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

sitRu Ayak kUttath therivaiyar viththAras sUzhcchik kayal vizhi satRu ERap pArththu: These whores are surrounded by a small group of maids; they look up with their wide and treacherous eyes, that are like the kayal fish,

sila paNividai Evic chil thApaththu Akkaip poruL kodu piththu ERik kUppittavar parisu ettAmal thUrththaththu alaipadu siRu kAlai: and command them to carry out a few errands; they sell their body, converting it to cash, to quench the trifling thirst of passion; they lift up the level of obsessive passion in their suitors; the lack of resources to satisfy the monetary demand of these whores leads to much roaming about in destructive paths during the youthful days;

utRAr petRArkkup perithu oru patRAyap pUttuk kayiRu kodu: one is attached through the strong bond of love, like a rope, to close relatives and friends as well as to parents;

ucchAyaththu Akkaith thozhilodu thadumARi ukkAriththu EkkatRu: one toils with the body carrying out the duties of a great career concentrating on the work, makes a lot of noise, tires out and feels miserable;

uyir nazhuvik kAy ath theep pattu eri udal ukkEn meykku Attaith thavirvathum oru nALE: ultimately, life slips from the body which is laid on a burning pyre in the cremation ground; not having found any means of getting rid of the body, will there be a day when I can put an end to all the flurry of activities of this body?

vatRA mutRAp pacchiLa mulaiyil pAl kaip pArththuth tharum oru maik kAmak kOttak kula mayil tharu pAlA: Her breasts never dry up nor are they full-blown; they are fresh and young; She breast-fed You with tender care; She is the matchless One having eyes painted with black pigment; She is the peacock-like Goddess KAmAkshi seated in the sacred temple of KAmakOttam; You are Her child, Oh Lord!

maththu Osaip pOkkil thayir uRi neyp pAlukku Aycchikku iru patham vaiththu Adik kAttip paruku ari marukOnE: He could follow the trail of the sound of the milk-churner and knew where his favourite curd, refined butter, and milk were stored on the hanger from the roof; He danced in front of His mother YasOdhai with His hallowed feet impressing her with all the dances He knew and ate all that curd and other things; You are the nephew of that KrishNA (Lord VishNu)!

kal thA vil kAttik karai thuRai natRAyil kAttip pukazh kalai katRAr sol kEdkath thani vazhi varuvOnE: Displaying Your mountain-like strong bow, You confronted the learned poet PoyyAmozhi in a lonely track in a forest to listen to his poem composed in the great branch of "natRay irangal" (where the heroine's mother laments to the hero about the agony of separation of her daughter), Oh Lord!*

kaic cUlak kUtRaik kaNai mathanaith thUL pattu Arppa kanal pozhi karththAvukku ERkap poruL aruL perumALE.: He is the leader who showered fiery sparks of anger on the screaming Yaman (God of Death), holding a trident in his hand, and Manmathan (God of Love), holding flowery arrows in his hand; that Lord SivA listened to You ardently when You preached the meaning of PraNava ManthrA to Him, Oh Great One!

* PoyyAmozhi was a poet bent upon praising only SivA and was totally against Murugan. In an interesting episode, Murugan came in the disguise of a hunter with a spear, encountered the poet in a forest, challenged him for a debate and eventually won him to His side.
