The mother who lovingly understood my hunger, fed me with her milk, and gently patted my back after nourishing me...
My younger brothers who served me with respect, my devoted attendants, my affectionate sisters, and all my dear relatives who cherished me as their very life...
My sons, my wife, and all those who spoke kindly, helped me in times of need, and lived with me as family...
When they all gather around me, weeping, their hair disheveled, falling to the ground in grief, and my lifeless body is placed upon the funeral bier...
At that very moment, when Yama, the god of death, approaches me, You must come riding on Your mighty peacock and reassure me, saying, "Do not fear."
Tell Yama, "This person is my beloved devotee," and graciously take me under Your protection.
O heroic Lord who delights the heart of the daughter of the mountain (Parvati), whose beautiful bosom overflows with motherly love, O Peacock-riding Warrior!
O Lord who dwells in the sacred city of Senthil, blessed by the grace of Shiva, whose matted locks bear the crescent moon, the serpent, and the holy Ganga—protect me forever.
The central theme of this hymn is a heartfelt plea to Lord Murugan to grant protection and liberation at the moment of death, reminding us that worldly relationships end with this life, but divine grace alone accompanies the soul beyond death.
