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

santhithoRum nANam inRi akam vAdi unthi poruLAka alaivEnO: Why am I shamelessly roaming about day in and day out with a depressed heart in search of food for the stomach?

sangai peRa nALum angam u(L)La mAthar thangaL vasamAki alaiyAmal: Everyday I am running about scared, under the spell of whores with beautiful bodies; saving me from such wandering,

suntharamathu Aka enthan vinai Eka sinthai kaLi kUra aruLvAyE: kindly bless me so that my splendour is enhanced, my past deeds are destroyed and my mind is elated!

thongu sadai meethu thingaL aNi nAthar mangai raNa kALi thalai sAya thonthi thimithOthi thantha thimithAthi enRu nadam Adum avar pAlA: When Lord SivA, who wears the crescent moon on His drooping and matted hair, danced to the meter of "thonthi thimithOthi thantha thimithAthi", KALi, the damsel who reigns in the battlefield, bowed Her head out of shame; You are the son of that Lord SivA!

thungam u(L)La vEdar thangaL kula mAthai mangaLam athAka aNaivOnE: You auspiciously hug VaLLi, the damsel reared by the illustrious hunters!

kantha murukEsa miNdu asurar mALa antha munai vEl ko(N)du eRivOnE: Oh KandhA, Oh Lord MurugA, You wielded Your sharp spear and destroyed the demons who closed in on You to fight aggressively!
