I am thinking only about Your lotus feet carrying the fragrance of the flowery poems emanating from my tongue.
There are twenty-eight* types of Saiva scriptures (AgamAs) which mingle with four phases** which interpret the method to attain
Liberation and Eternal Bliss as directed by those scriptures;
and that is the method I would like to practise everyday.
Just so that there is no difference between You and me, a state in which the JeevAthma and ParamAthma have merged
and to lead a straightforward life by Your grace,
I want to transcend the great Kundalini ChakrAs*** (Six transcendental zones) and go one step higher to SahasrAram;
there, You said, I could see SivA who is superior to all things supreme.
I want to hear from You that great - expression denoting Unity between SivA and Sakthi.
When SivA, who mounts on the Bull, Nandi, went around You praying,
the greatest Knowledge contained in the Vedas
was preached by You expertly, Oh Great Master!
You slashed to death the asuras who burnt the land of DEvAs.
Oh valorous One, GuhA, You married VaLLi, the damsel of KuRavAs.
On the northern bank of River KAveri, there are tanks with fragrant flowers
and plenty of groves at SwAmimalai, which is Your abode, Muruga.
MahA KALi, with dark cloud's complexion, Ever young Sakthi,
and who dwells on the left side of SivA (who burnt down Manmathan) - that PArvathi delivered You as Her Son, Oh Great One!
