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

(The first seven lines describe the eyes of whores).

ayilin vALi vEl vALi aLavu kUrithAy: They are sharp like the tip of the arrow and the pointed end of the spear;

eesar amuthu aLAvum AvEsa mathu pOla: they have the quality of the poison consumed by Lord SivA who imbibed it like nectar; they are like toddy that makes one inebriated and highly excited;

aRavu neeLithAy meeLa akalithAy vArkAthin aLavum Odi needu Othi nizhal ARi: they are very long, and still quite wide, running right up to the lengthy ears and relaxing under the shade of the hair;

thuyil koLAtha vAnOrum mayal koLAtha AvEtha thuRavarAna pEr yArum madal ERa: they make the sleepless celestials and all those ascetics, who feign to be dispassionate, resort to the palm-leaf (madal*) custom;

thuNiyumARu ulA(vu) neela nayana mAtharArOdu thuvaLuvEnai dERu neRi pArAy: so daring are those roving eyes that look like the blue lily; I have been having liaison with whores having such eyes and am feeling miserable; will You kindly show me a way out so that I could be redeemed?

payilum mEka neekAram sayala rAsan vAzhvAna pavathi yAmaLA vAmai apirAmi: She is PArvathi DEvi, the beloved daughter of King HimavAn of the HimAlayAs, over which dense clouds hover; She is of a unique green complexion; She is concorporate on the left side of Lord SivA; She is exquisitely beautiful;

pari pura(m) Ara(m) pAthAra saraNi sAmaLa AkAra parama yOkinee mOki makamAyi: On Her hallowed and lotus feet She wears anklets and floral garlands; She is of the hue of emerald-green; She is the Supreme Deity; She infuses love in everyone; She is the Primal Mother;

kayilaiyALar Or pAthi kadavuLALi lOkAyi: She is one-half of Lord SivA, the Head of Mount KailAsh; She rules over all the celestials; She is the Universal Mother;

kana(m) thana asalA pAram amuthu URal kamazhum AraNA keetha kavithai vANa vEl veera: that PArvathi DEvi fed You with nectar-like milk from Her huge breasts; with the aroma of that holy milk (still lingering in Your mouth), You composed VEdic Hymns (thEvAram), Oh Great Poet (coming into this world as ThirugnAna Sambandhar)! You are the valorous One with the spear!

karuNai mEruvE thEvar perumALE.: Your compassion is huge like the Mount MEru, Oh Lord! You are the Leader of the celestials, Oh Great One!

* sending out passion-filled doodles in palm leaves was known as "madal ERuthal": here the passion-stricken hero makes several doodles and mounts a horse made of palm leaves to go around the town announcing to the world his love for the heroine.
