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

manaiyavaL nagaikka Urin anaivaru nagaikka: My wife laughed at me, and the entire town also laughed at me;

lOka magaLiru nagaikka: all the women of this world laughed at me;

thAdhai thamarOdum manamadhu salippa: my father and all relatives were disgusted with me;

nAyan uLamadhu salippa: I felt like a dog with a mind completely frustrated;

yArum vasaimozhi pidhatri nALum adiyEnai: everyday, I was called awful names by each and everyone;

anaivarum izhippa: and I became the target of all the people's jeering.

nAdu manaviruL miguththu: My mind could not think and became totally dark.

nAdin agamadhai eduththa sEmam idhuvOvendru adiyanu ninaiththu nALum: If I could think at all, the only thought that came to my mind everyday was "What is the purpose of my life in this body?".

udaluyir viduththa pOdhum aNugimun: When my body prepared itself to shed its life, You came towards me*

aLiththa pAdham aruLvAyE: and gracefully showed me Your two feet; will You show them again?

thanathana thanaththa thAna enamura solippa: The drums beat to the meter "thanathana thanaththa thAna";

veeNai thamaruga maRaikku zhAmum alaimOdhath: and the instrument VeenNai, hand-drums (udukkai) and the chanting of VEdAs by multitude of people were all sounding like sea waves, when

thadiniga rayiRka dAvi asurargaL iRakku mARu: You took Your spear, shining like a lightning, and forcefully threw it against the demons (asuras)

samaridai viduththa jOthi murugOnE: in the battlefield, Oh Muruga, the Luminous One!

enaimana murukki yOga anubuthi aLiththa pAdha: My heart simply melted when You preached me the yOgA Experience by showing Your lotus feet!*

ezhudhariya pacchai mEni umaibAlA: You are the son of UmAdEvi whose emerald-green colour is undescribable!

imaiyavar thudhippa gnAna malaiyuRai kuRaththi pAga: All the DEvAs praise You at GnAnamalai** which is the abode of Yourself and Your consort VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs!

ilagiya sasippeN mEvu perumALE.: You are also the consort of beautiful DEvayAnai, the daughter of IndrANi, Oh Great One!

* These incidents actually took place in the life of AruNagirinAthar. Murugan came to his rescue when he attempted suicide by jumping from the tower of the temple at ThiruvaNNAmalai and preached to him the yOgA Experience.

** GnAnamalai is said to be near NAmakkal.
