pattu maNik kacchu iRukak katti avizhththu uththariyap paththiyin muththuc cheRi veRpu iNaiyAm en paRpa(m) mukaik kuththu mulai: Making a tight knot in the beautiful silk blouse and untying it later, wearing a string of pearls right along the border of the upper garment, and displaying their sharp bosom that could be compared to the mountain and the lotus bud,

thaththaiyar kaip pukku vasap pattu urukik ketta vinaith thozhilAlE: these parrot-like whores have taken me over in their hands; falling a victim to their tight grip, I have been indulging, with a melting heart, in evil acts that add to my bad deeds;

thuttan enak kattan enap piththan enap prattan enac chutRum aRac chiththan enath thirivEnai: I have been branded as a wicked fellow, an ill-fated one, a lunatic, an unlawful person and one whose sinful thoughts wander everywhere; I roam about with all such blemishes;

thukkam aRuththuk kamalap pon patham vaiththup pathavic chuththi aNaip paththaril vaiththu aruLvAyE: kindly remove all my miseries by taking hold of me under Your hallowed feet and graciously handing me over to the company of Your devotees who have already reached the pure and exalted position, Oh Lord!

sutta poruL kattiyin meyc chekkamalap pon kodiyaith thukkam uRa: She has a body with the complexion of molten gold; She is none other than Goddess Lakshmi seated on a red lotus; She is like a beautiful creeper; agonising that Seethai,

sorkkam uRak kodi yAzhAr suththa rathaththil kodu pukkuk kadukith theR(ku)k kadaisic chutRu vanaththil siRaivaiththidu theeran: he abducted her, placing her on his pure chariot (called Pushpaka), that had a sky-high staff with the insignia of veeNA (a string instrument); he swiftly went in the southerly direction and placed her in a remote prison called ashOkavanam (forest of ashOkA trees), shaped like a crescent; he was the mighty warrior, RAvaNan;

kottam aRap putRu aravac chetRam aRac chaththam aRak kutRam aRac chutRam aRap pala thOLin kotRam aRap paththu mudik koththum aRuththitta thiRal kotRar paNik kottai nakarap perumALE.: destroying his arrogance, eradicating his anger which was like that of a serpent seething fiercely from its putRu (a mound formed by snakes as their resting place), silencing his voice, removing his blemishes, annihilating all his kith and kin, upsetting the valour of his several shoulders and severing his ten heads, He established His bravery; that victorious RAmA (VishNu) worshipped You with devotion in KottaiyUr* which is Your abode, Oh Great One!

* KottaiyUr is near KumbakONam. It is in KottaiyUr that Lord VishNu is said to have offered worship to Lord Murugan.
