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

kiRi mozhik kirutharaip poRi vazhic cheRinjarai: Those arrogant people who are compulsive liars, those who heed to their five sensory organs,

kedu piRappu aRa vizhikkiRa pArvaik kedu madak kurudaraith thirudarai: those evil ones with gazing eyes that destroy their ruined life altogether, without any hope of redemption; those blind fools bereft of any intellect, those thieves,

samaya tharkkikaL thamaic cheRithal utRu aRivu Ethum aRithal atRu ayarthal utRu avizhthal atRu: and those religious zealots were the ones I have been approaching; without learning anything to enhance my knowledge, becoming exhausted, and without my rigid heart melting through devotion,

arukal utRu aRavum nekku azhi karuk kadal UdE amizhthal atRu: I have become blemished, totally drowning in the sea of birth that destroys me; lest I end up in such a manner,

ezhuthal utRu uNar nalaththu uyarthal utRu adiyiNaikku aNukidap peRuvEnO: will I be able to rise, coming up in life, leading myself in the righteous path with a good feeling and attain Your hallowed feet?

poRi udaic chezhiyan veppu ozhitharap paRi thalaip poRi ilac chamaNar aththanai pErum podi pada: To cure the high fever of the intelligent king PANdiyan (with a hunch-back) and to destroy the entire foolish clan of ChamaNas, who had the custom of plucking the hair of one another,

siva maNap podi parappiya thirup pukaliyil* kavuNiyap pulavOnE: You distributed the fragrant holy ash of SivA (in Madhurai) coming as Poet ThirugnAna Sambandhar in the lineage of kavuNiyars of SeegAzhi!

thaRi vaLaiththu uRa nakaip poRi ezhap puram eriththavar thirup puthalva: He raised fiery sparks merely from His smile that destroyed Thiripuram completely; and You are the good son of that Lord SivA!

nal sunai mEvum thani maNak kuvaLai niththamum malar tharu: In its famous fountain, a fragrant blue lily blossoms every day

seruththaNiyinil saravaNap perumALE.: in this place SeruththaNi** (ThiruththaNigai), which is Your abode, Oh SaravaNA, the Great One!

* The several names of SeegAzhi are Piramapuram, VENupuram, ThONipuram, PUntharAy, Sirapuram, PuRavam, SaNpai, Kochchai, Venguru, Kazhumalam, Muthunakar and Pukali.

** seru = war. Even after the war was over, Murugan remained enraged and later calmed down in ThiruththaNigai. ThaNi means calming down. The town was originally called seruththaNi before changing its name to ThiruththaNigai.
