I am an ill-tempered raging fool; I always do bad deeds;
I am a characterless, sinning schemer;
I seek the disease of repeated births;
I do not have an iota of prestige, moral, honesty, justice or greatness;
my speech to everyone is packed with lies;
I have an evil mind and I am wicked;
I am stupid; and I am a scum who never bothers to worship Your feet.
Despite all my shortcomings, You must make me join Your devotees;
kindly find a way to bless me accordingly.
You killed the demons who deviated from the right path
(after) fighting with them You wore the Victory Crown!
Your peacock flew with fluttering feathers over the mountains shaking their crests,
and You reined it, mounting it as if it were a horse!
In the heart of the King of famous Kalisai*
You always remain, and that is Your incomparable greatness!
Oh KumarA, You also remain in the place called Veerai*!
You have tremendous valour, Oh VElA, having Your abode at Pazhani!
You are worshipped by all DEvAs, Oh Great One!
