நேர்த்தமை யாமை விறற்கொடு வேடர் நெடுஞ்சுரத்தைப்பார்த்தமை யாலிமை தீந்தகண் பொன்னே பகட்டுரிவைபோர்த்தமை யாலுமை நோக்கருங் கம்பர்கச் சிப்பொழிலுள்சேர்த்தமை யாலிமைப் போதணி சீதஞ் சிறந்தனவே.
In plain words
O golden girl, your eyes were scorched to the lids because they looked on the long desert of the cruel hunters of matchless might. Kampar wore the elephant's hide, and so Umā finds him hard to look at. Because we have been brought into his groves in Kanchi, the petals of your eyelids have grown rich in beauty and in coolness.
Line by line
Of the cruel hunters of matchless might, the long desert because they looked on it, O golden one whose eyelids were scorched; the elephant's hide because he wore it, Kampar whom Umā finds hard to look at; into Kanchi's groves because brought, the petals of the eyelids, with beauty, in coolness have grown rich indeed.
