Uma raiprasiththa renRu: Calling dumb ones as famous lords,

mUda raichcha marththa renRum: calling utter fools intelligent,

Una raipra pukka LenRum aRiyAmaR: and calling people with defective limbs as handsome lords, I was carrying on stupidly;

kOla muththa mizhpra pantha mAla rukku raiththu: and I was saying such things to these aggrandized fools, wasting on them beautiful poems from the three branches of Tamil.

anantha kOdi yicchai seppi vampil uzhalnAyEn: I was feeling like a lowly dog as I narrated millions of my desires to these people and roaming about as a wastrel;

kOpa matRu matRu mantha mOka matRu: I want to give up anger; and further, I want to steer clear of my desires.

unaippa NinthukUdu thaRku muththi yenRu tharuvAyE: When are You going to grant me Liberation so that I could prostrate before You and attain Your lotus feet?

vAlai thurkkai sakthi yampi: She is ever youthful; She is Durga; She is Sakthi; She is the Mother of the Universe;

lOka kaththar piththar pangil: She forms the left half of the body of SivA, who is the crazy Lord of the worlds;

mAthu petRe duththu kantha siRiyOnE: and that PArvathi delivered You happily, Oh Young One!

vAri pottezha kravunjam veezha: The seas dried up while Mount Krouncha was shattered

netta yitRu rantha: when You threw Your long spear!

vAkai maRpu ya: You were victorious! Your shoulders are strong and ask out for wrestling!

pra saNda mayilveerA: Your valour is world famous! You mount Your brave Peacock!

gnAla vatta mutRa vuNdu: He devoured the entire world and other planets;

nAka meththai yitRu yinRa: He slumbers on the thick bed of AdhisEshan (Serpent);

nAra NaRka rutsu rantha marukOnE: and He is NArAyanan (Vishnu). You are His kind nephew who bestowed grace on Him!

nAlu thikkum vetRi koNda sUra pathma naikka Laintha: SUra Pathman, who had conquered all worlds in all the four directions, succumbed to You in the battlefield!
