["O’ Lord, you destroyed the krauncha-hill with your powerful weapon of VEl [‘lance’]! You annihilated the demon SUrapanman, who had assumed the form of a mango-tree standing in the roaring sea! You are the Commander of the army consisting of soldiers representing various aspects of nature with little heads! You are an eternally Youthful One! You are Beauty Incarnate! You are the divine son of Lord SivaperumAn, who has the [white] bull as the vehicle! You are the Eternal One. May I humbly beseech you to abide in my heart."]

"It is the self-same powerful weapon of VEl in the heroic hand of the eternal Lord Murugan, that pierced through and split open the krauncha-hill, removed the suffering of the celestials, caused by the demon SUrapanman, rescued those who were imprisoned in the cave by the demon, and protects me today without forsaking me."

["The heroic VEl, that is in the sacred hand of Lord Murugan, is sharply-pointed; it was powerful enough to rescue the celestials from imprisonment by the demons; it dipped into the sea and killed the demons who were hiding there; the victorious VEl pierced through the chest of the demon SUrapanman and krauncha-hill; that VEl is the ever-helpful-companion (to all)."]

"O’ Lord, You have the weapon of VEl, whose mission is to annihilate the demons; that VEl pierced through the krauncha-hill, which was covered by dew-and-bamboo-thickets, and killed the demon SUrapanman! You must graciously hurl that VEl once again in order to pierce through the mountain-like-suffering of mine!"

"O’ Lord! I do not believe in anyone else except You; nor will ever I follow anyone else seeking anything. You are the Lord who has the weapon of VEl that removed the cruel suffering of the celestials! You are the Lord with twelve beautiful arms! You are abiding at Thiruchchenthur in order to protect your beloved devotees!"

["If a person were to appear with a fearful face, Lord Murugan with six faces will appear in front of that person. The weapon of VEl will appear in violent battle by saying ‘Do not fear!’. If a person were to think of the Lord once and say ‘MurugA’, the two sacred feet of the Lord will appear in front of that person!"]

[O’ Lord MurugA! Lord of Senthil [ThiruchchenthUr]! Lord who is the nephew of Lord ThirumAl! Lord who is the divine son of Lord SivaperumAn! Lord who is the younger brother of Lord VinAyagar with the trunk as a (fifth) hand! I worship you always with the joined-palms of my hand with the firm belief in your sacred feet adorned with thaNdai-anklet!"]

["O’ Lord, if you do not protect me, whose duty is it to protect me? O’ Lord ArumugavA [one with six-faces], KadambA [one who wears the 'kadambu-flower-garland], MurugA, KathirvElA ! Now is the right time to protect me! Please consider my prayer and be graciously compassionate to me."]

["O’ mind! Instead of shrinking with desire, you should refresh your eyes by having the sacred vision of Lord Murugan of twelve arms abiding at Thirupparangkundram granting grace to devotees, worship the Lord’s sacred feet with the joined-palms of your hands, and go on reciting unfailingly and lovingly the great poem of ThirumurugAtruppadai as homage to the Lord."]

["If a person were to focus his/her mind and recite daily the great poem of ThirumurugAtruppadai, sung by the learned-poet Nakkeerar, Lord Murugan of eternal beauty, youthfulness and fragrance will graciously appear in front of that person, remove all the suffering of the mind, and will grant all that is desired by that person."]
