One that experienced bliss with the Goddess called Sivam
and drank the nectar of "Knowledge of SivA" to quench His hunger;
the dual form of God-Goddess
was merged into one form; and
that new form was experienced with relish by people all over the world.
"It is none other than Him" so said Vishnu, BrahmA and all the DEvAs,
"this younger son of God (Murugan) is that person" as they exclaimed;
the VEdAs also said that it was so.
In order that I too can play (like You), could You ask SivA
to grant me a beautiful spear and a peacock?
The entire world screamed that it (SUran's tyranny) was not fair;
so You took the fiery spear
and beheaded the demons (asuras).
The seven seas rose in commotion and
the great sages were saved when You threw Your spear!
With enchanting beauty like a flower
is the damsel of KuRavas, VaLLi;
You love her as if duty-bound and embrace her!
For destroying the miseries of this lowly self
and removing all my ailments,
You chose the fiery mountain (thiruvaNNAmalai) as Your abode,
Oh Great One!
