VaLLi has a lotus face and eyes like arrows;
You went to her millet-field and said "Come over to me. Your town (VaLLimalai) is just 25 miles away from my town (ThiruththaNigai).
Both of our hometowns are so close to each other that there is only a millet-field in between them"
Thus You spoke to her in that grove where You surrendered all Your strength.
You were so enchanted with VaLLi that You were ready to climb the "madal"*, Oh my Lord!
The hunter (Kannappan) offered food saying that it was very sweet;
and after taking a bite by himself, he then offered the food that was gladly accepted by Him (Lord SivA) who cast a magic spell on the hunter (with bleeding eye).
You are the Son of that pure SivA!
You remain forever youthful;
(at the same time) the ancient work in Tamil (ThirumurugAtRuppadai) calls You the old man of the mountains!
When You are worshipped ardently in a big way,
millions of births** are destroyed. This is indeed a miracle!
He holds in His hands five different weapons; GowthamOthaki as the mace, the great SArangam as the bow, Sudharsanam as the wheel, PAnchajanyam as the Conch and NAndhakam as the sword;
Yasodhai, the consort of King NandagOpan, was delighted
when the grinding stone to which she tied Him was dragged by the famous butter thief;
He grew terrifyingly upto the sky piercing it with His head;
(before that) He stood innocently in front of the benevolent Emperor MahAbali as pious little VAmanan seeking alms;
and He is Your Uncle NarAyaNan! You lost Your temper with His son, BrahmA, Oh Lord!
Amid the fertile paddy field, there are plenty of conch shells in this place,
called VeLLinagar (VeLLigaram***), which is Your abode, Oh Lord of the Spear!
You are the Master of all the DEvAs worshipping You!
