O Lord, You are the One who exists as all things —
from the lower worlds (Atala, Vitala) to the highest realms,
as the earth, the celestial worlds of the gods, the cosmic spheres,
the oceans, and everything that exists in all eight directions.
You are like the immortal nectar, the rays of the moon,
the sacred mantras chanted at twilight,
the Vedas that are recited, and the profound philosophical truths.
You are subtler than the atom and yet pervade everything completely;
this is the ancient and eternal truth.
When the darkness of ignorance disappears at the moment of dawn,
when the lotus of the heart blossoms open,
when true awareness arises within,
please come before me and bless me with that divine experience
which the mind can attain.
If You bless me with the ability to compose naturally flowing, pure Tamil poetry,
if my mind remains absorbed in sweet and devotional songs,
and if I can praise You as Your worthy servant,
would I ever place my faith in this worldly existence instead of You?
(The following lines are rhythmic drum sounds, describing the divine dance and battle energy.)
Thatha thatha thatha… thithi thithi… thagugu thagugu…
These are the powerful beats of drums and divine rhythms resounding.
With the sounds of patalai, timilai, drums and great war instruments,
the whole universe trembles;
the fierce goddess Kali rises,
holding and tearing apart the entrails and bones of demons.
The foxes cry, vultures flap their wings,
and the fierce battle scene unfolds.
Having conquered the mighty enemies and gained victory,
You, O Lord of the gods, came and dwelt upon the sacred Palani hill.
Meaning in essence:
The hymn praises Lord Murugan as the Supreme Reality who pervades the entire universe, grants spiritual awakening, inspires divine poetry, destroys evil forces, and resides gloriously at Palani. The devotee prays to become completely devoted to Him rather than being attached to worldly illusions.
