"Oh wise One who is beyond all virtues,
Oh Leader, You are One without any form,
You are the Essence of all arts,
You are the cousin* of Manmathan, the Lord of Love with five flowery arrows,
Your feet are decorated with kadappa flowers,
You protected the blissful heavenly land of the DEvAs,
You sat on the famous plank of Sangam and You are the wizard of the three branches of Tamil,
You are worshipped in the three branches** (Rigg, Yajur and SAma) of VEdAs,
The living trio of worlds (namely, Earth, Thrisangu world and Heaven) value You as their Treasure,
- so I should sing Your Glory and fall at Your Lotus Feet. Instead,
I am drowned in the huge sea of seven births
and am also caught in the thoughts of my mind, whirlpools of delusion, making me constantly agitated; is it fair?
With the devils singing and dancing around, Lord SivA danced in the cremation ground; Your are the Son of that SivA and Bhageerathi (River Ganga)!
You are the ocean of compassion!
You are the consort of DEvayAnai, Daughter of IndrA who rides the clouds!
You are famous for riding Your Peacock! You are the foremost leader!
You are Lord Kumara fully garlanded! You shine on Your birth star, VishakA!
You are extremely kind and have the complexion of coral!
Your six faces are like lotus flowers!
You are the wizard of all VEdAs! You taunted BrahmA for fun!
You indulged in romantic sport with VaLLi, who is none other than Lakshmi, born among the hunters!
Oh valorous One, You choose mighty mountains as Your abodes! You are courageous!
You act with extreme care and caution!
Your bravery is complete! You have the ferocity needed by a warrior!
You are the fundamental cause of everything!
You are an adventurous and fearless One! You are extremely handsome!
You are beloved of VinAyagA, You hold the Spear as Your weapon, and You are worshipped by all the DEvAs, Oh Great One!
