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

naraiyodu paR kazhandru thOl vatri: My black hair has turned gray; all my teeth have fallen; the skin of my body is full of wrinkles;

nadai aRa meththa nondhu kAleyththu: being unable to walk, my legs have become painfully weak;

nayanam irutti nindru kOlutru nadai thOyA: my eyes see only darkness having lost their vision; and I rely on a walking stick, tottering about.

nazhuvum vidakkai OndrupOl vaiththu: Wishfully thinking that my slippery and degenerating body of flesh is going to last for ever,

namadhena meththa vandha vAzhvutru: and that all my possessions will be mine for ever, I enjoyed the so-called comfortable life.

nadalai paduththum indha mAyaththai nagaiyAdhE: Ultimately, I have been subject to this misery and delusion. Rather than laughing off this plight,

viraiyodu patri vaNdu pAdutra mrigamadham appi vandha Odhikkum: (I indulged in) the fragrant hair of women soaked in musk, strong enough to attract humming beetles,

miLiru maiyaich cherindha vElgatkum: their spear-like showy eyes with a rich coat of mascara, and

vinaiyOdu migu kavinittu nindra mAdharkkum: deceitful harlots who stood showing off their overly made up face and figure;

idaipadu chiththam ondruvEn: tossed between these, my mind was torn apart by excessive lust.

utrun vizhumiya poRpadhangaL pAdaRku vinavAdhO: Will I not ever pause to contemplate and begin to sing the glory of Your hallowed feet lovingly?

uraiyodu sotrerindha mUvarkkum: The three great Saivite Poet-Patrons (namely, Appar, Sundarar and Sambandhar) knew not only the apppropriate words but also their meanings (the interpretation of Sivam and Shakti);

oLipeRa naRpadhangaL bOdhiththum: He illuminated them all by preaching the ManthrA, NamasivAya;

orupudai pachchai nangaiyOd utrum: He holds on one side of His body the emerald-green consort, PArvathi;

ulagUdE uRubali pichchai koNdu pOyutrum: He roams around the entire world gladly accepting the alms offered to Him;

uvari vidaththai uNdu sAdhiththum: the terrible poison, AlahAlam, that emerged from the milky ocean was imbibed by Him to demonstrate His Omnipotence and indestructibility to the world;

ulaviya muppurangaL vEviththum: He burnt down the three evil empires, Thiripuram, which were capable of flying in the sky;

uRanAgam araiyodu katti andhamAy vaiththum: as an elegant belt around His waist, He wears the poisonous snake;

avirsadai vaiththa gangaiyOd okka: to match the River Ganga adorning His tresses,

azhagu thiruththi indhu mEl vaiththum: He has decorated His matted hair with the crescent moon sitting pretty,

aravOdE aRugodu nochchi thumbai mElvaiththa: along with a snake, and placed the aRugam (cynodon) grass and flowers like nochchai and thumbai;

ariaya niththam vandhu pUjikkum: He is worshipped daily by Lords Vishnu and BrahmA;

ara nimalarkku nandri bOdhiththa perumALE.: He is that immaculate Lord SivA to whom You preached the most important ManthrA effectively, Oh Great One!
