In plain words
The poet, to the followers of Śiva: Great or small, it makes no difference: no one at all can stand against the father [Kaṇṇaṉ] of Kāma, the bodiless one, mark this. The one who swallowed the poison of the salt sea [Śiva] said, "It is my duty to protect him", stood beside Bāṇa, and was defeated and fled together with him.
