kAthOdu thOdu ikali vizhi vAL suzhala kOlAkalam Ara mulai mAr puthaiya pUN akala kArOdu kUda aLaka pAra(m) malarOdu alaiya: Their eyes rolled like a sword leaping combatively up to the stud on the ears; their breasts wearing sophisticated string of pearls covered their chest; the ornaments moved aside and their cloud-like hair wearing flowers fluttered about;

aNai meethE kAlOdu kAl ikali Ada pari nUpuramodu EkAsamAna udai veesi idai nUl thuvaLa: on the bed, their leg intertwined with their suitor's leg and shook; the anklets and the attire worn by them were spun off; their thread-like slender waist gave way;

kAveeramAna ithazh URal thara nEra(ya)m ena mida(R)Ru Othai nAthAna keetha kuyil pOla alkul mAl puraLa mArpOdu thOL karamodu Adi mika nAN azhiya: their lips looking like the red flower offered their saliva; as if to demonstrate their love, the crooning that emanated from their throat sounded like the melodious music of the cuckoo; their genital became exhilarated; their chest, shoulders and arms interlocked with one another and shook to the point that modesty was destroyed;

nAnA vinOtham uRa mAtharodu kUdi mayal paduvEnai: I have been having fun in so many ways copulating with girls and becoming dazed with passion;

nAn Aru nee evan enAmal enathu Avi kavar seer pAthamE kavalaiyAyum u(n)navE nithamu(m) nAthA kumAra murukA enavum Otha aruL purivAyE: oh Lord, do not differentiate between me and You as if we are two individuals; kindly grant me the only concern of meditating upon Your hallowed feet that enchant my life and graciously make me praise You everyday praying "Oh Master, Oh KumArA and Oh MurugA!"

pAthALa sEdan udal Ayira(m) paNA makuda(m) mA mEru odE Ezhu kadal Otha(m) malai cUrar udal pAzhAka thULi vi(N)Nil ERa puvi vAzhavidu sudar vElA: The body of the Serpent AdhisEshan in the netherworld, his thousand crowned-hoods, Mount MEru, the deluge in the seven seas, Mount Krouncha and the bodies of the demons were all destroyed and the resultant dust soared up and settled in the sky when You wielded the bright spear to rescue the world, Oh Lord!

pAl Azhi meethu aravin mEl thiruvodE amaLi sEr neela rUpan vali rAvaNa kuzhAm iriya pAr Evai Eviya murAri aivar thOzhan ari marukOnE: He is the blue-hued Lord who, along with Lakshmi, slumbers on the Serpent-bed (AdhisEshan) over the milky ocean; He (coming as RAmA) wielded an arrow on this earth that scared away the mighty RAvaNan and his clan who went fleeing; He (coming as KrishNA) is the enemy of the demon Muran and the great friend of the five PANdavAs; and You are the nephew of that Lord VishNu!

mAthA purAri sukavAri parai nAri umai AkAsa rUpi apirAmi valam mEvum sivan mAdu ERi Adum oru nAthan makizh pOtham aruL gurunAthA: She is the Mother who burnt down Thiripuram; She is the sea of bliss; She is the Supreme Deity, the Queen of all women, UmA DEvi; the sky is the form of this exquisitely beautiful PArvathi on whose right side Lord SivA is concorporate; He mounts the bull (Nandi) as His vehicle and dances upon it; He is the matchless leader, and You graciously preached to Him, to His elation, the fundamental principle of Knowledge, Oh Master!

vAnOrkaL eesan mayilOdu kuRa mAthu maNavALA kukA kumara: You married the Divine Peacock, DEvayAnai, reared by Indra, the leader of the celestials; You are also the consort of VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs, Oh GuhA, Oh KumarA!

mA mayilin meethu thiru mAkALa mA nakaril mAlodu adiyAr paravu perumALE.: Mounting the famous peacock You are seated with relish in the town, ThirumAkALam; Your devotees prostrate at Your feet and worship You, Oh Great One!
