Lord SivA was exhilirated
when You explained the Sacred ManthrA (OM)
into His two ears,
Oh Great Master!
You are the great son of SivagAma Sundhari (PArvathi),
Oh Kandaswamy!
Not interested in thinking of being in Your service only,
I am possessed by harmful illusions
and am roaming in this world aimlessly as a wastrel.
You must come to rescue me with the words "Fear not"!
In order that my inner knowledge is kindled,
and to put an end to all my miseries,
You have to grant me the bliss of wisdom attainable by Your grace.
(Your Uncle Krishna) stole butter
and also willingly bonded Himself to the grinding-stone (ural); that Hari,
He was also known as Raghuramar, You are His favourite Nephew!
All people in the Nine Continents worship You as the Real God!
You are grandly attired!
You make myriads of births happen in this world by Your mystic power, Oh Leader!
You are the consort of both Devayani and VaLLi, the damsel of KuRavas!
You are the Great warrior with complete bravery!
You hold the brightest and sharpest Spear!
You are as handsome as Manmathan and residing in ThiruvAvinankudi.
You are the only one who discovered the Truth in the Universe;
You are very capable, Oh Great One!
