Pallavi

Paraamukham Enayaa Adimaiyidam

Anupallavi:

Araavanai Tuyilum Muraari Pani Tiru-puraariye Arul Tharaamalinnum

Charanam:

Dhaaraniyil PiravaaVaram Arulum Kaarana Viraat-purushanadu Moolaa

thaara Kshetramenum Tiruvaaroorane Raamadaasan Paniharane

Meaning: (approximate)

Why are (“Yen”) you hiding your face (“Paramukham”) from this devotee (“adimai”), O Lord (“ayyaa”)!

You are worshipped (“pani” by Brahma and Krishna, the flute player (“muraari”). You are the lord and resident (“aariye”) of Tiruppur! Why do you still (“innum”) hide without giving me your blessings (“arul tharaamal”) ?

On the judgement day, you are the one who gives the boon of freedom from multiple births. You are the cause (“kaarana”) of everything (“viraat-purushan”). You are the resident (“enum”) of the mooladhara Kshetra. You are the resident of Tiruvaarur! You are the remover of obstacles (“pani harane”) of this ramadasa, i.e., the composer.
