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

kadakada karuvigaL thapavagi radhirkadhirkAma: The striped tigers in Your abode KadhirgAmam roar louder than, and drown, the rattling noise of the drums.

tharangam malaiveerA: Your valour displayed by the Spear shakes the waves of the sea!

kanakadha nagakuli puNaridha guNa: With a kind heart, You married DEvayAnai, reared by AirAvatham, the elephant of IndrA, noted for its fame and rage.

guha: You dwell inside the cave of my heart, Oh GuhA!

kAmath thananjam buyanOda: Vishnu, father of Manmathan, was scared; BrahmA fled from the place;

vadasika ragiridha vidupada: and the northern mount MEru saw its peak reduced to powder

natamidu mAviR pugun kantha: when Your peacock (more like a horse) danced; and You mounted on it, KanthA!

vazhAdhu vazhivazhi thamarena vazhipadugilan: I do not worship You in a traditional way as Your devotees do.

enavA vikkinam pondridumOthAn: Nevertheless, will my desires and miseries ever be extinguished?

adavi yirudiy abinava kumari yadimaiyAy: You desired to be the slave of VaLLi, the wonderful daughter of a sage meditating in the forest*,

appunansendr ayarvOnE: and faced a lot of trouble going to her millet field!

avasamudan athadhi thiritharu kavi: Once there was a poet (PoyyAmozhi) who was roaming in the forest in a trance;

yALa ayil buyankoN daruLvOnE: You challenged him and took him on in the disguise of a hunter with a spear!**

idamoru marakatha mayilmisai vadivuLa: He gave the left side of His body to this emerald-green peahen,

EzhaikkuidankaN davarvAzhvE: called PArvathi; and He is SivA. You are His treasure!

idhamozhi pagarinu madhamozhi pagarinum: Whether I praise You with kind words or I speak to You arrogantly,

Ezhaik kirangum perumALE.: You are always extremely gracious to this poor soul, Oh Great One!

* Vishnu took the form of a Saivite sage and was meditating in a forest. Lakshmi took the form of a deer and distracted Vishnu. When the sage's sight fell on the deer, she conceived and delivered a baby girl. The baby was left in a pit of VaLLi roots. When the hunters discovered the baby and reared her, she was named VaLLi.

** PoyyAmozhi was a poet bent upon praising SivA only and was totally against Murugan. In an interesting episode, Murugan came in the disguise of a hunter with a spear, challenged the poet and eventually won him over.
