Verse 51
Tamil Lyrics
சிகைத்தோகை மாமயில் வீரா சிலம்புஞ் சிலம்பம்புரா
சிகைத்தோகை மாமயில் வாங்கிப் பொருது திசைமுகன்வா
சிகைத்தோகை மாமயில் வானில்வைத் தோய்வெஞ் செருமகள்வா
சிகைத்தோகை மாமயில் செவ்வினற் கீர்சொற் றித்தித்ததே.
English Meaning
Kantha, you ride the big peacock with its beautiful crown and multicolored tail feathers. You destroyed the Kravaunja Mountain and the hero who was hiding that Suran in the roaring sea in the form of an elusive mango tree and destroyed him along with the darkness of maya that was hiding him. You changed the equine face of the daughter of the Pandya King so that she looked beautiful with a normal face again. You enjoyed the literary excellence of Nakkirar's Tirmurukaarrup padai even more than the pleasure you derived from having intercourse with your wife Deiva Yanai, who was reared by the white elephant, Iravatham.
Verse 52
Tamil Lyrics
தித்திக்குத் தொந்திக்கு நித்தம் புரியுஞ் சிவன் செவிபத்
தித்திக்குத் தொந்திக் கறமொழி பாலக தேதலைத்துத்
தித்திக்குத் தொந்திக் கிளையாய் விளையுயிர்க் குஞ்சிதத்தோல்
தித்திக்குத் தொந்திப் பனவேது செய்வினைத் தீவிலங்கே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you are the child guru who whispered the meaning of Ohm, the Pranavam, very lucidly without any confusion into the ears of God Sivan, who dances to the accompaniment of the beats that sound like thotha and thonthi. You are the younger brother of Ganapathi who is happy eating the food offerings from which honey is dripping. Isn't it true that there is a relationship between the lives inside the uterus and the body that is nothing but a leather container. The past deeds act like the connecting link between the two and make one born repeatedly in this world?
Verse 53
Tamil Lyrics
தீவிலங் கங்கை தரித்தார் குமார திமிர முந்நீர்
தீவிலங் கங்கை வருமான் மருக தெவற்றவன்
தீவிலங் கங்கை வரவா விரைக்குத் திரந்துழலுந்
தீவிலங் கங்கை யமன்நொட ராமற் நிதம்பெறவே.
English Meaning
Kantha, you are the son of God Sivan, who holds a pot of fire in his hands, wears the leaves of vilvam on his shoulders and keeps the river Ganges in his crown. You are the son-in-law of Tirumal, who could dry up the ocean by shooting with his arrow skillfully.
Men, you go to distant places and far off islands, to amass wealth spurred by the wandering five senses under the pretext of feeding their bellies. If you want to avoid being taken away by Yama, you should wisely give up falling victim to these desires. By meditating on the holy feet of Kanthan and holding on to them firmly you could eliminate all your problems.
Verse 54
Tamil Lyrics
திதத்தத்தத் தித்தத் திதிதாதை தாதுத் தித்தத்திதா
திதத்தத்தத் தித்த திகித்திதத் தேதுத் தித்தித்தா
திதத்தத்தத் தித்தத்தை தாததி தேதுதை தாதத்து
திதத்தத்தத் தித்தித்தி தீதீ திதிதுதி தீதொத்ததே.
English Meaning
Kantha, you are worshiped as the Primal Being by God Sivan, Piraman and also by Tirumal. God Sivan dances to the beats such as thithat thattha thu, using the snake, Adiseshan as the bed, and enjoys eating sweet butter. You are the husband of the Deiva Yanai, the celestial girl who is beautiful like a parrot. Even when my body, covered with bones rich in minerals, is burning on the fire, I request you to bless me with the wisdom to pray to you so that I would receive your grace and thus avoid going through another life filled with misery and unhappiness. I will also be able to terminate the cycle of births and deaths.
(Arunakiri Nathar composed this poem to teach his jealous contemporary Villiputhurar a lesson in humility. This poem is unique with alliterations in all the lines beginning with the consonant "t". Unable to decipher the meaning Villiputhurar gave up and confessed defeat. Arunakiri Nathar then separated the letter combinations in the words (santhi), making them more meaningful. The translation then became easy. Thus he established his literary superiority over his rival.)
Verse 55
Tamil Lyrics
தீதோ மரணந் தவிரும் பிறப்புறுந் தீயகற்பு
தீதோ மரணப் பிரமீது தானவர் சேனை முற்றுஞ்
தீதோ மரணந் தனூச ராத்திரண் டேத்தியமுத்
தீதோ மரண மலையாளி யென்றுறை தென்றுறவே.
English Meaning
The mind is unique in learning only the bad things quickly. I wish you would learn that God Kanthan possesses the sharp spear that destroyed the terrible Suran and his clan hiding in the sea. He is a pearl ornament worshiped even by the ascetics. The ascetics found him worthy enough to accept the food offerings in the sacrificial fire. If you worshiped him as Kantha, the God of the kurinji landscape, you will learn that you could eliminate bad things happening to you. Your births and deaths would also be cut off.
