (without having the vision of the true principle); at that time, the messengers of Yaman (God of Death) surrounded me and held me in a tight grip and began to kick me; while lashing me, they dragged my shaking body along, trampling upon it and beating it at the same time;

enakkuk kaNakkuk kattu viriththuth thokaikku udpatta ilakkap padikkuth thakka padiyE thAn: they opened up and showed me the record of my accounts, and according to the index (of my total sins committed in this world),

muRukkith thiruppic chuttu malaththil pukattith thitti muzhukkak kalakkap pattu alaiyAmal: they twisted and reheated my body; they dipped it in a heap of faeces and rebuked me; saving me from total captivity and agitation in that mayhem,

mozhikkuth tharaththukku utRa thamizhkkuc chariththuc chiththi mukaththil kaLippup petRu mayil ERi: I request You to accept my language and compositions in Tamil of a high order, displaying elation on Your hallowed face that grants blissful liberation; mounting Your peacock,

uRukkic chinaththuc chaththi ayiRkuth tharaththaik kaikkuL uthikkap paNiththup pakkal varuvAyE: come closer to me, elegantly bearing the powerful spear in Your hallowed hand, which spear has the rage to punish!

unaic chol thuthikkath thakka karuththaik koduppaic chiththi udaik kaRkudikkuL paththar perumALE.: Kindly grant me the concept that gives rise to words to praise You, my Lord! In this famous place ThirukkaRkudi*, where all the eight sidhdhis (Great Feats*) are present, You are seated as the beloved Lord of the devotees, Oh Great One!

* ThirukkaRkudi is near VayalUr which is in the vicinity of ThiruchchirAppaLLi.
