Like the dark sea
and the hell is the concept of "birth".
If You push me into this "birth",
(please ensure that) I am not deaf, blind or afflicted in any limb,
or affected by poverty even slightly.
Divine figure, higher class by birth,
intelligence and righteous character should all be with me
by Your grace; and
You must come and accept me wholeheartedly as Your slave.
In the battlefield, the demons (asuras) were conquered by You
and their heads rolled;
the huge ocean roared;
the long and tall mount Krouncha was smashed into powder;
when You wielded Your vEl (spear).
Sleeping peacefully on a serpent-bed
is the lotus-eyed Vishnu; You are His nephew!
You are the son of SivA with a black-stained throat!
You reside in Pazhani where DEvAs converge to worship You, Oh Great One!