Verse 56
Tamil Lyrics
தென்ன வனங்கனஞ் சூழ்காத் திரங்க சூலகத்
தென்ன வனங்கனந் தப்பத நீட்டினன் செல்வமுன்பின்
தென்ன வனங்கனன் வீற்றார் திருத்திய தென்னவின்னஞ்
தென்ன வனங்கனங் கைச்சிலைக் கூனையுந் தீர்தருளே.
English Meaning
Kantha, you reside peacefully in Tiruttani, Tirupparankunram and Tiruchengodu. These towns have large numbers of coconut groves and colorful flower gardens everywhere. There are also over-hanging clouds that add to their scenic beauty. You are the son of God Sivan who kicked Yama, the God of death and the head of the southern world, so that his body was destroyed. It is amazing that your father, God Sivan, was able to cure the hunch back of the Pandya King with the power of his holy ashes. Why couldn't you perform a similar miracle by bending the sugar cane bow of the beautiful Manmathan and preventing him from throwing his flower arrows on me? In its place you can give me your garland and bless me with your grace.
Verse 57
Tamil Lyrics
தீத்தன் பராவை வெளிநீங்கிச் செய்தொழச் செல்பவுவே
தீத்தன் பராவை முறையிட மாங்குறை தீங்குறவே
தீத்தன் பராவை தழைக்கவீண் காவெனச் செண்ணியின்மேல்
தீத்தன் பராவையில் வேலத்த னேகுரு சீலத்தனே.
English Meaning
Muruka, in response to the complaint from Tirumal, who measured the world with three steps, and the ocean, that the terrible Suran is hiding in the sea in the form of a mango tree and troubling all the good people, God Sivan, your father who wears the river Ganges on his crown, asked you to destroy Suran and save the capital city of Amaravathi. This would ensure that good citizens and ascetics would live peacefully. Taking the command of your father sincerely, you immediately took your celebrated spear in your hands and successfully destroyed Suran, restoring peace and order. You also taught the meaning of Ohm to your father, God Sivan. (We pay our humble homage to you)
Verse 58
Tamil Lyrics
சீலங் கனமுற்ற பங்கா கரசல தீர்க்கனி
சீலங் கனமுற்ற முத்தூர்செந் தூர சிகண்டியஞ்சு
சீலங் கனமுற்ற வேதனை மேவித் தியங்கினஞ்சீ
சீலங் கனமுற்ற விப்பிற பூடினிச் சேர்ப்பதன்றே.
English Meaning
Kantha, you are highly dignified and remain beyond the three flaws inherent in all human beings. You eradicated the darkness in the form of Suran hiding in the sea. You reside peacefully in Tiruchendur where various varieties of pearls are washed ashore. You are faultless in every sense of the word and ride the colorful peacock.
I am tortured by the fire of hunger and remain confused. I can't help thinking that living in poverty is despicable indeed. Is it fair for you to plunge me into births successively and make me go through these sufferings?
(God Muruka, please redeem me from the cycle of births and deaths)
Verse 59
Tamil Lyrics
சேர்ப்பது மாலய நீலோற் பலகிரித் தெய்வவள்ளி
சேர்ப்பது மாலய முற்றா ரெனப்பலர் செப்பவெப்புச்
சேர்ப்பது மாலய வத்தைமன் யாக்கை சிதைவதன்முன்
சேர்ப்பது மாலய வாசவன் செய்திய செப்பத்தே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you are the husband of the divine Valli who lives in Tiruttani Mountain where there are large numbers of ponds in which lotus and water lilies may be seen dangling in the water. Before my impermanent body that is made up of the five conceptual states is destroyed and people talk in a derogatory way that I have been a coward in my life and that I died of sneezing or giddiness, please accept me near your holy red feet, whose glory has been sung by Tirumal, Piraman and Indiran.
Verse 60
Tamil Lyrics
செப்பத் தமதிலை மாற்றார் கொளுமுன்னங் செல்வர்க்கிடச்
செப்பத் தமதிலை யெயங்கனுய் வார்தெய்வ வேழமுகன்
செப்பத் தமதிலை வாணுத நோக்கினர் சேணில்வெளிச்
செப்பத் தமதிலை வென்றார் குமாரவத் திக்கரசே.
English Meaning
Muruka, you have been praised by your older brother, Ganapathi, the elephant God. You are the son of God Sivan, who has the bright third eye in the middle of his forehead and is well known as Chidambara Natesan. God Sivan is famous for destroying the 'flying cities' with high walls made up of bronze, silver and gold respectively. You are the husband of the celestial girl, Deiva Nayaki.
Men, before some unsuspected enemy takes away your hospitable wife, you should indulge in giving alms to the deserving poor. If rich philanthropists do not give alms when things are going well for them, how would the poor people survive?
(I cannot imagine)
