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

vidamum vEl a(n)na malar a(n)na vizhikaLum irathamE tharum amuthu enum mozhikaLum: Because of their flower-like poisonous eyes looking like the spear, their nectar-like sweet and delicious speech and

virakinAl ezhum iru thana vakaikaLum itham Adi: their pleasurable bosom that swell with great enthusiasm,

mikavum ANmaiyum ezhil nalam udaiyavar vinaiyum Aviyum udan iru valai idai veLiyilE pada visiRiya vishamikaLudan mEvA idar uRAthu: these haughty whores go about looking very beautiful; in the large net cast by them, my past deeds and life are together ensnared explicitly; to retrieve me from the miserable company of such mischievous net-casters,

unai ninaipavar thuNai koLLa inimai pOl ezhu piRavi enum uvariyin idai kedAthu ini iru vinai izhivinil azhiyAthE: to let me join the company of the devotees who meditate upon You, to escape from drowning in the seas of seven births that superficially look blissful and to save me henceforth from the debilitating effects of the two deeds (good and bad),

*imaiyavar munivarkaL kakana pUpathi idar keda aruLiya iRai: Oh Lord who graciously removed the miseries of the celestials, the sages and IndrA, the leader of the DEvAs,

isaiyil nAL thoRum* nin ARiru puyam ena urai seya aruLvAyE: kindly bless me too to praise the glory of Your twelve hallowed shoulders everyday with music!

padarum mArpinil irupathu puyam athodu ariya mAmaNi mudi eLir oru pathu padiyilE vizha oru kaNai thodupavar: His (RAvaNan's) twenty shoulders adjoining his broad chest and his matchless ten heads wearing crowns embedded with the rarest gems were knocked down to the earth by the peerless arrow wielded by Him;

idam ArAy paravai Udu eri pakazhiyai vidupavar: biding His time, He carefully chose an opportune moment to shoot a fiery arrow upon the sea;

paravuvAr vinai keda aruL uthaviyE paravu pAl kadal aravu aNai thuyilpavar marukOnE: He showers His gracious blessing on the devotees who praise His glory and destroys their past deeds; He slumbers on the serpent, AdhisEshan, on the wide milky ocean; You are the nephew of that Lord VishNu!

adaravE varum asurarkaL kuruthiyai arakarA ena alakaikaL pali uNNa: The blood gushing from the bodies of the confronting demons was devoured by the devils who hailed it as their food amidst their shrieks of "Hara, HarA!";

alaiyum vElaiyum alaRida ethir poru mayil veerA: and the wavy seas roared in rapture when You fought the war, mounted on the peacock, Oh Brave One!

amarar Athiyar idar pada adar tharu kodiya thAnavar thiripuram eri seytha athikai mA nakar maruviya: You have Your abode in this big town, Thiruvathikai**, that witnessed the burning of Thiripuram where the evil demons once lived and ganged up aggressively to torture the celestials and others!

sasi makaL perumALE.: You are the Lord of DEvayAnai, the daughter of Sasi (whose consort is IndrA), Oh Great One!

* The words "isaiyil nAL thoRum" have been transposed for the sake of meaning.

** The place where Lord SivA burnt down Thiripuram happens to be Thiruvathikai which is in Cuddalore District, 2 miles southeast of PaNNurutti Railway Station.
