kalaka sampramaththAlE vilOsana malar sivanthidap pUN Aram Anavai kazhala vaNdu enac chAreeram vAyvida: Because of lover's squabble during love-making, the flower-like eyes of these women became red, the strings of pearls got disentangled and fell off and strange sounds like that of (the birds and) the beetles emanated from their throat;

apirAmak kana thanangaLil kOmALam Akiye pala nakam padac cheerOdu pEthaka karaNamum cheythu: looking at their heavy and beautiful bosom, I leapt about with elation; getting many nail-marks all over my body, I enjoyed a variety of carnal postures with them;

uL pAl URu thEn ithazh amuthu URal seluvi men paNaith thOLOdu thOL pora nilai kulainthu iLaiththu Er Akum Aruyir: imbibing the nectar of saliva gushing from their lips that touched my heart with a sweet taste like milk and honey, with my shoulders uniting with their soft bamboo-like shoulders, I lost my balance, and my precious and beautiful soul became very weak;

serukum unthiyil pOy veezhum mAl udan anurAkam theri kumaNdai ittu ArAtha sErvaiyil uruki mangaiyarkku ALAki Eval seythidinu(m) nin kazhal seer pAtha(m) nAn ini maRavEnE: falling upon their compact belly and exposing my passionate obsession exuberantly with my heart melting over the insatiable bliss of union, I have become a slave to these whores running their errands; nonetheless, I shall never forget Your hallowed feet that are adorned with valorous anklets, Oh Lord!

ulaka kaNdam ittu AkAsa mEl viri salathi kaNdidac chEr Ayam Am avarudan madinthidak kOpAlar sEriyil makavAyum uNar siRantha sakrAthAra nAraNan maruka: Notwithstanding the shredding of a pestle* into tiny bits and pieces and scattering the dust in the mid-sea over which the sky spread out, the death of the clan of shepherds en masse could not be avoided (because of a curse); He (KrishNa) was reared in the village of those shepherds; He is Lord NArAyaNan (VishNu) holding in His hand the Disc of Kowledge as a weapon; and You are His nephew, Oh Lord!

manthirak kApAliyAkiya uraka kangaNap pUthEsar pAlaka vayalUrA: He is the fundamental principle of the five-lettered ManthrA (NamasivAya); He holds in His hand the skull of Lord Brahma; He wears the serpent as a wristlet; He is the leader of the clan of Saivite-demons; and You are the son of that SivA, Oh Lord of VayalUr!

kolai tharum vi(l)laip pOr vEdar kO ena inaiyum am kuRap pAvAy viyAkulam vidu vidu enRu kaik kUr vElai Eviya iLaiyOnE: When the hunters confronted carrying in their hands the deadly weapons of bows and making a menacing noise, VaLLi who stood fearfully at the scene of their onslaught was consoled by You with these words "Oh beautiful damsel in distress, belonging to the KuRavAs, you give up your anguish forthwith" and then You wielded the sharp spear held in Your hand (on the hunters), Oh Young Lord!

viRal surumpu nal kree thEsi pAdiya virai sey pangayap pU Odai mEviya vijayamangalath thEvAthi thEvarkaL perumALE.: The valorous beetles in this place hum the RAgA Desi with tremendous effort; the waterfronts here are full of fragrant lotus; You are seated in this Vijayamangalam**; You are the Lord of the leaders of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* Once, a few boys of KrishNA's yAdhava clan dressed up a boy Samban, as a pregnant woman. They teased Sage DurvAsar asking him if the child would be a boy or a girl. Enraged DurvAsar cursed that a steel pestle would be born which would annihilate the entire yAdhava clan. When KrishNA heard about the curse arter the steel pestle was born, He scraped it into fine powder and poured it in mid-sea. Particles of the powder reached the shore and grew into wild weeds. Later, a riot broke out among the yAdhavas who fought plucking the weeds, stabbed and killed each other. One speck of the steel powder was swallowed by a fish that was caught by a hunter. When the hunter cut open the fish and found a sharp steel piece, he fixed it on the tip of his arrow. That is the arrow that killed KrishNA when He was reclining on a branch with His foot up as the hunter mistook KrishNA's foot for a bird.
