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

UnE thAnAy OyA nOyAl UsAdu UsaR kudilpENA: I always thought that this body of flesh is myself; endlessly ailing without any remission, I still cherished this mortal body of mine that swayed like a swing;

OthA mOthA vAthu AkAthE lOka AsAraththu uLam vERAy: without learning the texts, without being involved in religious debates and without conforming to ritualistic stipulations of this world, I wish my mind to be distinctly aloof;

nAnE neeyAy neeyE nAnAy: my inner soul should merge with the Supreme Soul, namely, You;

nAnA vEthap poruLAlum nAdA veedAy: I must seek You willingly by chanting several scriptures and then experience self-realisation;

eedERAthE nAyEn mAyak kadavEnO: am I, the lowly dog, destined to die without such insight?

vAnE kAlE theeyE neerE pArE pArukku uriyOnE: You manifest as the five elements, namely, the cosmos, air, fire, water and earth, and You belong to all the revered people of the world!

mAyA mAnE kOnE mAnAr vAzhvE kOzhik kodiyOnE: You are immortal and great, Oh King! You are the beloved consort of the deer-like damsels, VaLLi and DEvayAnai; You have raised the staff of the Rooster!

thEnE thEn neeL kAn ARAyveezh thEsu Ar sAraR giriyOnE: You are sweet as honey! You are seated in the bright hilly side (KundRakkudi*) where the long and wild river ThEnARu flows!

sEyE vELE pUvE kOvE thEvE thEvap perumALE.: Oh the son of Lord SivA, Lord Muruga, You are stunningly handsome, Oh Leader! Oh God, You are the lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* ThEnARu is the river that flows near KundRakkudi; hence this common song may be considered as referring to that place.
