Verse 10
Transliteration
sollukaikku illaiyenru ellām ila-ndhu summā irukkum
ellaiyut sella enai vittavā igal vëlan alla
sërkkinra solliyaik kalvaraik kovvais sevvāy
valliyaip pulginra mālvaraith thōl annal vallabamë.
English Meaning
Valli, who lived in the Kolli hills spoke words as sweet as the pann kolli (= Inthalam); her mouth and lips were as red as the kovai fruit; her figure was as slim as a creeper. (Enamored of Valli's beauty) God Murukan, with his broad mountain-like shoulders embraced her fondly. How can any one describe his smartness (in being so kind to a lowly hunter girl)? He has also guided me to enter the 'silent state', transcending mind and words. This is indeed wonderful.
[kolli = name of a Tamil pan (equivalent to raga nathanamakriya). 'silent state' refers to the speechless condition when mind and body are in total peace]
Verse 11
Transliteration
kusai-negilā vetrivëlōn avunar kudarkulambak
kasaiyidu vāsi visai konda vāganap piilin koth
thasaipadu kāl pattu asai-ndhadhu mëru adiyida ven
disai varai thuulpatta aththhuulin vāri thidar pattadhë.
English Meaning
The victorious Velan rides on the peacock. He holds its bridle firmly and whips it to run as fast as a horse terrifying the Asura soldiers. The blast caused by the beating of the cluster of peacock feathers was so strong that it made the Meru and other mountains protecting the eight directions tremble and shatter to pieces. The dust emanating from this mass destruction caused the oceans to dry up and the ocean bed to rise like a mound.
Verse 12
Transliteration
padaipatta vëlavan pālva-ndha vāgaip padhākaiyennu-n
thadaipatta sëval sirakadik kollas saladhi kili-n
dhudaipatta thanda kadākam udhir-ndhadhu udupadalam
idaipatta kunramum māmëru verpum idipadavë.
English Meaning
Unaware of the fact that Murukan's spear was more powerful than any other army, the cock came to the battle field with the object of fighting with Him. When God Murukan blessed it with the Supreme Knowledge, the cock realized its folly. It then exuberantly began beating its feathers so violently that the oceans split and the planets shattered. Clusters of stars fell from their positions. Meru and other mountains were also destroyed.
Verse 13
Transliteration
oruvaraip panggil udaiyāl kumāranudai manisër
thiruvaraik kinkini ōsaipadath thidukkitta arakkar
veruvarath thikkus sevidupattu ettu verpum kanakap
paruvaraik kunrum adhir-ndhana dhëvar bayam kettadhë.
English Meaning
Kumaran is the son of Parvathi who occupies one half of Lord Sivan's body. Hearing the tinkling sounds of the ornaments he wore around his waist, Asuras were terrified, the mountains in the eight directions (that protect the world) and the golden Meru were all shocked. The fears of the residents of the celestial world were alleviated.
Verse 14
Transliteration
kuppāsa vālkkayut kuuththādu mëvaril kotpadai-ndha
ippāsa nenjsinai iidëtruvāy iru nānku verpum
appādhiyāy vila mërung kulungga vinnārum uyyas
sappāni kottiya kai ārirandudais sanmuganë.
English Meaning
Overcome by the wandering five senses, I was confused and was indulging in despicable sensual desires. Won't you salvage me from this evil? Oh Shanmuga, You broke the mountains protecting the eight directions in two halves and applauded with your twelve hands. Meru mountain was also shaken up and the celestial bodies were salvaged. Please save me from my low activities.

English Meaning
When Tirumal, who came to Emperor Mavali in the form of a poor man seeking alms, asked him for just three feet of land. (Thinking that it is a small request) the emperor readily agreed. Then Tirumal assumed a colossal universal form and his third step stretched to the roof of the universe. Oh Muruka, you are the son-in-law of such a great person! It is surprising that your holy little feet touched the galloping peacock, the heads of the celestial bodies and my own literary compositions. It is gracious of you to bless me in this manner.
Verse 16

vidum kon arul vanthu thānë umakku velippadumë.
English Meaning
Oh Men, control your mind, give alms and be peaceful at all times. If you do so, the sharp spear holding Lord, Murukan will appear before you and bless you. Remember that this spear destroyed the ferocious Suran and his seven hills thus salvageing the world from evil. (Why, then do you doubt his kindness?)

English Meaning
The handsome Lord, Velayuthan, who was adored by the Vedas and Agamas, wears anklets and flowers of vetchi (scarlet ixora) around his feet. Oh Mind, if you want to attain the permanent state of absolute truth, hold on to His feet resembling the lotus, firmly like an armour. In this state of void and perfect bliss there is absolute silence. There is no malice or day and night. In fact worldly people have not experienced this state. (Won't you like to experience it?)
Verse 18
Transliteration
vaiyil kadhir vadivëlōnai vālththhi varinjarkku enrum
noyyil pilavalavënum pagirminkal unggatku ingngan
veyyilku odhungga udhavā udambin veru-nilal pōl
kaiyil porulum udhavādhu kān um kadai valikkë.
English Meaning
At the time of your final journey all your wealth will not come to your rescue. Remember that your own shadow will not help you in the hot sun. On the other hand, if you hail Lord Velan who holds the sharp luminous spear in his hands and give charity to the poor you won't be alone at that time. Even sharing a grit of grain with others will go a long way to protect you.
Verse 19

ennai mara-ndhiru-ndhën ira-ndhë vittadhu ivvudambë.
English Meaning
Oh King who wears the kadambu flowers on your chest and pierced through the golden Meru Mountain with your sharp spear. By observing absolute silence and suppressing the desires arising from the activity of my five senses and by controlling my three inherent moods, I was able to dispel my sense of I-ness and arrogance. In that state of silence and moodlessness I was able to forget even the existence of my body completely and perceive you in Holy Communion.
