adai padAthu nAL thORum idai vidAthu pO(ku)m vAyu adaiya meeLil: If the air that is freely exhaled nonstop every day could be contained without total waste by reining it in and retaining it inside the body (kumbakam*),

veedu Akum ena nAdi aruL peRA anAsAra karuma yOki AkAmal: one could attain spiritual liberation (Jeevan mukthi); without carefully researching this fact, and obtaining Your blessing, I do not wish to be an indisciplined yogi of karma (practitioner of actions) and waste my life;

avani meethil OyAthu thadumARum: I do not wish to wander in this world recklessly all the time;

udalam vERu yAn vERu karaNam vERu vERAka uthaRi: I wish to clearly distinguish between my body, myself and my inner faculties (such as mind, intellect, will and arrogance) and then renounce all of them;

vAsaka atheetha adiyUdE uruki: I wish to prostrate with melting heart at Your feet which are beyond the description by words;

Ariya AsAra parama yOki AmARum: in order that I follow the sacred and righteous path and become a supreme practitioner of Siva-yOgA,

un upaya pAtha rAseekam aruLvAyE: kindly bestow on me the royal bliss of Your hallowed feet!

vada parArai mA mEru kiri edA nadA: The huge mountain MEru in the north with a large base was fixed (as the churning axle);

makuda vAL arA nOva mathiyam nOva: resulting in extreme pain to VAsuki, the serpent with bright gem-studded hoods, (that was used as the churning rope) and to the moon (used as a fulcrum),

vAreesa vanithai mEvum thOL Ayiramum nOva kadaiyum Athi gOpAlan maruka: He churned the seas with His thousand** aching shoulders - which shoulders are the favourite of Goddess Lakshmi seated on the lotus; He is the primordial Lord Gopalan (VishNu); and You are His nephew!

cUli kApAli puthalva kAna vEl vEdar kodi kOvE: You are the son of Lord SivA who holds in His hands the trident and the skull of Lord BrahmA; You are the Lord of VaLLi, the creeper-like damsel of the spear-wielding hunters;

kanaka lOka bUpAla sakala lOka AthAra: You are the King who protected the golden celestial land and You are the source and origin of all the worlds!

karuNai mEruvE thEvar perumALE.: Your compassion is huge like the Mount MEru, and You are the Lord of the celestials, Oh Great One!

** When the celestials and the demons gave up churning the milky ocean, Lord VishNu churned it Himself using His thousand shoulders.
