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

garudan misaivaru kariya puyalena: "You are like Lord Vishnu, mounted on Eagle Garuda, with the complexion of the dark cloud!

kamala maNiyena: In charity You are the Treasure of Lotus (Padmanidhi) and the Gem of the Heart (ChinthAmaNi)!" -

ulakOraikkathaRi yavarpeyar seruki: with these screaming words of praise, some poets sing about the people of the world, even inserting their names in the songs!

manamathu karuthi muthumozhi kaLainAdith: They deliberate on selecting the choicest words of adage,

thirudi yorupadi nerudi: sometimes resorting to stealing such words and using excessive hyperbole!

yaRivilar seviyil nuzhaivana kavipAdith: They literally drum such songs into the ears of those stupid people;

thiriyu mavarsila pulavar: this is the lot of some of those roving poets;

mozhivathu siRithu muNarvakai yaRiyEnE: and I am unable to comprehend even slightly as to what these poets sing about.

varudai yinamathu murudu padumakil maramu maruthamu madisAya: Herds of mountain-goats, along with jagged trees of sandalwood and marutham are uprooted

mathura menunathi peruki yirukarai vazhiya: by the floods in the river Madhuram inundating both the banks,

vakaivakai kuthipAyung kurudi malaiyuRai muruka: with water jumping about in all directions in this town called Kurudimalai*. That is Your abode, Oh Muruga!

kulavada kuvadu thavidezha mayilERung kumara gurupara: The great mount in the north, Krouncha, was shattered to pieces when You mounted the Peacock, Oh Kumara! Oh Great Master!

thimira thinakara kuRaivi limaiyavar perumALE.: You are the Sun that dispels the darkness of ignorance! You are the Lord of the unblemished celestials, Oh Great One!

* Kurudimalai is within 2 miles of Coimbatore, adjacent to Thudiyalur Railway station.
