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

puRpudhame nAma aRpanilai yAdha poykkudil: My body is like an air bubble and flimsy, like a false hut, with a short life;

kulAvu manaiyALum: and without realizing this fact, my wife loves my body and caresses it.

puththirarum veedu miththiraru mAna: I have my children, house and my friends and

buththi saliyAdha peruvAzhvu: I firmly believe that my life is very great indeed!

niRpadhoru kOdi kaRpamena: I wishfully think that this life is going to last a million years!

mAya nishtaiyudan vAzhum adiyEnyAn: I, poor self, am carrying on under this myth of deep delusion.

niththanina thALil vaiththadhoru kAdhal: The unique love placed by me everyday at Your lotus feet

niRkum vagai Odha ninaivAyE: must stand for ever, and You have to think of teaching me the way to ensure it.

saRpagiri nAtha: You are the Lord at NAgagiri (also known as ThiruchchengkOdu**)!

muththamizh vinOdha: You love to delight in the three branches of Tamil.*

chakragadhai pANi marugOnE: You are the nephew of Vishnu holding ChakrA (Wheel) and GadhA in His hands!

tharkkasamaN mUgar: The SamaNA (Jain) sages were dumbfounded when they lost their debate with You,

mikkakazhu vERa vaiththavoru kAzhi maRaiyOnE: and You sent them to the gallows, Oh ThirugnAna SambandhA, the Brahmin Poet from SeegAzhi!***

kaRpuvazhu vAdhu: She is resolutely chaste;

veRpadiyin mEvu katrai maRa vANar kodi kOvE: she is VaLLi, the darling daughter of the hunters who throng the foothills of VaLLimali; and You are her consort!

kaiththa asurEsar moyththakula kAla: You were the Death-God for the closeknit dynasties of demons (asuras) who hated You!

kaRpatharu nAdar perumALE.: You are cherished by DEvAs in whose land is the KaRpaga Tree, Oh Great One!

* The three branches of Tamil are iyal - Literature, isai - Music and nAdagam - Drama.

** 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!

** According to AruNagirinAthar, ThirugnAna SambandhAr is the incarnation of Murugan.
