Verse 68
Transliteration
sātunj samarath thanivël murugan saranaththhilë
ōtung karuththhai yiruththhaval lārkkukam pōychakampōyp
pātung kavuri pavurikondā tappasupathin
rātum poluthu paramā yirukku matheethaththhilë.
English Meaning
Those who control their mind from distracted and concentrate on the holy feet of Lord Murugan, carrying the unique spear capable of killing the enemies ruthlessly, will be able to reach the spot that is beyond the concept of time and is free from the worldly turmoil. It is in this location beyond human comprehension that Lord Siva, the head of all souls, dances in a perfect state of bliss to the accompaniment and enjoyment of His consort, Uma Devi.
Verse 69
Transliteration
thanthaikku munnan thaninjāna vālonru sāthiththharul
kanthas suvāmi yenaith thër riya pinnark kālanvempi
vanthip poluthhennai yen seyya lānjsaththhi vālonrinār
sinthath thunippan thanipparung kōpathri sūlaththhaiyë.
English Meaning
What could Yama do to me even if he comes angrily to take away my life? He should not forget that I do have the weapon of silence (the sword of knowedge) that Lord Kanthan was gracious enough to give me. Indeed this is the same weapon Lord Kanthan taught His father, Lord Sivan. If Yama still dares to approach me, I shall break his insatiable trident with my weapon.

palikkuth thunai, avan panniru thōlum, bayandha-thani—
valikkuth thunai, vadi-vëlum, sengkōdan mayūramumë.
English Meaning
The flowery soft feet of Lord Murukan are there to protect my eyes; the sacred names such as Muruka, Guha, Kantha and Kumara, are there to help me speak only about absolute truth; to save me from the effects of mistakes I may have committed earlier, the twelve hands of Murukan are there; for the long, solitary and dreadful journey I have to undertake finally, the sharp-pointed spear carried by the Lord of Tiruchencodu and the peacock He rides on, will accompany me and be my guide and companion. (You may be certain you won't be alone either now or in the future if you surrender yourself at the feet of Lord Murukan).

Verse 71
Transliteration
thuruththhi yenumpati kumpiththhu vāyuvais sutrrimurith
tharuththhi yutampai yorukkilen nānjsiva yōka mennung
kuruththhai yarinthu mukamā rutaikkuru nāthansonna
karuththhai manaththhil lirunthungan teermuththhi kaikandathë.
English Meaning
Oh Men, Many people take in fresh air into the lungs like the bellows, hold and distribute it to various parts of the body. What is the use of subjecting your body to severe dieting schedules, aerobic exercises and yoga? (These procedures will help only to nurture your physical body.) On the other hand, if you learn about Siva Gnana Yoga, your physical body and mind will both get rejuvenated. In addition, if you keep your mind firmly on Lord Arumukan, the Master Teacher and practice the abode of being silent as taught by Him, you can certainly reach the abode of permanent happiness.
[Here Arunagirinathar is stressing the superiority of Sivayogam over Hathayogam]

sānthunai pōdhum maravādha-varkku, oru thāl-villaiyë.
English Meaning
Oh red colored Kantar! You reside in the Tiruchengodu Mountain! You are the King carrying the bright luminous spear in your hands. You are the great Tamil poet, who interpreted the meaning of Tamil literary classics (to the poets of the Madurai Tamil Academy). You are the proud husband of the hunter girl, Valli. You wear garlands of kadambu flowers. You ride the deep blue peacock. If people devotedly think of you constantly without forgetting till they die, they will not go through the vicissitudes of life.
Verse 73
Transliteration
pōkkum varavu miravum pakalum purampumullum
vākkum vativu mutivumillātha thonru vanthuvanthu
thākku manōlayan thānë tharumenaith thanvasaththhë
ākku marumuka vāsol lonāthintha ānanthamë.
English Meaning
Oh Arumuka, Frequently I am encountering something that has no origin or limit, day or night, in or out, words, form or end. It does have the ability, however, to makes me loose my identity so that I become one with it. I could not describe it in words. All that I could say is that, as long as I am with it, I get an extraordinary sense of being in a state of perfect bliss and peace that I have never experienced before.
Verse 74
Transliteration
arāppunai vëniyan sëyarul vëndu mavilntha anpār

rāppaka lattra taththhë yirukkai yauithallavë.
English Meaning
I pray that I should be blessed with the grace of Lord Murukan, the son of Lord Siva who wears snakes on his braids; I pray that I should shed my arrogance and devotedly worship Lord Murukan's holy feet adorned with hollow anklets and laden with kura flowers; I should not fall a victim to the attractions created by the five senses; my mind should be in perfect peace al the time; if these desires are to be fulfilled I should remain in a place that transcends day or night and that is not easy.
Verse 75

nadik-kin-rilai, nenjsamë, thanjsamë-thu, namak-kiniyë.
English Meaning
Oh Mind, you have neither studied the history of the sacred place, Palani nor held in veneration those who have studied the same; you have neither chanted the holy name Muruka nor you have become poor after giving away all your wealth incessantly to the needy; you have not even sobbed giving the impression that you have been overcome with joy thinking about God. Is there any refuge for someone like you, Oh mind, now or in the future?
Verse 76
Transliteration
kōtātha vëthanuk kiyānseytha kutrramen kunrerintha
thātāla nethen thanikaik kumaranin randainthāl
sūthātha senniyu nāthātha kannun tholāthakaiyum
pātātha nāvu menakkë therinthu pataiththhananë.
English Meaning
Oh Kumara residing in the beautiful town, Tiruatthani! You are the great one having the boldness and strength to split open the Kravunja Mountain! I have never worshipped your holy feet wearing the hollow anklets; my eyes have never longed to see you; my hands had not been held together piously; I have never sung hymns in your praise. It looks that Vedan (Piraman), noted for his justice, has created just me alone with such loathsome qualities! What harm have I done him to deserve this treatment! It is indeed strange.
Verse 77
Transliteration
sëlvāngu kanniyar vann payōtharanj sërënni
mālvāngi yëngi mayangāmal vaufli malaiyenavë
kālvāngi nirkung kalitrrān kilaththhi kaluththhirkattu
nūl vāngi thāthanru vëlvāngi pūngalal nōkku nenjsë.
English Meaning
(O Mind!) The prostitutes who have eyes better than those of the selfish and beautiful breasts had infatuated you. You had always been enamored of having sexual relationship with them. Instead of pining for their love and getting depressed with this thought, why don't you concentrate on meditating upon the Lord Murukan's feet laden with flowers? He is so considerate that he fought on behalf of the celestial bodies with His spear and saved the life of Indiran, the owner of the white elephant with stout legs (Iravatham), and thereby made sure that Indirani did not become a widow.
[Please redirect your mind towards Lord Murukan and He will help you get rid of your weakness.]
