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

minninil nadukkam utRa nuNNiya nusuppil muththa veN nakaiyil: In their slender waist that quivers like lightning, in their white pearl-like teeth,

vattam oththu azhaku Ara vimmi iLakik kathiththa kommai mulaiyil: in their round-shaped, beautiful, fulsome, soft and bulging breasts,

kuniththa vil nuthalil itta pottil vilai mAthar kannal mozhiyil siRakkum anna nadaiyil: in the vermillion dot worn on their curved bow-like forehead, in the speech of the whores which is sweet like the sugarcane, in their gait like that of the famous swan,

kaRuththa kaNNin iNaiyil sivantha kani vAyil kaN azhivu vaiththa puththi: in their two black eyes and in their reddish kovvai-fruit-like mouth, I had remained awestruck, with mind immersing in each of them individually; changing my mind set,

shaNmuka ninaikka vaiththa kanma vasam eppadikku maRavEnE: the fruit of my past deeds made me meditate on Your six hallowed faces; how can I ever forget this reward for any reason?

anna nadaiyaip pazhiththa manjnjai malaiyil kuRaththi ammai adavip punaththil viLaiyAdum annai: She is the peacock-like damsel whose gait surpasses that of the swan; she is the Goddess who was reared in the mountain by the KuRavAs; she played around in the forest and the millet field; She is our mother;

iRukap piNiththa panniru thirup puyaththil anniya arakkar aththanaiyu(m) mALa ponnulakinaip purakkum manna: the twelve hallowed shoulders tightly hugged by Your consort, VaLLi, were responsible for destroying all the alienated demons; and You are the Lord that protected the celestial land and redeemed it for the DEvAs!

nal vrathaththai vitta punmaiyar pura thraya aththar podiyAka: The demons, who lived in Thiripuram leading a sinful life after they abandoned the good ritualistic worship* of SivA, were all burnt down to ashes

pon malai vaLaiththu eriththa kaN nuthal idaththil utRa puNNiya oruththi petRa perumALE.: when He bent the Mount MEru like a bow and opened His fiery eye on the forehead; on the left side of that Lord SivA, this unique and virtuous Goddess is concorporate; You are the son delivered by that PArvathi, Oh Great One!

* When it was realised that the evil demons in Thiripuram could not be conquered until and unless they were made to give up their ritualisic worship of Lord SivA, Lord VishNu went to Thiripuram in the disguise of a buddhist priest and Sage NArathar went along with Him as His student. They performed many miracles, hypnotised the demons and made them forsake the worship of SivA - Siva PurANam.
