All that wealth that gives rise to anguish among the wife and illustrious children who cause grief,
my God-like mother who gave birth to me and who is eventually destined to die, the delusion comprising the so-called relatives who are useless and the overwhelming variety of people belonging to my lineage,
my ego, my possessiveness, the extreme reach of my character, intention and enjoyment, the fleet of galloping horses appropriate to my wealth, the grains, the assets and the town where I live should all fade away; to that end,
kindly take me over and grant me blissful tranquility so that I have Your exhilarating vision, Oh the Supreme Lord!
At a place beyond any derision where the celestials flocked in multitude, You granted them the vision of Your hallowed knee*, Your arms wearing the bracelets and Your reddish body; over and above all these, when will I be blessed with the vision of Your illustrious feet, Oh Lord?
You are the child Of our Lord SivA who dances the Great dance to the loud beating to the meter "thanathAnthana thAna thananthana thenathOngida thOna thunangida thana".
You have created and protected all the inanimate objects and animate things of the world, Oh Lord! You are worshipped by the appropriate Rooster, ThAmbira cUdam**, which is full of freshness, Oh Lord! You are the Treasure of all the blissful celestials!
Even before Lord MurugA contemplated, He came rushing on His hallowed feet; He made an effort to ensure that the bandicoot*** offered worship to Him; by the side of VaLLi, who looked like a gracious female elephant, He appeared in an instant as a bright and wild elephant; He is Lord VinAyagA, the five-handed God; and You are His Younger Brother, Oh Lord!
Oh Blessed Lord! You are seated majestically with the whole hallowed lot of six faces which collectively offer exhilarating vision!
Oh MurugA, You are seated in this great town, MathurAnthakam!**** You are the Lord of the celestials of ardent devotion, Oh Great One!
