thunju kOttic chuzhal kaN kAttik kongai nOkkap palarkkum kAttik koNdu aNAppith thulakkam seerththuth thirimAnAr: Blinking their eyes as though they are exhausted, exposing their bosom openly to the view of many people and taking their suitors for a ride, these whores roam about showing off their eminence;
thoNdai vAyp pon karuppanj chAtRaith thanthu sErththuk kalakkum thUrththath thunpa vAzhkkaith thozhil paNdu Attaththu uzhalAthE: making (their suitors) imbibe the saliva, sweet like the sugarcane, oozing from their pretty and reddish lips looking like the kovvai fruit, they hug tightly and provoke so much of dizzy passion that misery ensues; I do not wish to be caught in, and reel from, their professional old games;
kanjam vAyththitta avarkkum kUttik kanRu mEyththitta avarkkum kUtRaik kanRa mAyththitta avarkkum thOtRak kidaiyA nee: Oh Lord, You are beyond the comprehension of Lord Brahma, seated on the lotus, Lord VishNu, who as KrishNa gathered all the calves and led them to graze, and Lord SivA who debilitated Yaman (God of Death) and destroyed him;
kaNdu vEttup poruL koNdAttaththu inpa vAkyaththu enakkum kEdkath thanthu kAththuth thiruk kaN sAththap peRuvEnO: will You kindly look at me, develop a liking for me and preach the celebrated, meaningful and blissful Word of Wisdom so that I too am able to realise its significance and preserve that knowledge? For that, will I ever be fortunate to come within the field of Your gracious vision, Oh Lord?
vanjamAyp pukku oLikkum cUl kaith thunRu cUrp pottu ezhac chenRu Ottip paNdu vAtkuL kaLikkum thOL koththu udaiyOnE: He hid (inside the sea) treacherously and held a trident in his hand; when he came forward in confrontation, You went in search of that demon SUran to his place of hiding, drove him away and thrust Your sword into his chest in delight, Oh Lord with a bunch of twelve shoulders!
vaNdu pAttu utRu isaikkum thOttath thaN kurAp ponpu urak kumpu EtRith thoNdar kUttaththu irukkum thOtRaththu iLaiyOnE: In the garden where beetles' hum rises to a musical crescendo, wearing the cool kurA flowers on Your broad chest, You remain amidst the devotees who praise Your glory and bless them with Your vision, Oh Young Lord!
konju vArththaik kiLith thaN sEl kaN kunRa vEtticchiyaik kaN kAttik koNdu vEttup punam paim kAttil puNarvOnE: She is like a parrot with endearing speech; she lives in the cool mountain, hailing from the lineage of hunters; You signalled to that VaLLi, whose eyes were like the sEl fish, gesturing with Your eyes and wooed her away; doting on her, You hugged VaLLi in the green grove of the millet field!
kongu ulAththith thazhaikkum kAp pon koNdal Arththuc chiRakkum kAtchik kongu nAttuth thirucchengOttup perumALE.: The groves are fertile, spreading fragrance everywhere, and beautiful clouds abound hovering over the mountains in this country called Kongu NAdu where You are seated in ThirucchengkOdu*, Oh Great One!
