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

thiru urUpa nErAka azhakathAna mA mAya thimira mOka mAnArkaL: These deer-like whores, whose beauty was comparable to that of Goddess Lakshmi, were very provocative, stimulating dark and delusory passion;

kalai mUdum sikari Udu thE mAlai adavi Udu pOy Avi serukum mAl anAsAra vinaiyEnai: I pursued immoral activities in a daze of fervour, with my life tangled in their bosom covered by blouse and dark forest-like hair adorned with nice garlands;

karu vizhAthu seer Othi adimai pUNalAmARu kanavil AL suvAmee: Oh Lord, You came in my dream and took charge of me so that I could sing Your glory as Your devoted slave, avoiding rebirth!

nin mayil vAzhvum karuNai vAri kUr Eka mukamum veera(m) mARAtha kazhalu(m) neepa vEl vAku(m) maRavEnE: Your majestic demeanor, mounted on the peacock, Your singular face* dazzling like a sea of compassion, Your hallowed feet with unswerving valour, the garland of kadappa flowers and the spear resting on Your shoulders will never be forgotten by me!

saruva thEva thEvAthi namasivAya nAmAthi sayila nAri pAka Athi puthalvOnE: He is the Lord of all the celestials; He is the Primordial One; He has the holy five-lettered name "NamasivAya"; in Him is concorporate the Goddess PArvathi, daughter of Mountain-King HimavAn; You are the son of that Foremost Lord SivA!

satha makee val pOr mEvu kulisa pANi mAl yAnai sakasamAna sAree sey iLaiyOnE: He has completed a hundred yajnAs (sacrifices); He has participated in many major battles; He holds the weapon vajra in His hand; You mount His huge elephant, AirAvadham, and usually stroll about, Oh Young Lord!

maruvu lOkam eerEzhum aLavida o(N)NAvAna varaiyil veesu thAL mAyan marukOnE: He stretched His leg to such a distance that no one in the fourteen worlds could discern the frontier; You are the nephew of that VishNu, Oh Lord!

manu niyAya sO(zha) nAdu thalaimai yAkavE mElai vayali meethu vAzh thEvar perumALE.: This ChOzhA kingdom was ruled by the most just king, Manu Neethi ChOzhan; for the upliftment of this kingdom, You came to MElai VayalUr** and chose it as Your abode; You are the Lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* This song refers to the vision granted by Lord Murugan to AruNagirinAthar with a singular face in VayalUr.

** VayalUr was the capital of Rajagembeera Nadu, a section of the ChOzha Nadu, where AruNagirinAthar got the boon of singing a Thiruppugazh daily.

** VayalUr is about 6 miles southwest of ThiruchirApaLLi.
