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

piRaviyAna jadam iRangi: I descended into this body in this birth;

vazhi ilAdha thuRai seRindhu: I pursued all ways except the right one;

piNigaLAna thuyar uzhandru thadumARi: I endured the misery, reeling under all diseases;

perugu theeya vinaiyi nondhu: I suffered due to my going from bad to worse;

gathigaL thORum alai porundhi: in all my births I was subject to aimless drifting;

pidi padAdha janana nambi azhiyAdhE: and I am still unable to understand the significance of birth. I do not want to be destroyed believing in this kind of birth.

naRai vizhAdha malar mugandha: There are bunches of flowers filled with honey (at Your feet);

ariya mOna vazhi thiRandha: and the path to the unique Silence (MOnam) opens up

naLina pAdham enadhu chinthai agalAdhE: Your lotus feet; and my mind should never leave those feet.

narar surAdhiparum vaNangum iniya sEvai thanai: Your sweet vision sought by men and the leaders of DEvAs

virumbi nalanadhAga adiyan endru peRuvEnO: should be my objective. When will I get it?

poRi vazhAdha munivar: The great sage (Nakkeerar) who had absolute control over his perceptory senses

thangaL neRi vazhAdha pilan uzhandru: (although imprisoned in a cave) never failed to observe his daily rites even while suffering in the cave.

poru nisAcha ranai ninaindhu vinainAdi: He had to find a way to win over the rebellious devil* haunting him.

poruv ilAmal aruL purindhu mayilinEri nodiyil vandhu: You showed incomparable compassion on him and came on Your peacock in an instant (to kill that devil)

puLaga mEva thamizh punaindha murugOnE: and accepted, with glee, his Tamil composition (ThirumurugAtRuppadai), Oh Muruga!

siRuvarAgi iruvar: The twin boys Lava and Kucha (sons of Sri Rama)

andha kari padhAdhi kodu porun sol: fought with armies of elephants and soldiers, uttering brave words,

silai irAman udan edhirndhu samarAdi: and battled against Sri Rama, with His bow KothaNdam,

jeyam adhAna nagar amarndha aLagaipOla vaLamigundha: to claim victory in this place SiRuvai**, which is as prosperous as ALagApuri, the Capital of KubEran (God of Wealth).

siRuvai mEvi vara migundha perumALE.: You grant plenty of boons from Your abode at SiRuvai**, Oh Great One!

* When Nakkeerar was imprisoned in a cave, a she-devil with horse's face haunted him, and Murugan rescued Nakeerar.

** SiRuvai is on the route between Chennai and AaraNi, about 7 miles west of PonnEri.
It is also known as SiRuvarambEdu as it is believed that young boys, LavA and KuchA, sons of Rama, fought here with bows and arrows. This place houses a special temple for Murugan.
