ilaku kuzhai kizhiya Udu pOy ulavi adara varu mathana nUl aLAvi ethir iLainjar uyir kavara Asai nEr valai pothintha neelam: Their eyes, looking like the blue lily, swiftly leap up to the ears as if they are about to attack the elegant ear-studs swinging there; those eyes appear to have researched into erotic art, looking like an enticing net, spread specially to grab the lives of young men;

inimai karai puraLa vAku ulAvu sari neRivu kalakala ena vAsam veesum kuzhal iruLin muka nilavu kUra: their sweetness gushes like the flood breaking the boundaries; the varieties of bangles in their arms make a jingling sound; against the backdrop of their dark and fragrant hair, their face rises like the bright and radiant moon;

mAN udai akanRu pOka malaiyum ithazh paruki vEdai theera: their nice attire becomes loosened; imbibing the saliva oozing from their confronting lips, the thirst of passion is quenched;

udal iRuka iRuki anurAka pOka mika vaLarum iLa thana pAram meethinil muyanguvEnai: tightly hugging the bodies of the whores, the pleasure derived from passion soars unabatedly as I embrace their melting bosom;

mathura kavi adaivu pAdi veedu aRivu muthira ariya thamizhOsai Aka oLi vasanam udaiya vazhipAdu sErum aruL thanthidAthO: to make me sing all the sweet songs that give me the Knowledge of heavenly bliss and to enable me to compose rare music in Tamil, will You not kindly bless me so that I might reach the righteous path where I could offer worship with words of wisdom?

kalaka asurar kiLai mALa mEru kiri thavidu pada uthira Ola vAri alai kathaRa: The warring multitude of demons was destroyed; Mount MEru was shattered to pieces; the waves of the sea, filled with floods of blood, roared loudly;

vari aravam vAy vidA pasi thaNintha pOkak kalapa mayilin misai ERi vEtha neRi paravum amarar kudiyERa: mounting Your happy peacock, having satiated its hunger as evidenced by the striped serpent hanging from its beak, You enabled the celestials, devoted to the righteous path laid out in the scriptures, to resettle in their golden world;

nALum viLai kadiya kodiya vinai veezha vElai vida vantha vAzhvE: You came to this world to destroy the evil deed, that recurs everyday, by wielding Your spear, Oh my Treasure!

alakaiyudan nada(na)m athu Adum thAthai sevi niRaiya mavuna uraiyAdu(m) neepa: He dances with the devils; He is Your Father; and filling the ears of that Lord SivA, You preached the silent ManthrA, Oh Master! You wear the garland of the kadappa flowers!
