Verse 78

Transliteration

kūrkonda vëlanaip pōtrrāma lëtrrangondātuvirkāl
pōrkonda kāla numaikkondu pōmanru pūnpanavun
thārkonda mātharu mālikai yumpanas sālikaiyum
ārkondu pōvaraiyë ketuveernum marivinmaiyë.

English Meaning

Oh Men, Instead of hailing Lord Velan who carries the sharp-pointed spear in his hands, you are wasting your time praising your life and indulging in sensual pleasures. When Yaman comes charging towards you to take your life, you have to leave behind all your ornaments, your ladies wearing flower garlands, the palatial houses you lived in and bags of gold you have amassed? Don't you realize that you are ruining yourself? I do sympathize with your ignorance.

English Meaning

Red colored Vel Muruka! You reside in the beautiful Tiruttani Hills surrounded by fragrant-rich kadambu flowers. I have been trapped by the fish-like eyes of the prostitutes playing balls. I am therefore loafing around in pursuit of their love. Won't you please relieve me of my mental anguish and bless me with your grace?

Verse 80

mākaththhai mutti varunetung kūtrranvanthā lenmunnë
thōkaip puraviyil rōnnil pāysuththha niththhamuththhith
thyākap poruppaith thripurān thakanaith thriyampakanaip
pākaththhil vaikkum paramakal yānithan pālakanë.

English Meaning

Lord Siva, mountain of grace, is capable of blessing you with the pure and permanent abode of lasting happiness; playing role of Yama, He destroyed the three wicked, floating cities in the sky; He has also the distinction of keeping Parvathi, his consort and a woman of sweet disposition, as part of his own body. (Being the son of such outstanding parents), Oh Muruka, won't you be kind enough to appear before me on your peacock with colorful feathers and protect me when the tall and gigantic Yama follows me to take my life?

Verse 81

English Meaning

You Yama! I have retained firmly in my mind Lord Murukan who has the small sword in His waistband and carries in his hands the small sword and the sharp spear. Not satisfied with drinking the breast milk of the six Karthikai girls (known as the clusters of six stars, Taras), the child God grew up drinking the breast milk of his Mother, Uma Devi as well. (He will come and rescue me at any time I need him). Therefore, don't come anywhere near me. Run away. If you do approach me, Yama, I will kill you.

English Meaning

Oh Muruka, You are so great as to allay the fears of Indiran and the celestial bodies by fighting against the terrible Suran who tore through the top of the world created by Piraman living in the lotus flower, reached the celestial world and aggressively attacked the residents like a raging elephant. The dreadful Suran was terrified with your might. Oh Mighty One, please command me graciously to concentrate my mind on your holy feet and worship you by showering on them the red petals of kadambu flowers.
