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

neela mukil Ana kuzhal Ana madavArkaL thana nEyam athilE thinamum uzhalAmal: I do not wish to roam about daily hankering after the bosom of women with hair like the dark cloud;

needu puvi Asai poruL Asai maruL Aki alai neeril uzhal meen athu ena muyalAmal: nor do I wish to exert myself like the wandering fish in the wavy sea in delusory pursuit of desire for a large landed property and material things;

kAlanathu nA arava vAyil idu thErai ena kAyam maruvu Avi vizha aNukA mun: the daunting speech of Yaman (the God of Death) will be like the cobra in whose mouth my life shall be a frog-like prey; before my life falls into his hands and before he even comes near me,

kAthaludan Othum adiyArkaLudan nAdi oru kAl muruka vEL enavum aruL thArAy: kindly bless me to join the company of Your devotees who praise Your glory with love and to say, along with them, at least once, "Oh Lord MurugA!"

sOlai paraN meethu nizhalAka thinai kAval puri thOkai kuRa mAthinudan uRavAdi: She stood under the shadow of the bamboo platform built at a height in the millet-field in VaLLimalai and guarded the crop; she looked like a peacock; You developed a relationship with that kuRavA damsel, VaLLi;

sOran ena nAdi varuvArkaL vana vEdar vizha sOthi kathir vEl uruvu(m) mayil veerA: when the hunters from the forest came chasing you thinking that you were a thief, You wielded Your dazzling spear and knocked them all dead, Oh valorous One mounted on the peacock!

kOla azhal neeRu punai Athi saruvEsarodu kUdi viLaiyAdum umai tharu sEyE: He is the primordial One wearing the beautiful holy ash (vibhUthi) which is powerful as fire, in scorching all the deeds; He is Lord SivA with whom Goodess UmAdEvi plays around; You are Her Son, Oh Lord!

kOdu muka Anai piRakAna thuNaivA kuzhakar kOdi nakar mEvi vaLar perumALE.: You are the younger brother of GaNapathi, with an elephant face and a prominent tusk! You have chosen KOdi* as Your abode where Lord SivA has a seat with the name Kuzhakar, Oh Great One!

* KOdi is also known as KuzhakarkOvil, situated 5 miles south of VedAraNyam.
