இன்றுசெய் வோமித னில்திரு ஏகம்பர்க் கெத்தனையும்நன்றுசெய் வோம்பணி நாளையென் றுள்ளிநெஞ் சேயுடலில்சென்றுசெ யாரை விடும்துணை நாளும் விடாதடிமைநின்றுசெய் வாரவர் தங்களின் நீள்நெறி காட்டுவரே.
In plain words
O heart, let us do it today for holy Ēkampar, however little it may be. Those who think, “Tomorrow we will do the service, and do it well,” and so go off into the body's business and do nothing: leave them as companions. Those who stand firm in their servitude every day without fail, to them he will show the long path.
Line by line
Today we will do it, turning from this; for holy Ēkampar, however little, we will do well, the service, tomorrow, so thinking, O heart, into the body's business those who go and do not do, leave as companions; every day, unfailing, servitude those who stand and do, to them he will show the long path indeed.
