avasiya mun vENdip pala kAlum: For a long time I have been praying to You out of necessity.

aRivin uNarn dhANduk korunALil: Realising You in my mind, at least once a year,

thava jepamun theeNdik kanivAgi: I should assume all the ritualistic discipline and meditate, with my mind mellowing,

charaNam adhum pUNdaRk aruLvAyE: and keeping my mind on Your feet with Your graceful blessing.

savatha modun thANdith thagarUrvAy: You fulfilled Your vow of taming the Wild Goat* and mounted on it as a vehicle!

sadu samayang kANdaR kariyAnE: You are the rare principle behind the concept of six** sectors of our religion!

sivakumara anpeeNdiR peyarAnE: Oh Son of SivA, If anyone approaches You with love, You never part from that person!

thiru murugan pUNdip perumALE.: You have Your abode at ThirumuruganpUNdi***, Oh Great One!

* According to KandapurANam, once NArathar performed a sacrifice, and from the pyre came a Wild Goat which could not be controlled by anyone. Murugan asked His associate VeerabAhu to fetch the goat, vowing to restrain it. He then won over the goat and mounted on it.

** Six sectors are GANApathyam, Sauram, Saivam, VaishNavam, SAktham and KaumAram.

*** ThirumuruganpUNdi is 8 miles to the North of ThiruppUr.
