This is a Tamil devotional hymn addressed to Lord Murugan, praising the sacred Arunachala (Arunagiri) and seeking the grace of the Guru and the Lord. A concise English meaning:
Victory, victory to Arunagiri!
I bow to the sacred Arunagiri, the abode of divine light. I meditate upon the holy feet of the Lord, where the sacred mantras of “Siva” and “Namasivaya” shine in countless forms.
O Lord of Arunagiri! Your grace melts the hearts of devotees. Those who surrender at Your feet experience the sweetness of divine wisdom and the nectar of Siva’s holy word.
O wielder of the radiant spear (Vel)! You protect sages who take refuge in You and destroy the evil forces of demons like mountains being burned away by fire.
O Lord who revealed the supreme truth to even the great gods! You are the divine light worshipped by Siva Himself, and You proclaim the highest wisdom into the ears of Your devotees.
O Guru of Arunagiri! By Your grace, the darkness of past karmas is reduced to ashes, and the devotee witnesses Your blissful cosmic dance in the pure light of consciousness.
O glorious Lord of Sivagiri and Arunagiri! You are united with the sweet-voiced Valli, whose words are like the song of a parrot and whose lips are like nectar. May I always dwell in Your grace and worship Your divine feet.
Overall meaning: The hymn is a surrender and praise of Lord Murugan as the supreme Guru and source of liberation. It celebrates His power to destroy ignorance and karma, grant divine wisdom, protect devotees, and bestow the bliss of union with Siva.
