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

thiruttu nArikaL pappara mattaikaL: These are thieving girls; useless and vulgar dancers;

vaRattu mOdiyil niththa(m) nadippavar: they put on an act everyday with meaningless arrogance;

siRakka mEni ulukki madakku(m) kaN valaiyAlE thikaiththu: they move their bodies stimulatingly and stun the men ensnaring them with the net of their eyes which constantly shift hither and thither;

uL Avi karaiththu manaththinil ithaththai Oda viduththu mayakkidu(m): they melt the inner life by flooding the heart with a flow of delusory bliss;

simittu kAma vithaththilum utpada alaivEnO: will I ever roam about in such a way as to be grabbed within the lustful web of their winking eyelids?

thariththu neeRu pithatRidu(m) piththanum: Lord SivA, who wears the holy ash and who is known as the crazy* one prattling Vedic utterings,

ithaththu mA kudilaip poruL sotRidu samarththa bAla enap pukazh petRidu murukOnE: requested You saying "Kindly teach me the significance of the great PraNava ManthrA, my clever child!" - You enjoy that unique reputation, Oh MurugA!

samapraveeNa mathiththidu puththiyil irakkamAy varu thaRpara sith para: Oh Great Expert, You are the supreme substance that materialises kindly in the intellect of those devotees who praise You! You are the Lord who is beyond anyone's comprehension!

sakathra yOka vidhakshaNa dhekshiNa GurunAthA: Among all the yOgAs the best one is Mouna yOgA (speechless tranquility); and You are in that state as the great DhakshiNAmUrthy**, Oh Great Master!

veruttu cUranai vetti raNap peli kaLaththilE kazhuthukku irai ittu: You destroyed the demon SUran who harassed the celestials; in the battlefield, wherever killing took place, You offered the flesh of the corpses to the devils to devour;

idar viduththa kULikaL thiththiku thiththena viLaiyAda vithiththa veera: thus You satisfied the devils' hunger and made them dance in joy to the meter of "thiththiku thiththu", Oh valorous One!

samarkkaLa raththamum veku praLayaththinil iratRi Oda vilakki: When the demons were killed, blood in the battlefield gushed like flood during a deluge with a loud noise

vEl serukiddu uyir mokkiya maRavOnE: as You thrust the spear into the demons gulping down their life, Oh mighty one!

perukkamOdu sariththidu macchamum uLaththin mA makizh petRida: The well-grown fish living in the pond are delighted to be fed

vatRidu piLappu vAyidai muppozhuthaththum or kazhu neerin piNiththa pOthu vediththu rasath thuLi kodukkum: into their narrow but split-open mouths, three times a day, delicious drops drip from the breaking open of compact buds of matchless red lily flowers;

Odai mikuththa thiruththaNi piRakka mEvuRa aththalam utRu uRai perumALE.: such ponds abound in this place, ThiruththaNigai, where You are distinctly seated with relish, Oh Great One!

* Lord SivA was addressed as the crazy one by SundharamUrthy NAyanAr out of extreme devotion and friendship.

In ThiruththaNigai, Murugan, the Master, preached to Lord SivA, sitting in the yOgA posture. Thus Murugan Himself became Lord DhakshiNAmUrthy; as SivA and Murugan are one and the same, He became His own Master.
