vaN kAman ampu than kAl madanga van pOr malaiththa vizhi vElum: their combative and spear-like eyes are capable of overwhelming the impact of the (flowery) arrows shot by the formidable God of Love, Manmathan;

koNdE vaLainthu kaNdAr thiyanga ninRAr kurumpai mulai mEvi: with these weapons, the whores hook young men disturbing the mind of their suitors; thinking about their bosom that looks like baby-coconut,

konthu Ar arumpu(m) nin thAL maRanthu kunRAmal un than aruL thArAy: I neglected to remember Your hallowed feet adorned with bunches of flowers; lest I destroy myself in that process, kindly bestow Your blessings upon me!

paNdu Azhi sangu koNdu Azhi thangu paNpOn ukantha marukOnE: Since times of yore, He has been holding the conch-shell and the disc in His hands, slumbering on the milky ocean; You are the favourite nephew of that Lord VishNu!

seNdu Adi aNdar koNdAda manRil ninRu Adi sinthai makizh vAzhvE: You destroyed the demons; the celestials hailed Your victory and Lord SivA, dancing on the golden stage, was enamoured of You, Oh Treasure!

senchAli minji manju AdukinRa sengOdu amarntha perumALE.: In this place, ThiruchchengkOdu*, red rice grows abundantly and clouds hover in the sky; You are seated here, 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!
