Notation

From Shivkumar Kalyanaraman (shivkumar.org)

Pallavi:
Swaaminaatha paripaalayaasumaam
swaprakaasa valleesa guruguha devasenesa
Samashti charanam:
Kaamajanaka bharatheesa sevitha
kaarthikeya naaradaadi bhaavita
vaamadeva paarvati sukumaara
vaarijaastra sammohitaakaara

Kaamitaartha vitharana nipuna charana kaavya naatakaalankaara bharana
bhumijalaagni vaayugaganakirana bhodharupa nithyaananda karana
Meaning: (From Todd McComb, D. Sivakumar, TK Govinda Rao)

(Swaaminaatha - Lord Shanmukha is named thus for teaching the secret meaning of Om to Lord Siva)

O Swaaminaatha, please protect (“paripalaya”) me (“maam”) without any delay. You, the self-effulgent
(“swa-prakaasha”), Lord (“eesha”) of Valli and Devasena. ( Construction of Valleesa Guruguha
Devasenesa sentence reflects the sanctum-santoram of Thirupparankundram)

He, Karthikeya the one adored (“sevitha”) by Lord Vishnu, father (“janaka”) of Kaama and Lord
Brahma (the husband of Bharati (Saraswati)—“Bharatheesha”). Fostered by Kritikaa ladies
(“karthikeya”). Adored (“bhaavitha”) by Sages including Sage Narada. Son (“sukumaara”) of Lord
Siva ( Addressed as “Vaamadeva”, musical face of Lord Siva) and Goddess Paarvati. Hands are
beautiful like bloomed lotus flower (“vaarijaasthra”). Create temptation (“sammohita”) for betterment.

His feet (“charana”) are capable (“nipuna”) of bestowing the gift (“vitharana”) wealth (“artha”) &
boons as wished (“kaamitha”) . He nurtures (“bharana”) poetry (“kavya”), literature (“alankaara”),
drama (“naataka”). Bliss (“bodha”) form (“rupa”) made out (“kirana”) of five basic elements earth
(“bhumi”), water (“Jala”), fire(“agni”), air (“vayu”) and sky (“gagana”). He is the form of knowledge
(“bodha rupa”) and the donor of eternal (“nitya”) joy (“ananda karana”) on his devotees.
