Verse 31
Tamil Lyrics
தீதா வசவ னுபவிக்க மண்ணிலும் விண்ணிலுஞ்செந்
தீதா வசவ னியாயஞ்செய் வேதிய ரேதியங்காத்
தீதா வசவ னிமலர்செல் வாசாக் கிரவசத்த
தீதா வசவன் புறப்பா ரெனுமுத்தி சித்திக்கவே.
English Meaning
Oh ascetics, in order to earn fame and wealth in this world and in the next, you are throwing goats in the sacrificial fire without mercy for the poor creatures, ignoring criticisms by others. In order to attain eternal happiness at the feet of God Kanthan, the son of God Sivan, the rider of the bull, a saner approach would be to meditate on Him. He will bless you with His grace and give you the good sense to pray to him whether you are in the waking state with all your faculties functioning properly or in the state of deep meditation when all your senses are suppressed.
Verse 32
Tamil Lyrics
சித்திக்கத் தத்துவ ருத்திர பாலக செச்சைகுறிஞ்
சித்திக்கத் தத்துவ ரத்தியின் மாவென்ற சேவகவிச்
சித்திக்கத் தத்துவர் வாய்மொழி மாதர்க் கெனுந்திணைவா
சித்திக்கத் தத்துவ ருத்தப் படாதுநற் சேதனமே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you are the personification of absolute wisdom. You are the son of God Sivan. You wear the garland made of vetchi flowers and you are hailed as the God of the kurinchi landscape. You are the brave warrior who defeated the illusive Suran who was hiding in the salty ocean as a mango tree. Won't you please bless me with the wisdom to avoid reading books that stimulate my sexual appetite and induce me to woo the company of pretty girls who have reddish lips and speak loving words as sweet as sugar cane? Quite often I suffer mentally when my efforts do not succeed. Please be gracious and provide me with good advice that would help me avoid their company.
Verse 33
Tamil Lyrics
சேதனந் தந்துறை யென்றுமை செப்புங் குருந்துறைகாற்
சேதனந் தந்துறை யல்லிமன் வாவிச் செந்தூர்கருத
சேதனந் தந்துறை யென்றி யாறிதிர நீங்கினென்சே
சேதனந் தந்துறை மற்றுமுற் றாடித் திறைகைவிட்டே.
English Meaning
Oh mind. Always meditate on Tiruchendur — where there are several ponds full of water lilies and in which swans with red colored legs could be seen swimming throughout the year. The reason for this is that this is where the child God Kumaran resides peacefully. The greatness of this child could be appreciated by the fact that Goddess Uma Devi, who nursed him from her beautiful breasts, addressed him respectfully as 'sir'. When several confused religious fanatics claim, out of ignorance, that their religious dogmas were the only correct ones, it would be necessary to get away from them. If one seeks salvation from earthly problems, it would be prudent to meditate on Murukan and Tiruchendur. This is better than going to Sethu and other seas or to many rivers and having holy dips.
(When Murukan appeared as Tirugnana Sampanthar, he drank milk from Parvathi. Saint Arunagiri Nathar believes that Tirugnana Sampanthar was an avataram of Murukan.)
Verse 34
Tamil Lyrics
திரிகையி லாயிர வெல்லாலி மண்விண் டருசிரபாத
திரிகையி லாயிர வாநந்த நாடகி சேரிமகோத்
திரிகையி லாயிர மிக்குமைந் தாசெந்தி லாயொருகால்
திரிகையி லாயிரக் கோடிசுர் நோடுந் திருத்துளமே.
English Meaning
Muruga, when everything in this world is perishable you remain permanently without any change. You are the son of God Sivan who is the creator of night, day, ocean, earth, sky and the plants. You carry a human skull as a begging bowl and he is famous for his exuberant dances that had feasts and anger of Mount Kailash. Your mother was the daughter of the king of Himalayas and occupied the left part of her husband, God Sivan. As a child you were a constant source of immense pleasure to your parents. You reside peacefully in Tiruchendur. I have such a wandering mind that, by the time it takes for the potter's wheel to come one circle, it comes around the world hundred thousand times thinking about sensual pleasures. Please bless me with the knowledge to control my mind and keep it stable.
Verse 35
Tamil Lyrics
திருத்துள வாரிகல் போதுடன் சேண்மழை தூங்குஞ்சங்க
திருத்துள வாரிதி கண்டுயி லாசென் மாண்டசிந்தை
திருத்துள வாரன்னை செந்தூரையன் னளசெம் மேனியென்பு
திருத்துள வார்சடை யீசர்மை தாவினிச் செய்சைநல்கே.
English Meaning
The evening has set in making it as dark as the body of Tirumal, who wears the garland of the leaves of the sacred basil plant. Rain is pouring from the sky. The sea rich in many varieties of conches is making a monotonous noise continuously. This romantic environment is aggravating my pangs of love that has already been lying dormant within me. My mother is abusing me and I remain aloof like God Murukan residing in Tiruchendur. Muruka, you are the son of God Sivan who wears the garland of bones and smears sacred ashes all over his body. He also has a long knotted braid. I am desperate and need help immediately. There is no one else to console me. Won't you be kind enough to bless me with the vetchi flowers to quench my romantic thirst?
