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

mathana thanu nikar idaikkE manam uruka varu pidi nadaikkE iru vanasa paripura malarkkE: On the barely visible waistline that is like the imperceptible body of Manmathan (God of Love), on the heart-melting gait like that of the she-elephant, on the lotus-like pair of feet wearing the anklets,

mathukaram vAzhum vakuLa mrukamatha mazhaikkE maNi makaram aNi a(n)na kuzhaikkE mada makaLir mukuLitha mulaikkE: on the dark cloud-like long hair wearing makizham flower and musk, around which beetles swarm, on the gem-embedded swinging ear-studs that look like the makara fish, on the bud-like rounded bosom of the young women,

kadal amuthu URum atharam mathura itha mozhikkE kuzhai aLavum aLaviya vizhikkE thaLavu anaiyathu oru siRu nakaikkE: on the gushing saliva that fills their mouth that is sweet like the nectar in the milky ocean, on their sweet speech, on their eyes that leap right up to the swinging ear-studs, on their matchless smile that looks like the jasmine,

pani mathi pOlum azhaku thikazh tharu nuthaRkE anavaratham avayavam anaiththUdinum avasam uRum mayal thavirththu ALvathum oru nALE: on their beautiful forehead that looks like the cool crescent moon and on every organ and limb of these women, I have been, at all times, charmed with obsessive passion; will there be a day when You will remove that madness of mine and take me over, Oh Lord?

uthathi puthaipada adaiththu Athavan nikar il irathamum vidukkA nakar oru nodiyil veyil ezhac chAnaki thuyar theera: The sea was arrested and buried under and the unique chariot of the sun was banned from entering the city of LankA; in that town, making the rays of the bright sunshine re-enter in a second and putting an end to the suffering of JAnaki,

upaya oru pathu varaith thOLkaLu(m) nisisararkaL pathi thasa kreevamum uruLa oru kaNai theriththAnu(m): He (RAmA) wielded His unique arrow knocking down the twenty mountain-like shoulders and severing the ten necks of RAvaNan, the leader of the demons; He is Lord VishNu;

mavuna njAna thitham il avuNar tham iruppAkiya puramum eri ezha muthal pUthara thilatha(m) kulakiri vaLaiththAnum makizha: Thiripuram*, the dwelling place of the demons who lacked serenity, knowledge and stability, was burnt down and destroyed when He bent as a bow the great Mount MEru, which is the primal mountain of all mountains and the most distinct one like the mark on the forehead; that Lord SivA (along with Lord VishNu) became exhilarated;

vAnOr thiruva nakar kudi puka seekara(m) makara(m) salam muRai idac cUrodu sikara kiri podipadas sAdiya perumALE.: the celestials were resettled in their golden land; the seas filled with waves and the makara fish roared in appeal; and the demon SUran and his seven mountains with all their peaks were smashed to pieces when You attacked with Your spear, Oh Great One!

* The demons in Thiripuram were unconquerable unless they gave up their daily worship of Lord SivA. Realising this, Lord VishNu went to Thiripuram in the disguise of a Buddhist monk accompanied by NArathar as His disciple. They enchanted the demons in Thiripuram to such an extent that they neglected their daily worship of SivA. That was the moment when Lord SivA burnt Thiripuram down; only three demons who continued their worship of SivA were spared.
