How many crores upon crores of lives have been wasted in vain!
How many countless births have already passed away—who can even measure them?
Thus, deluded by desire and worldly enjoyment,
I have become trapped in this endless cycle.
What will become of me hereafter?
Ashamed of my own condition, caught in the deceptive net of illusion (Maya),
I continue to suffer and waste my life.
O Lord! Bless me with the wondrous wisdom of Your sacred feet,
Where the masters of refined Tamil and true knowledge rejoice in divine bliss.
O Six-Faced One, who eternally performs the cosmic dance
In the hearts of those who constantly meditate upon You,
Grant them the supreme state of liberation.
O Son of Lord Shiva,
Who shares His form with Goddess Parvati,
Who bears the trident in His hand,
And whose divine form transcends all limitations—
O Hero who rides the magnificent blue peacock,
Who subdued the mighty demon with countless fierce heads,
And whose feet grant complete protection—
O Lord of Velur,
Where tender blossoms bloom, palm groves flourish, and fish leap through fertile waters,
You are the Supreme Lord worshipped by the Trinity and all the gods.
Essence of the hymn:
The poet laments the countless births wasted in attachment, desire, and illusion. Realizing the emptiness of worldly pleasures, he prays to Lord Murugan to remove ignorance, grant spiritual wisdom, and lead him to liberation through devotion to His sacred feet.
