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

sutrakaba dOdupala sUdhuvinai yAnapala: I acquired all the malice around me and practised many treacherous activities.

katrakaLa vOdupazhi kArarkolai kArarsali: Mastering the skill of thievery, I mingled with disreputable people and murderers until I got tired of them.

sutravizha lAnabavi shOdukadal mUzhgivaru thuyarmEvi: I roamed around, gloating about vainly and drowned in the sea of life, suffering all its harassment.

dhukkasamu sAravalai meenadhena kUzhilvizhu seththaiyena: I was like the fish caught in the net strewn over the miserable ocean of life and the rubbish found in the soup.

mULumoru theeyilmezhu gAna udal: My body felt like the wax thrown into the burning fire;

suddhamaRi yAdhapaRi kAyamadhil mEvivaru poRiyAlE: in this unclean and obese body, the five sensory organs play so much havoc that

satrumadhi yAdhakali kAlanvaru nEramadhil: the God of Death (Yaman), the strong and arrogant one, comes without even the slightest compassion. At that time,

thaththu aRi yAmal odi yAdivaru sUdharaivar: not realising the imminent danger (of death), the five gamblers (called the sensory organs) make merry and run around carefree,

saththapari sAnamaNa rUparasa mAnapoymai viLaiyAdith: indulging in the myth of sensory pleasures of sound, touch, smell, sight and taste;

thakkamada vArmanaiyai nAdi: seeking physically suitable women, pursuing them to their houses,

yava rOdupala siththuviLai yAduvinai cheechiyidhu nARavudal: and messing around with them in carnal pleasure, this body becomes the stinking subject of ridicule of one and all.

thaththimudi vAgividu vEnomudi yAdhapadham aruLvAyE: Will my body ultimately degenerate to such a dismal position leading to death? Kindly bless me before that with Your immortal hallowed feet!

dhiththimidha theedhimidha theedhimidha dheemithatha
thaththathana thAnathana thAnanana thAnanana
dhikkududu dUdamada dAdamada dUdududu enathALam: (To this meter), beats were sounding

dhikkumugi lAda ariyAda ayanAda: like thunder all over; VishNu and BrahmA were dancing around;

sivanoththuviLai yAdaparai yAdavara rAda: Lord SivA danced; so also did Mother ParAsakthi and the learned sages;

pala dhikkasurar vAda surar pAdamaRai pAda: the demons in all the directions faded and became depressed; the celestials began to sing and the VEdAs were chanted;

edhir kaLameedhE ethdhisaiyu nAdiyama nArniNamo dAda: in the battlefield of confrontation, the messengers of Yaman wandered everywhere in search of the carnage and walked all over the corpses;

bela mikkanari yAdakazhu dhAda kodi yAda: the strong foxes danced with joy having found plenty of food; the fiends and crows danced;

samar etrivaru bUthagaNa mAdavoLi yAdavidu vadivElA: the devils, hit in the conflict on the battleground, danced; when You wielded the powerfully bright and sharp spear, Oh Lord!

eththiyoru mAnaithinai kAvalvala pUvaithanai: Assuming several disguises (like hunter, neem tree, bangle merchant and old man), You tricked the deer-like belle VaLLi, an expert guard of the millet field, looking like a pretty pUvai bird,

siththamalai kAmugaguhA: and simply stirred her heart with passion, Oh GuhA!

namasi vAyanodu rathnagiri vAzhmuruganE: Along with Lord SivA, You are seated in the town of Rathnagiri* (also known as VAtpOkki), Oh Muruga!

yiLaiyavA amarar perumALE.: You are for ever youthful; and You are the Lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* Rathnagiri, also known as Manikkiri and VATpOkki, is a famous place sung in ThEvArams.
