panthu Adi am kai nonthAr parinthu paim thAr punaintha kuzhhal meethE: These girls play ball until their beautiful hands ache; their fragrant hair which they happily adorn with fresh garlands;

paNpu Ar surumpu paN pAdukinRa pangErukam koL mukam meethE: their lotus-like faces around which fine-looking beetles hum musically;

manthAra manRal santhu Aram onRi van pAthakam sey thanam meethE: and their provocative bosom, bejewelled with pearl necklaces, which are smeared with the essence of fragrant red araththam flower and sandal paste, leading to sinful thoughts;

maNdu Asai koNdu viNdu Avi nainthu: are pumping me up with unabated passion, rendering me miserable as if life is about to leave my body;

mangAmal un than aruL thArAy: protecting me from fading away like this, kindly bless me!

kanthA aran than mainthA viLangu kanRu A mukunthan marukOnE: Oh KanthA! Son of Lord SivA! You are the nephew of Lord VishNu who (as KrishNa) was the protector and lover of the cows and their calves!

kanRA vilangal onRu ARu kaNda kaNdA arampai maNavALA: When Mount Krouncha stood in Your way, You were so enraged that You wielded the spear opening up a passage in the mount! You are the consort of the celestial maid, DEvayAnai!

sem thAthu adarntha konthu Ar kadampu thiN thOL nirampa aNivOnE: You happily wear on Your strong shoulders the garland made of bunches of kadappa flowers with red anther-bearing stamen!

thiN kOdarangaL eNkOdu uRangu sengOdu amarntha perumALE.: Strong monkeys slumber while hugging the bears in the forest of ThiruchchengkOdu*, which is Your abode, Oh Great One!

* ThiruchchengkOdu is in SAlem District of Tamil NAdu, 6 miles away from Sankaridurgam railway station. As the mount is reddish in colour, the name ThiruchchengkOdu -Red Hill- was given.

In Kandhar AlangkAram, Saint AruNagirinAthar sings about ChenkOdan (Murugan): to see His beauty, he wishes BrahmA, the Creator, had blessed him with 4,000 eyes!
