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

muththuth theRikka vaLar ikku silaikkai madhan: Manmathan, the Love God, is holding the bow of sugarcane, the pearl within which is about to split open;

muttath thoduththa malarAlE: and the flowery arrows expertly flung from that bow are haunting her.

muththa thiru caladhi mutraththudhith thiena: From the surface of the beautiful sea that contains many pearls, the moon rises and burns (her) like fire

muRpat teRikku nilavAlE: with its light.

eththaththai yarkkum idha mikkup perukkamaNi: She wears the misery of slander-mongering by parrot-like women who revel in gossipping repeatedly about her.

ippoR kodichchi thaLarAdhE: Lest this lovely creeper-like damsel suffer any further,

edhdhikkum utra pugazh vetrith thiruththaNiyil itrai dhinaththil varavENum: You must appear before her right this day in this place, ThiruththaNigai, famously known in all directions for its victorious glory.

meththa sinaththu vada dhikkuk kulach sikara: With extreme anger (You shattered) the Mount Krouncha in the North, famous for its high peaks,

veRpaith thoLaiththa kadhir vElA: by piercing them with Your dazzling Spear, Oh Lord!

mechchik kuRaththi thanam ichchith thaNaiththurugi: Heaping praises on VaLLi, the damsel of the KuRavAs, You hugged her bosom ardently and passionately

mikkup paNaiththa maNi mArbA: with Your highly decorated chest, Oh Lord!

maththa bramaththar aNi maththach chadaip paramar: He is said to be extremely eccentric; he adorns His tresses with the lovely flower Umaththai; He is Lord SivA;

chiththaththil vaiththa kazhalOnE: that SivA cherishes Your holy feet in His heart!

vattath thiraik kadalil mattith thedhirth thavarai: In the seas throwing waves in circles, the hostile demons who came to fight with You were all destroyed and

vettith thuNiththa perumALE.: cut into pieces by You, Oh Great One!

This song has been written in the Nayaka-Nayaki BhAva portraying the pangs of separation of the heroine from Lord Murugan.
The sea, the moon, Love God, the flowery arrows and the scandal-mongering women are some of the sources which aggravate the agony of her separation from the Lord.
