ath thukirin nal atharaththu al ana aLakaththu: In those coral-like red lips (of the whores), in their black hair like darkness,

vaLar sey puLakitha pUtharaththu iru kamala karaththu ithayam uruki: in their exhilarating breasts and in their lotus-like palms, my mind simply melted;

aththi idan uRaiyum nedu mAmaraththu malar kani alaiththu: in the middle of the sea, You shook the huge mango tree (SUran in disguise) along with its flowers and fruits (and killed that demon)

varum idaith thalaththu uraka sikari pakarAthE: and after that, You came to rest in this place called Mount Serpent (ThiruchchengkOdu)*; rather than singing the praise of this great mountain,

aththi mala udal nadaththi eri koL niraiyaththin idai adimai vizhalAmO: I, the lowly slave, was carrying on with this body filled with bones and faeces and fell into the burning hell; how could I do that?

thaththu kavana ariNaththu upanida vithaththu muni uthavu mozhiyAl: She was born to a female deer with a fast stride who was blessed by a Saivite Sage who adopted a Vedic life as stipulated in scriptures;

thuththaththai naRavai amuthaththai nikar kuRavar thaththai: her speech was sweet like milk, honey and nectar; she was VaLLi, the parrot-like damsel of the KuRavAs;

thazhuviya pa(n)niru thOLA: and You embraced her with Your twelve shoulders, Oh Lord!

thaththu uthathi thurakathaththu miku thithisar: Those demons who were capable of driving their armies of horses faster than the wavy seas,

thaththu malai avuNar kula nAkam thaththa: along with those demons who aggressively fight in the battlefield and the eight protective mountains, were all shattered

misai marakathath thamaniya mayil thaththa vidum amarar perumALE.: when You drove Your greenish-golden peacock jumping into all over them, Oh Lord! You are the Lord of the celestials, 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!
