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

kongu ulAviya kuzhalinu(m) nizhalinu(m) nanju aLAviya vizhiyinum iraNiya kunRu pOl vaLar mulaiyinu(m) nilaiyinu(m) madamAthar kompu sErvana idaiyinu(m) nadaiyinu(m): In their fragrance-filled hair and in its lustre, in their poison-filled eyes, in their bosom that bulges like a golden mountain and in its firmness, in the creeper-like slender waist of the whores, in their gait,

anpu kUrvana mozhiyinum ezhil kudi koNda sEy ithazhinu(m) nakaiyinu(m) manathu Aya sangaiyALiyai aNu idai piLa aLavu in sol vAsaka mozhivana ivai ila sampra thAyanai avalanai: in their speech full of love, in the nectar-like saliva, gushing from their red lips where beauty resides, and in their smile, my mind leaps obsessively; I am not accustomed to speak sweetly even to the extent of an atom or a miniscule part of it; I am a total waste;

oLi thikazh isai kUrum thaNdai nUpuram aNukiya iru kazhal kaNdu nAL avam mikai aRa vizhi aruL thantha pEr aruL kanavilum nanavilum maRavEnE: (despite my shortcomings,) You graciously and compassionately glanced at me granting the vision of Your two hallowed feet wearing the dazzling and musical anklets so that my living days are not wasted any more; and I shall never forget even in my dreams Your great mercy, Oh Lord!

vanga vArithi muRai ida nisisarar thunga mA mudi podipada vada anal mangi neeRu ezha alakaikaL nadam ida mayil ERi vanja vEl ko(N)du munipava: The sea on which ships sail roared in pain; the tall and big crowns worn by the demons were shattered to pieces; the glowing inferno (vadamukAgni) that burns in the North at the end of the aeon was extinguished and turned to ashes; and the devils danced in ecstacy when You, mounting the peacock, angrily wielded the spear that killed the evil demons with a vengeance, Oh Lord!

azhakiya saNpai* mA nakar uRaiyum or aRu muka vantha vAnavar manathinil idar keda ninaivOnE: Oh Lord with six hallowed faces, You are seated in this beautiful place SaNbai (SeekAzhi)! Your benevolent thought removed the mental distress of all celestials who surrendered to You seeking refuge, Oh Lord!

panga veeriyar paRi thalai virakinar minju pAthakar aRa neRi payan ilar pantham mEviya pakadikaL kapadikaL nilai kEdar paNpu ilAthavar kolai seyum manathinar: Those samaNAs were defeated despite their apparent strength; they used to pluck the hair of their leader with enthusiasm; they were excessive sinners; they never trod the righteous path nor did they derive any benefit in their pursuit; they were hypocrites bound by their own attachment; they were treacherous, devoid of goodness and characterless; they never hesitated in indulge in murderous crimes;

ingu e(N)NAyirar uyariya kazhu misai panja pAthakar munai keda aruLiya perumALE.: here, in Madhurai, those samaNAs numbering eight thousand were sent to the tall gallows, losing their premier position sins due to their committing the five heinous sins when You graciously came (as ThirugnAnasambandhar), Oh Great One!
