cUthaththil kAmani (n) irAsatha vizhiyAlE: those eyes look treacherous as if they have taken in the aggressive attribute of Manmathan (God of Love);

sOdu utRath thAmarai mA mukai pOlak kaRpUram aLAviya thOl muththuk kOdu ena veeRiya mulai mAnAr: these whores are endowed with raised-up twin-bosom, looking like buds of the lotus and ivory tusks of the elephant, protruding from the skin of their chest smeared with camphorated paste and adorned with pearl necklace;

kUdac chikkAyavar UzhiyamE patRik kAthalin Odiya kULa (nai) siththu ALanai mULanai vinaiyEnai: being ensnared by these whores, I have been serving them ardently all the time; I am whiling away my time uselessly turning into rubbish; I am running errands, my actions are small-minded; I am tormented by my past deeds;

kOpiththuth thAy ena nee oru pOthaththaip pEsa athAl aruL kOdiththuth thAna adiyEn adi peRa vENum: You should reprimand me like a mother; You should then preach to me the true and matchless knowledge enabling me to praise Your glory in worship and obtain Your hallowed feet!

vEdikkaikkAra uthAra kuNA pathmath thAraNi kAraNa: You have performed several amusing deeds playfully; You have enormous compassion; You are the Primordial Principle, wearing a garland of lotus!

makAratha cUrarkku cUranai vEl vidu vEzhaththil seer aruL URiya iLaiyOnE: You wielded the spear upon the demon SUran, who surpassed all demons who were themselves expert-charioteers! You are seated on the elephant AirAvatham exuding grace, Oh Young one!

Adath thakkAr umai pAthiyar vEthap pon kOvaNa Adaiyar Aliththuth thAn aruL URiya murukOnE: He is an eminent dancer; on His side is UmAdEvi concorporate; He wears the scriptures as His elegant loin-cloth; that Lord SivA graciously delivered You, in elation, as His Son, Oh MurugA!
