MEANING: (approximate)
O Lord ("Arashe")! Give me ("tandu") the greatest ("uyya") and deepest ("antaranga") form of
devotion ("bhakti") and protect ("aalayya") me ("yennai"). I am ("naan") a devotee ("adamai") at
your ("nin") golden ("ponn") feet ("adikku").
You have a beautiful ("sundara") body ("anga"), and you hold the pure Ganga ("Gaangeya") on your
head. You have the form ("anga") of "maragatha". You have the great cow ("mayura") as your vehicle
("turanga").
Your ("Un") face ("mukham") is full of compassion ("nokkum"). Your eyes ("kan") are full of
radiance ("oli") that blesses ("arul") devotees. The pious ones ("sanmata") praise you ("sammata")
with the raga "Shadvidhamargini". You have three ("muk") eyes ("kannan") from which the six-faced
("shan-mukha") muruga ("kanmani") was born. Please bless this Kunjaradaasan's eyes ("kan") with
that deepest form of devotion.
