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

karai aRa urukuthal tharu kayal vizhiyinar: Their eyes are like kayal fish which make one melt beyond limit;

kaNdu Ana sem sol madamAthar: and their speech is sweet like sugar-candy; with such whores,

kalaviyil muzhukiya neRiyinil aRivu kalangA mayangum vinaiyEnum: I have been immersed in carnal pleasure, in a state of a muddled mind, totally under delusion, due to the havoc played on me by past deeds;

uraiyaiyum aRivaiyum uyiraiyum uNarvaiyum un pAtha kanja malar meethE uravodu punai thara ninaitharum adiyarodu onRAka enRu peRuvEnO: to enable me to resolutely dedicate my words, intellect, life and feelings at Your hallowed lotus feet, when shall I be fortunate to mingle with Your devotees who always think of You?

varai iru thuNi pada vaLai padu surar kudi vanthu ERa inthra puri vAzha: In order that the mount Krouncha is split into two, the imprisoned DEvAs are resettled in their land, the celestial land of IndrA prospers,

matha vitha kaja ratha thuraka patha(a)thiyin van sEnai manga: the mighty armies of the demons consisting of wild elephants, chariots, horses and soldiers are destroyed,

muthu meena thirai mali sala nithi muRai ida nisisarar thiNdAda venRa kathirvElA: the wavy sea full of old fish screams pleadingly and the demons run away helter skelter, You wielded the triumphant spear, Oh Lord!

jekathala midi keda viLaivana vayal aNi sengOdu amarntha perumALE.: The paddy fields surrounding this place ThiruchchengkOdu* yield an abundant crop to alleviate the poverty of the world, and it 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!
