Verse 7:


துணையார முயங்கிப்போய்த் துறைசேரும் மடநாராய்
பணையார வாரத்தான் பாட்டோவாப் பழனத்தான்
கணையார விருவிசும்பிற் கடியரணம் பொடிசெய்த
இணையார மார்பனென் னெழினலமுண் டிகழ்வானோ.

Young crane going to the ghat after embracing tightly your mate!  Siva in Pazhaṉam, where songs never cease and there is always the loud noise of drums, will Siva who wears two garlands on his chest and who reduced to dust the well-guarded forts that were wandering in spacious sky to fall a prey to the arrow, having enjoyed my beauty and other excellence, neglect me?

Arunachala Siva.

[Subramanian.R]

Verse 8:

கூவைவாய் மணிவரன்றிக் கொழித்தோடுங் காவிரிப்பூம்
பாவைவாய் முத்திலங்கப் பாய்ந்தாடும் பழனத்தான்
கோவைவாய் மலைமகள்கோன் கொல்லேற்றின் கொடியாடைப்
பூவைகாள் மழலைகாள் போகாத பொழுதுளதே.


Siva in Pazhaṉam which is inundated by the damsel of the Kaveri of dancing waves in which pearls shine and which flows wafting on the banks the precious stones which are found in heaps, the husband of the daughter of the mountain who has red lips like the common creeper of the hedge.  Bush-mynas which perch on the cloth of the banner of a killing bull!  Female bush-mynas which prattle sweet words! I have days that hang on me long.

Arunachala Siva.

[Subramanian.R]

Verse  9:

புள்ளிமான் பொறியரவம் புள்ளுயர்த்தான் மணிநாகப்
பள்ளியான் றொழுதேத்த விருக்கின்ற பழனத்தான்
உள்ளுவார் வினைதீர்க்கு மென்றுரைப்ப ருலகெல்லாம்
கள்ளியே னானிவர்க்கென் கனவளையுங் கடவேனோ.

Siva who stays in Pazhaṉam where Brahma who holds aloft the swan in his banner and Vishnu who is lying on a bed of a serpent having a jewel in its hood, worship and praise the spotted deer skin and cobra with a spot. All the people of the world say that Siva would remove the karmas of those who meditate on him.  Not only have I who am a deceitful person been not rid of my karnas but should I also lose my heavy bangles?  (As the love-sick lady could not bear the pangs of separation, even bangles become a burden.).

Arunachala Siva.

[Subramanian.R]

Verse  10:


வஞ்சித்தென் வளைகவர்ந்தான் வாரானே யாயிடினும்
பஞ்சிக்காற் சிறகன்னம் பரந்தார்க்கும் பழனத்தான்
அஞ்சிப்போய்க் கலிமெலிய வழலோம்பு மப்பூதி
குஞ்சிப்பூ வாய்நின்ற சேவடியாய் கோடியையே.


Though the Lord in Pazhaṉam where the swans with feet and feathers as soft as cotton make a loud noise spreading themselves, robbed me of my bangles by deceiving me, does not come to me.  The deity that resides in the circles of Kootal, which placed its red feet as a flower that is worn on the head of Appūti who maintains the three sacrificial fires to make the evils of Kaliyuga to become weak.  (Let the lines for Kootal join together. Drawing Kootal is one of the ways by which love-sick ladies get satisfaction.  This is mentioned in Tēvāram by Appar. Kōzhampam, 4;  Tirumarukal 8;  In this verse there is a reference to Appūti Nāyaṉār who worshipped Tirunāvukkarasar as god himself.  There is no mention of Ravanaṉ in this verse.)

Verse 1:

விடகிலே னடிநாயேன் வேண்டியக்கா லியாதொன்றும்
இடகிலே னமணர்கள்த மறவுரைகேட் டலமந்தேன்
தொடர்கின்றே னுன்னுடைய தூமலர்ச்சே வடிகாண்பான்
அடைகின்றே னையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


I who am following god like a dog who am as low as a dog am not able to leave the desire for wealth I am incapable of giving even a small amount when somebody wants something to be given;  I got confounded on hearing the moral instruction of Jains, I am coming to have a view of your red feet like flawless flowers, following you.  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāṟan.

Arunachala Siva.

Verse 2:

செம்பவளத் திருவுருவர் திகழ்சோதி குழைக்காதர்
கொம்பமருங் கொடிமருங்குற் கோல்வளையா ளொருபாகர்
வம்பவிழு மலர்க்கொன்றை வளர்சடைமேல் வைத்துகந்த
அம்பவள வையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


Siva has a sacred body like the red coral, wears on his ear an ornament which is glittering like the stars, and has on one half a lady wearing a collection of bangles and has a waist like the creeper which spreads on a tender branch. I saved myself by becoming the protege of Siva in Aiyāṟu which has beautiful corals, who rejoiced in placing on his growing matted locks, Koṉṟai flowers which unfold their fragrance.

Verse 3:


நணியானே சேயானே நம்பானே செம்பொன்னின்
துணியானே தோலானே சுண்ணவெண் ணீற்றானே
மணியானே வானவர்க்கு மருந்தாகிப் பிணிதீர்க்கும்
அணியானே யையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.

