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

uRpAtham pUthak kAyaththE: This body is constituted by the five elements that could cause ill-omens;

oththu Odith thaththu iyal kAlai uL pUriththE satRE satRE ukkAriththu: to nurture that body, I managed to run along with it; whenever I faced perils, my heart filled up with worries and I used to bemoan little by little until my sobbing became loud;

aRputhan nErum aRpAy il thAy niRpAraip pOlap pAviththuth thirivEnukku: I pretended to act like people fully involved in family life and totally devoted to God;

appAsaththAl ettA appAlaip pOthaththaip purivAyE: kindly teach me the true knowledge that stands alone, way beyond the reach of all those worldly attachments!

poRpu Ar pon pAr puththELirkkAkap pOy muttik kiri sAdi: To help the DEvAs who used to live in the beautiful and golden celestial land, You went to the battlefield; You confronted the demons and knocked down the mount Krouncha;

pukku AzhicchUzh kittAkic chUr pottAkak kuththiya vElA: You entered the sea approaching the demon in disguise (as a mango tree) and wielded the spear piercing that SUran and smashing him to pieces, Oh Lord!

mun pAdap pAdu atRArukku Or muL kAdu aRkap poruL eevAy: When the Poet (PoyyAmozhi) first sang a song, there was a flaw in the meaning; You pointed out the flaw and offered him a revised song with correct meaning, Oh Lord!*

muththA muththee yaththA suththA: You are like a rare pearl! You are the deity in charge of three kinds of holy sacrificial fires**! You are impeccably pure!

muththA muththip perumALE.: You are totally detached! You are the only one that can grant us liberation, 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.

** Three kinds of holy fires as per the ancient Tamil Text ThirumurugAtRuppadai:

     YAgavaneeyam - Fire for offering sacrifices to obtain the VEdAs;
     DakshinAgni - Fire for offering sacrifices to the celestials;
     Karukapathyam - Fire for offering sacrifices for the prosperity of the earth.
