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

vEzham uNda viLA kani adhupOla: Like the viLAm fruit afflicted with the disease called vEzham*,

mEni koNdu viyApaka mayalURi: my body has become a mere shell, and lust has spread throughout the body.

nALu mindargaL pOl miga ayarvAgi: Everyday, my ignorance has grown stronger like the stupidity of fools, and I have become physically weaker.

nAnu naindhu vidAdh aruL purivAyE: Please do not let me deteriorate any further and bestow Your grace on me.

mALa andrama NeesargaL kazhu vERa: Once, the samaNa saints went to the gallows to die

vAdhil vendra sikAmaNi mayil veerA: after losing their debate with You, the victorious apostle of wisdom, (when You came as ThirugnAna Sambandhar and a warrior on the peacock)!

kALa kaNtan umApathi tharubAlA: You are the son of SivA, the consort of UmAdEvi, and who has a black stain of poison in His throat.

kAsi gangaiyil mEviya perumALE.: You have Your abode at KAsi**, on the banks of the Ganga river, Oh Great One!

* VEzham is a viral disease that affects the viLAm fruits drying up all the flesh inside, leaving the fruit as a mere shell.
