Meaning:
We are singing the beginning and endless rare great Flame. In spite
of listening to it, Oh the girl with sword like sharp beautiful eye, you
still have not opened your eyes(sleeping). Is your ear senseless ? On
hearing the praise of the perfect feet of the Greatest dEva, which
sound of praise arises at the start of the street, one has forgotten herself
weeping and weeping ! You as if nothing happened are turning here and
there enjoying the soft flowers spread bed coolly, what a pity what a pity !!
Is this your behavior my dear friend ?!

The friends:
Is it the place to play mocking each others ? Who are we ? The
Luminous, the One in the world of shivam, the Lord of small abode
at thillai, who blesses us giving His Floral Feet, for praising
which even the celestial elements (viNNOrkaL) are scared of their
qualification, to that Lord we are lovers.

The girl on the bed:
Oh the people with the ten great characters, the people committed to
the Oldest feet of the Lord, my friends !! I being new slave, is it wrong if
you correct my bad behaviors and take me to the right path ?!
The friends:
Oh dear, don't we know your love ? Don't the people of beautiful
heart sing our Shiva ? Come let us get those (good qualities).

things, hear. Still are you sleeping ? You are lying like the crude hearted
females. How powerful is this sleep !!
