aNi vakuththuk ko(N)du sEmamAka mAlaiyil vanthu kAthikkanakkap paRaithAya aLAva neeL kana kAmar karuppu silai O(y)vu il vALikaL kaLiththup pora: He marches with His fleet and arrives in the early evening determined to kill; the beating of the drums intensifies and the sound reverberates everywhere; His tall, pretty and famous bow of sugarcane wields, with relish, the arrows on me ceaselessly as if to wage a war;
vAsam veesu vAr kuzhal mangaimArkaL kalaikkuL padum Aki mAyum athu unakkup priyamO kirupAkarA ithu kadakkappadu nAmam Ana njAnam athu enRu sErvEn: (because of that war,) I am left to die buried inside the attire of the whores whose hair is long and fragrant; is this what You wish, Oh Lord? When will I ever attain the illustrious state of knowledge that would enable me to bypass this fate of mine?
punaththil thinai kAvalAna kArikai thanap pon kuvadu Eyum mOka sAthaka kuniththap piRai cUdum vENi nAyakar nal kumArA: Your horoscope is such that Your desire is fulfilled, namely, hugging the beautiful and mountain-like bosom of VaLLi, the damsel who guarded the millet-field! You are the great son of Lord SivA who wears the crooked and crescent moon on His matted hair!

sinaththuk kadi veesi mOthu(m) mA kadal adaiththup pisitha asana Athi mA mudi theRikkak kaNai Evum veera mAmanum: He blocked the vast and angry sea that lashed the shore with rapid waves by building a bridge across it; the renowned and crowned heads of RAvaNan, the leader of the demons who devour flesh, were all severed by the arrows wielded by Him; He is Lord VishNu, Your valorous uncle;
unthi meethE seniththuc chathur vEtham Othu nAmanu(m) mathiththup pukazh sEvakA: He, along with Lord Brahma, who emerged from His belly, and who is famous for His dexterity in chanting the four VEdAs, hold Your valour in the highest esteem and praise You, Oh Lord!