(This poem expresses the feelings of a maiden who is yearning for the return of her lover.)
Verse 36
Tamil Lyrics
செச்சைய வாவி கலயில்வல்வாயிடைச் சேடனிற்கச்
செச்சைய வாவி பருகுஞ் சிகாவல செங்கைவெந்தீ
செச்சைய வாவி விடுகெனுஞ் செல்வியின் றாளணுகச்
செச்சைய வாவி னுயிர்வாழ் வினியலஞ் சீர்ப்பினுமே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you wear the garland of vetchi flowers. You ride the peacock that is strong enough to grab the big snake in its powerful mouth and gradually take away its life on the slopes of the red mountains. Unable to bear the heat of the fiery sparks, Agni expressed bravado that nothing was too hot for him, but he soon realized that the sparks were too hot. Please bless me with your lotus feet and stay there forever. Even if I get rich, the newly acquired wealth would only increase my appetite for sensual pleasures induced by the five senses. I would rather prefer to be at your feet rather than enjoying this despicable worldly life.
Verse 37
Tamil Lyrics
சீர்க்கை வனப்பு மலர்வேங்கை யானவன் செஞ்சிலையோர்
சீர்க்கை வனப்பு நிதத்தவ வேடன் நினைவளைக்குச்
சீர்க்கை வனப்பு அமதுருக் காட்டிய செய்தமிழ்நூற்
சீர்க்கை வனப்பு இமிர்சடை யோன்மகன் சிற்றடிக்கே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you changed yourself into a neem tree in full bloom during your courtship of Valli. When the hunters did not trust you, you changed yourself into an ascetic in the forest. Only at the end, when you decided to convince Valli, who was guarding the little millet and rice fields, that you are the Kumaran with the divine heritage, you showed her your true form. You are the giant in Thamizh literature well versed in all the thirty metrical feet and other unique components of Thamizh grammar. You are the son of God Sivan who wears the Ganges river and cyanodon grass in his long, braided hair. It is therefore prudent to channel your mind towards concentrating on the holy feet of Murukan to get salvation.
Verse 38
Tamil Lyrics
சிற்றம் பலத்தை யன்புநெய் நூற்றிரி சிந்தையிடுஞ்
சிற்றம் பலத்தை வருஞான தீபமிட் டார்க் குப்பரி
சிற்றம் பலத்தை யருளுஞ்செந் தூரர் பகைக்குலமான்
சிற்றம் பலத்தைப் பதவந் தோளிலின் தீவரமே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you are the head of the intellectual void space. By the grace of Kanthan, residing in Tiruchendur, his devotees would be rewarded with the mystic union with God Sivan. They accomplish this by pouring the ghee of love into the lamp of mind using the agamas as the wick. The arrow that this love-torn girl needs is not the relatively less powerful one that Kanthan threw at the asuras destroying their clan completely, but is the one of black water lily flowers worn by him on his beautiful shoulders. This arrow of flowers resembles the one used by the God of love, Manmathan.
(Muruka, please give your vetchi flowers to this poor girl and save her from complete collapse.)
Verse 39
Tamil Lyrics
தேவர கந்தரி தாம்பகி ராருற வானசெம்பொன்
தேவர கந்தரி யானொந்த போதினிற் செச்சையவின்
தேவர கந்தரி சிந்துரை பாக சிவகரண
தேவர கந்த ரிபுதீ ருநதி சேமநட்பே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you wear garlands of vetchi and black water lily flowers. The hunter girl Valli from the mountains of Valli hills and the celestial girl, Deiva Yanai, who was reared by the elephant, Iravatham, always remain on either side of your body. You are God Kumaran who gives the gift of absolute knowledge to devotees who seek it after doing the necessary siva rituals.
Men, if you become poor due to misfortune or immoral actions, your own rich relatives who live in luxury exclusively may be unwilling to help out by giving you even burnt or dried up millet grains. Therefore keeping faith in God Kumaran, as one's safe vault, would be helpful for survival under unexpected circumstances.
Verse 40
Tamil Lyrics
சேமர விக்கம் படையாக வீசுப தேசமுன்னே
சேமர விக்கம் பலந்தரு வாய்செரு தேசமுகனே
சேமர விக்கம் திரித்தாய் வருத்திய வன்றிறெனல்
சேமர விக்கம் புயவாளி விண்டிரை தெந்திரையே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you reward the ascetics who wear three-ply threads across their chests and worship the bright red sun God both in the morning and in the evenings by ablutions in order to learn the mantras to fight against the warring asuras. In particular you protect their sacrificial fires offered to God and grant their wishes according to their merits. By destroying the elusive mango tree, a shape taken by the terrible Suran to camouflage himself and misguide his enemies, you saved the celestial world from total destruction.
I am a poor girl undergoing the stress of separation from my lover. I am being mentally tortured by the arrival of the swan, the southern breeze, the sound of the bells round the bull's neck, the arrow made of the lotus stems and the noise made by the sea. These are certainly due to the action of the love God Manmathan and they have enhanced my pangs of separation. Muruka, could you please relieve my problems?
