oolil peruvali, unna-vottāthu, ungal-attam-ellām,
āla-puthai-thu vaith-thāl varumō? num adip-pirakë.
English Meaning
(Oh foolish men) It won't be prudent on your part if you think that you could live in this world (happily) without offering prayers to Kumara Vel, who carries the flag with the inscription of cock on it. Do remember that the effects of your past deeds are so powerful that they will not let you enjoy even the wealth you have amassed. Will all the wealth you have kept stored under the ground without giving to charity, come to your rescue after you die?
Verse 21
Transliteration
maranap pramādham namakkillai yām enrum vāyththha thunai
kiranak kalābiyum vëlum undë kinkini mugula
sarana prathāpa sasidhëvi manggalya tha-ndhu rakshā
barana krupākara njānākara sura bāskaranë.
English Meaning
(Oh Muruka) You are the sun and the repository of true knowledge. We do not have the fear of death because we do have the never failing support of the peacock with its colourful feathers, the luminous spear and your holy feet with tinklets around it. We realize that you (once) saved Indirani from losing her husband, Indiran, in the battle. You are the saviour and the store house of graciousness.
[Indirani is the wife of Indiran, the King of the celestial world. By killing Suran, the enemy of the celestial people, Murukan saved Indiran and other members of his family in the celestial world.]

eythān marugan, umaiyāl payan-tha, ilan-jiyamë.
English Meaning
Oh Saravanabava, son of Uma; you were brought up in the Saravana pond; you loved and married Valli who had beautiful tresses decorated with flowers around which bees hover; you made even those who abused you prosper with the help of the Tamil triads; you are the son-in-law of Rama who severed the fierce twenty elephant-like hands of the ten headed Ravana with his bow.

English Meaning
I will never forget you, Oh God, residing peacefully like a red flame in the holy mountain of Tiruchengodu holding your sharp spear. Before my body to which the two hands and two legs are attached and in which the five sense organs are housed, gets destroyed and disappears, please do come and save me.
Verse 24
Transliteration
kinnam kurithththu adiyën sevi nii anru këtkas sonna
kunnam kurissi veliyākki vittadhu kōdu kulal
sinnam kurikka kurinjsik kilavar sirumithanai
munnam kurissiyil senru kalyānam uyanravanë.
English Meaning
Oh Muruka, once you went to the small village in Valli Hills, wooed and married the petite, Valli, who was the daughter of the hunters of the Kurinji landscape. Here one can hear the loud sounds of blow horns, flutes and conches made by the villagers. Noticing my desperate situation you came near me and whispered in my ears your sacred teaching to relieve my misery. Your teaching is therefore no longer a secret since the whole of Valli hills knows about it. (How gracious of you!)
[The lesson to be learnt from the mystic episode of the hunter girl, Valli, is that no matter how lowly placed you are in life, God will come down to you readily and bless you, if you get rid of your arrogance (I-ness) and surrender to Him completely without any reservation]
Verse 25
Transliteration
thandāyudhamum thirisuulamum vilath thākki unnaith
thindāda vetti vila viduvën se-ndhil vël unakku
thondāgiya en avirōdha njānas sudar vadi vāl
kandāyadā a-ndhakā va-ndhu pār satru en kaikku ettavë.
English Meaning
Hey Yama, I am a devotee of Velan, the Lord of Tiruchendur. Remember Yama, that I carry the luminous sword of Absolute Knowledge. If you dare to come anywhere near me, I will knock off your club and trident and attack you. You will go down staggering.
Verse 26
Transliteration
neela-chikandiyil-ërum pirān, entha-nërath-thilum,
kōla-kurathi-yudan varu-vān, guru-nāthan sonna,
seela-thai mellath-therinthu, arivār, siva-yōgi-galë
kālathai venr-iruppār, marippār, verum karmigalë.
English Meaning
Whenever devotees think of Him, Murukan who rides the blue peacock, will appear before them without delay along with the beautiful hunter girl (Valli). Siva Yogis who practice deep meditations and exercises as taught by the Master Teacher will gradually learn and appreciate the virtues of His teachings; they will also be able to transcend the effects of time (birth and death). On the other hand, those who perform only the religious rites routinely and physical exercises regularly die early.
Verse 27
Transliteration
ōlaiyum thūtharum kandu thindādal olith-thu enakku
kālaiyum mālaiyum munnil-kumë kantha-vël marungil
sëlaiyum kattiya seerāvum kaiyil sivantha sechai
māliyum sëval pathākaiyum thōgaiyum vāgaiyumë.
English Meaning
The cloth, Lord Kanthan is wearing around the hip, the sword fastened to His waist, the vetchi flower garland on His reddish hand, the flag He is carrying with the inscription of cock on it, the peacock and the Sirissa flowers (worn by the victors in the battle), will always appear before me and relieve my panic when I get scared and terrified at the messengers of Yama carrying his instructions to drag me away.
[vetchi = (scarlet ixora); its flowers are worn by victorious warriors who capture the cows in the land of the defeated king]
Verse 28
Transliteration
vëlë vilanggu kaiyān seyya thālinil vil-ndhu irainjsi
mālë kola ingngan kānbadhallān mana vākkus seya-
lālë adaidharku aridhāy aruvuruvāgi onru
pōlë irukkum porulai evvāru pugalvadhuvë.
English Meaning
There is only one way to have the divine experience of seeing Lord Murukan, who holds the renowned spear in His hand, except by prostrating before His reddish feet and worshiping Him with deep love and devotion. Mind, words or rites cannot experience Him; He is capable of appearing either with a body or without one. Though He is really only one, He is also capable of giving the illusion of appearing as many. How else could anybody explain something that presents such contradictory qualities?
Verse 29
Transliteration
kadaththhil kuraththhi pirān arulāl kalanggādha siththhath
thidaththhil punaiyena yān kada-ndhën chithra mādhar alkur
padaththhil kaluththhil paruththha sevvāyil panaiyil u-ndhith
thadaththhil thanaththhil kidakkum venggāma samudhdhiramë.
English Meaning
The picturesque beauty of the vulva, the neck and shoulders, the reddish lips, the big breasts and the broad navel of pretty prostitutes have always infatuated me. I was able to cross this terrible ocean of lust by the boat of grace of Lord Murukan, husband of Valli, the hunter girl residing in the millet fields of Valli Hills.