Siva who is near at hand to devotees! And who is far away from those who are not his devotees! The one in whom one can repose confidence, one who wears a cloth made a pure gold!  The one who wears skin at the same time!  The one who besmears his body with the powder of holy white ash.  The one who is as valuable as a precious stone! He who is the inner life of those who seek bliss and cure the impurities of their souls!  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāṟu Siva.

Arunachala Siva.

Verse  4:

ஊழித்தீ யாய்நின்றா யுள்குவா ருள்ளத்தாய்
வாழித்தீ யாய்நின்றாய் வாழ்த்துவார் வாயானே
பாழித்தீ யாய்நின்றாய் படர்சடைமேற் பனிமதியம்
ஆழித்தீ யையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


You were the fire that destroys everything at the end of an eon.  You stay in the minds of those who meditate upon you. You were the three fires that are indispensable for life to exist in the body. You are in the mouths of people who praise
you.  You are the strong fire that is useful for creation and which was feared by Vishnu and Brahma.  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Siva who has on his spreading matted locks, a cool crescent moon which is like the fire in the ocean.
This fire is in the shape of mare's head and until the time of destruction comes, it would be dormant.  The moon though cool to others will be like fire for lovers who are separated from each other. 

Arunachala Siva.

Verse 5:


சடையானே சடையிடையே தவழுந்தண் மதியானே
விடையானே விடையேறிப் புரமெரித்த வித்தகனே
உடையானே யுடைதலைகொண் டூரூருண் பலிக்குழலும்
அடையானே யையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


Siva who has matted locks one who has a cool crescent moon that crawls in the matted locks. The one who has a bull!  Able person who burnt the cities riding upon a bull! My Lord!  The one who is the refuge for all living beings and who wander from village to village for food by begging alms carrying a broken skull!  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāru Lord.

Arunachala Siva.

Verse 6:

நீரானே தீயானே நெதியானே கதியானே
ஊரானே யுலகானே யுடலானே யுயிரானே
பேரானே பிறைசூடீ பிணிதீர்க்கும் பெருமானென்
றாராத வையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.

Siva who is the water!  He who is the fire!  He who is treasure to me!
He who is the right path to me who is the many villages!  He who is the world!
He who is the body!  He who is the life within me!  He who has many names!
He who wears a crescent moon.  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāu Lord, of insatiate sweetness by uttering the great one who removes all diseases.

கண்ணானாய் மணியானாய் கருத்தானா யருத்தானாய்

விண்ணானாய் விண்ணிடையே புரமெரித்த வேதியனே
அண்ணான வையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.

You are the eye, you are the apple of the eye, you are my thoughts, you are the pleasures that are enjoyable, you are mathematics, you are grammar, you are the nature of the grammar. (According to Saivism they mean Nadam, Vindhu, and the actions of Vindhu.). You are the space,  you are the Brahmin who burnt the cities in the sky.  I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāru Lord who is always near me.

மின்னானா யுருமானாய் வேதத்தின் பொருளானாய்
பொன்னானாய் மணியானாய் பொருகடல்வாய் முத்தானாய்
நின்னானா ரிருவர்க்குங் காண்பரிய நிமிர்சோதி
அன்னானே யையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.

You are the lightning, you are the thunder, you are the meaning of the Vedas, you are the gold;  you are precious stones, you are the pearl that is produced in the sea which hits the shore with its waves, you who are the tall and immeasurable fire which could not be seen by both Vishnu and Brahma, who thought individually that they were equal to you! I saved myself by becoming the protege of Aiyāṟu Lord.

முத்திசையும் புனற்பொன்னி மொய்பவளங் கொழித்துந்தப்
பத்தர்பலர் நீர்மூழ்கிப் பலகாலும் பணிந்தேத்த
எத்திசையும் வானவர்க ளெம்பெருமா னெனவிறைஞ்சும்
அத்திசையா மையாறார்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


As the river Poṉṉi* with sacred water in which there are pearls, pushes up and washes on the banks coral which are crowded, the many devotees bathe in the river and worship Siva many times.

அருவரைசூ ழையாறர்க் காளாய்நா னுய்ந்தேனே.


To destroy the haughtiness of the king of Lanka, girt by the sea and black mountain Siva who has an auspicious form and who performed the act of kicking by his holy toe, and became great.  I saved myself by becoming the protege of the god in Aiyāṟu which is surrounded by a wall of enclosure, and who is worshipped by the people of the world surrounded by big mountain addressing him by his name 'Nanti'

General:

Verse  1:

பருவரை யொன்றுசுற்றி யரவங்கைவிட்ட விமையோரிரிந்து பயமாய்த்
திருநெடு மானிறத்தை யடுவான்விசும்பு சுடுவானெழுந்து விசைபோய்ப்
பெருகிட மற்றிதற்கொர் பிதிகாரமொன்றை யருளாய்பிரானே யெனலும்
அருள்கொடு மாவிடத்தை யெரியாமலுண்ட வவனண்டரண்ட ரரசே.


Winding round a big mountain Mantaram - (Meru is another version.)  the celestial beings who do not wink, abandoned the serpent wound round the mountain seized with fear, running helter-skelter on seeing the rising of the poison.  In order to destroy the white color of the tall Vishnu who has the goddess of wealth and to burn the sky, when the poison was increasing in its vehemence rising and going fast.
When the celestial beings requested Siva, "Lord!  Grant us a remedy for this poison with his benign grace."  That Siva is the only supreme Lord of the celestial beings, who consumed the big poison without allowing it to burn all the worlds.
