வளையார் பசியின் வருந்தார் பிணியின்மதன னம்புக்கிளையார் தனங்கண் டிரங்கிநில் லாரிப் பிறப்பினில்வந்தளையார் நரகினுக் கென்கட வார்பொன் னலர்ந்தகொன்றைத்தளையார் இடைமரு தன்னடி யார்அடி சார்ந்தவரே.
In plain words
They will not bend under hunger. They will not suffer in sickness. They will not grow weak before the arrows of Madana. They will not stand melting at the sight of breasts. They will not come into this birth and be caught up in its ways. What do they owe to hell, those who have reached the feet of the servants of the Lord of Iṭaimarutu, whose wreath is koṉṟai blossomed in gold?
Line by line
they will not bend in hunger; they will not suffer in sickness; to Madana's arrow they will not grow weak; seeing breasts, melting, they will not stand; in this birth having come they will not be caught up in its ways; to hell what do they owe? golden-blossomed koṉṟai whose wreath it is, of the Lord of Iṭaimarutu, the servants' feet, those who have reached them indeed.
