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

pAravitha muththap padeera puLakap pon payOthara nerukku utRa idaiyAlE: Their beautiful and exhilarating breasts are heavy, wearing a string of pearls and smeared with sandalwood paste; their tight waistline is slender;

pAku aLavu thiththiththa keetha mozhiyil putpa pANa vizhiyil poththi vidu(m) mAthar: their musical speech is sweet like the molten jaggery; their eyes impinge like the flowery arrows of Manmathan (God of Love); with all these, the whores provoke passion and trap their suitors;

kAr aNi kuzhal katRai mEl makaram oppiththa kAthil muka vattaththil athi mOka kAmukan: by their tuft of hair looking like the dark cloud, their ears wearing the swinging studs looking like the makara fish and their round faces, I have been exceedingly enchanted;

akappatta Asaiyai maRappiththa kAlkaLai maRakkaikkum varumO thAn: the locked-in obsessive passion of mine has been totally eradicated by Your hallowed feet, and how could I ever forget those feet?

thEril ravi utkip pukA muthu puraththil thesAsiranai marththiththa ari mAyan seer maruka: In the old country of LankA, the Sun was scared to enter and drive his chariot* (being terrified of RAvaNan); He bewildered that RAvaNan of ten heads and chopped him to pieces; and You are the famous nephew of that mystic Lord VishNu, Oh Lord!

athyukra yAnai padum rathna thri kONa sayilaththu ukra kathirkAma veera: There are ferocious elephants roaming about in ThirukkONamalai and hot KathirgAmam where precious gems could be found, and You have chosen those places as Your abode, Oh valorous One!

puna veRpil kalApi enac chikku mEkalai idaik koththil iru thALin vEri mazhaiyil pacchai vEyil aruNak katRai vElkaLil akappatta perumALE.: VaLLi, the peacock-like damsel of the hunters, lives in the millet-field of Mount VaLLimali; and You have been ensnared by her waistline wearing the mEkalai (waistband), by her two petite feet, by her fragrant cloud-like hair, by her soft shoulders like green bamboo and by her spear-like eyes with reddish rays, Oh Great One!

* On the command of RAvaNan, the terrified sun never used to drive his chariot through the city of LankA.
