MEANING: (approximate)

O Lord ("Arashe")! Give me ("tandu") the greatest ("uyya") and deepest ("antaranga") form of devotion ("bhakti") and protect ("aalayya") me ("yennai"). I am ("naan") a devotee ("adamai") at your ("nin") golden ("ponn") feet ("adikku").

You have a beautiful ("sundara") body ("anga"), and you hold the pure Ganga ("Gaangeya") on your head. You have the form ("anga") of "maragatha". You have the great cow ("mayura") as your vehicle ("turanga").

Your ("Un") face ("mukham") is full of compassion ("nokkum"). Your eyes ("kan") are full of radiance ("oli") that blesses ("arul") devotees. The pious ones ("sanmata") praise you ("sammata") with the raga "Shadvidhamargini". You have three ("muk") eyes ("kannan") from which the six-faced ("shan-mukha") muruga ("kanmani") was born. Please bless this Kunjaradaasan's eyes ("kan") with that deepest form of devotion.
