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

nirai tharu maNi aNi Arntha pUritha mrukamatha kaLapa akil sAnthu sEriya iLa mulai: Their youthful and robust breasts, adorned with ornaments made of precious gems neatly strung in a row, are smeared with a paste of musk, sandalwood powder and incence;

uram misai thOynthu mA malar aNai meethE nekizh thara arai thukil veezhnthu: when those breasts hug my chest on a comfortable flower-filled bed, the robe wrapped around the waist is loosened and falls (on the ground);

mA mathi mukam veyarvu ezha vizhi pAynthu vAr kuzhaiyodu pora iru karam Enthu neeL vaLai oli kUra: beads of perspiration appear on their moon-like face; their eyes, waging a war, leap up to the swinging studs on their ears; the large bangles on their arms rattle very noisily;

virai malar seRi kuzhal sAynthu nUpuram isai thara ilava ithazh mOnthu vAy amuthu iyalpodu parukiya vAnjaiyE tha(k)ka iyal nAdum vinaiyanai: their hair filled with fragrant flowers becomes dishevelled and begins to slide; the anklets (on their legs) make a jingling sound; I have been indulging in the bad deed of seeking, as if it were the righteous path, to kiss their reddish lips looking like the ilavam (silk-cotton) flower and sucking their nectar-like saliva like a ritual;

iru vinai eeNdum Azh kadal idar padu suzhi idai thAzhnthu pO(ku)m mathi iru kathi peRa aruL sErnthu vAzhvathum oru nALE: my intellect has been sinking to a low level in the miserable whirlpool of vice in this world besieged by good and bad deeds of this birth; will there be a day for me to see that my intellect attains salvation and thrives with Your gracious blessings?

parai apinavai sivai sAmpavee umai akilamum aruLa aruL Eyntha kOmaLi payiravi thiri purai Ayntha nUl maRai satha kOdi pakavathi: She is the Supreme Power; She never separates from Lord SivA; She is UmA DEvi, the source of energy of Sambu (SivA); She is the gracious beauty that kindly gave birth to the entire universe; She is terrific; She is older than the Trinity; She is Bagavathi who has done extensive research into hundreds of texts and treatises containing secret principles of preaching;

iru sudar Enthu kAraNi malaimakaL kavuri vithArntha mOkini padar sadaiyavan ida neengu uRAthavaL tharu kOvE: She is the primeval deity that wears the two sources of effulgence, namely the sun and the moon; She is Gowri, the daughter of King HimavAn of HimAlayAs; She is exquisitely beautiful taking many a form; She concorporates and never leaves the left side of Lord SivA whose hair is sprawling and matted; and You are the leader delivered by that PArvathi DEvi, Oh Lord!

kurai kadal maRukida mUNda cUrarkaL aNi keda nedu varai sAynthu thUL ezha mudukiya mayil misai Urnthu vEl vidu murukOnE: The roaring sea was agitated, the armies of the raging demons were destroyed and the huge mount Krouncha fell shattering to pieces as You mounted the speedy peacock and wielded the spear, Oh Lord MurugA!

kula naRai malar aLi cUzhnthu ulAviya mayilaiyil uRai tharu sEntha sEvaka kuka saravaNapava vAyntha thEvarkaL perumALE.: Oh MurugA, You are seated in this town Mylapore* where beetles abound swarming around flowers with quality honey; Oh valorous Lord GuhA, You were born in the SaravaNa pond; You are the Lord of the congenial celestials, Oh Great One!

* Mylapore (Thirumayilai), is in the heart of the city of Chennai.
