Eppadi than en ullam pugundu ennai adimai
kondiro (swamy)
How did you manage to open my heart and
enslave me âለለ Oh Swamy!
Isai tharum kuzhalodu kundalam olira
Ivai tharum suvaiyodu vandinam murala The flute sings its melodies, the earrings dazzle Among all this sweetness, the bees sing theirs nadam aadum vithagane
The pure person beyond compare
He who danced atop a snake
Ulagirundha vaay thirandha padiyo
Alladhu uralodu pinaindhu irundha padiyo
He who contained the world within himself
(Referring to the incident where his mother
Yashoda sees the world in his mouth)
He who was tied to the mortar
veliyil solla manam thulludhe
solla venum venum endra aasai kolludhe The heart is unable to contain this emotion within The heart desires to express itself padathil ennai thalludhe
I feel shy looking at your cool, bright face
And am pushed towards your fresh lotus feet
Ini oru ulagam unai thavira yenak oru sugam illai
yena thandhavaa
Thani oru mudi mel ilamayil nadi tharu thogai
aniya thandhavaa
He who left me no comfort anywhere, except in
He who wears a peacock feather on his head
Uri yeri kalavaadi thozharodu unakenakena
thindravaa
Oorariyum munbu annaiyidam sendru ondrum
ariyaadu nindravaa
He who stole butter from the pots and shared it
with his friends
And ran up to his mother and stood innocently
before complaints reached her.
