Meaning: (Courtesy: Sthanunathan Ramakrishnan)
Surrender ("pani") to the feet ("taal") of Kumara and sing his praises ("thudhi")
In ("til") this ghastly ("ati ghora") cycle of birth and death ("Samsara"), who ("yaare") else is our
refuge ("gati")...
The one who destroyed ("samhaaram seideera") Surapadma ("suranai") along with ("nodu")
Tarakasura in the battlefield ("samaranthanil"), the beautiful one ("singaara"), The son of Shankara
("Shankara Kumaran ...")
He is the lord ("eeshan") and the lover ("neshan") of Valli and deivanai. He is the resident ("vaasan")
of the hearts ("hrudaya") of his devotees ("bhakta") and is six-faced ("shan-mukha"). Surrender to
the feet of the family-deity ("kula-deiva") of Ramadhasan-Kumaran ...
