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

karuththu ithap padu kAmA leelaikaL vithaththai naththiya veeNA veeNikaL: They are utterly vain women who solicit erotic acts that are pleasing to the mind;

kavattu viRpa(n)na mAyA vAthikaL pala kAlum karaiththu uraiththidu mOkA mOkikaL: possessing a devious intellect, they resort to sweet speech that causes dizziness; these passionate whores are capable of repeatedly speaking until they melt the listener's heart;

aLik kulap pathi kAr pOl OthikaL kadaik ka(N)Nin suzhalAyE pAzh padu vinaiyEnai: their hair is so dark like the black cloud that beetles swarm hovering over it; reeling from the captivating look of these whores through the corner of their eyes, I am stunned, falling a victim to my own past ill-fated deeds;

uraiththa puththikaL kELA neesanai avaththa(m) meththiya AsA pAsanai u(L)Laththil meyp poruL OrA mUdanai aruLAki: I am such a debased fellow who never listened to the advice of the elders; I am only interested in useless and lustful desires in which I indulge zealously; I am a stupid person who does not research in his mind what real truth is; kindly bless me with Your grace;

uyarcchi petRidu mElA mUthurai aLikku nal poruL AyE mAthava uNarcchi petRidavE nee thALiNai aruLvAyE: kindly turn me into an exalted and well-behaved person, like one who is referred to in the revered scriptures, by granting me Your hallowed feet so that I could obtain the great knowledge attainable only after a deep penance!

serukki vettiya theeyOr Am enum mathaththa thuttarkaL mA cUr Athiya sinaththar pattidavE vEl Eviya murukOnE: Those arrogant and evil demons, notorious for their wickedness, maimed their enemies and ran amok savagely, headed by their great leader SUran; he and his angry army of demons were destroyed when You wielded the spear, Oh Lord MurugA!

sivaththai utRidu thUyA thUyavar kathiththa muththamizh mAlAy Othiya sezhippai naththiya seelA veeRiya mayil veerA: You are the unblemished embodiment of the pure principle of SivA! You are the most virtuous One relishing the richness of the songs composed graciously by wise people in the three branches of Tamil, Oh valorous Lord who mounts the famous peacock!

varaith thavarkku arar cUlA pANiyar athik kuNaththu arar theerA theerar tham manaththu iyal padu njAnA thEsika vadivElA: He is the wisest of all the sages who are doing penance in the Mount KailAsh; and is also their God; He holds the trident in His hand; He is the most virtuous leader of the highest calibre; He has immense valour; in the mind of that Lord SivA, You prevail as the Great Master of Pure Knowledge, Oh Lord with the sharp spear!

varukkaiyin kani chARAy mElidu thazhaiththa seyththalai UdE pAy tharu maruththuvak kudi vAzhvE thEvarkaL perumALE.: In the fertile fields of this place Maruththuvakkudi*, the juice of jack fruits gushes amidst the crops, and You are seated here as its Treasure; You are the Lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!
