O Lord! I do not know how to fix my mind, even for half a minute, upon Your lotus feet in disciplined meditation and penance.
Instead, I remain a foolish, ignorant person, trapped in the endless cycle of worldly existence, overwhelmed by the burden of accumulated karma, living in loneliness and delusion. Will I continue to suffer in this way?
O Son of the Lord of Mount Kailasa! If You do not show me Your compassion, tell me what fault is mine at this critical moment.
O One adorned with radiant gem-studded golden garlands, fragrant flowers, and beautiful ornaments upon Your broad shoulders!
This is the right time. Grant me lasting happiness, abundant prosperity, every noble blessing, and a life filled with all auspicious attainments.
Bestow upon me excellence, the wisdom of Shiva (Supreme Knowledge), liberation (Mukti), and the highest spiritual state (Paragati). O Lord who wields the sharp Vel (divine spear), bless me so that I may perform worthy spiritual service.
O Hero who rides the peacock! You who graciously bestowed the rare and beautiful Tamil hymns that eternally praise Your reddish lotus feet—
O Muruga, who shines gloriously upon the wondrous hill of Pazhani and abides in the beautiful sacred abode of Tiruveragam (Swamimalai), I surrender to You.
