Meaning: (approximate: please report any errors)

O Lord (“Pemmaane”)! Please give (“thaarum”) me the boon (“varam”) of no re-births (“piravaa”).

Please give me the boon (“varam”) of no re-births (“piravaa”). Even in case I am re-born (“Pirandhaal”) in (“MElini”) this world (“mAnila”), please give me (“thaarum”) the boon (“varam”) of not forgetting (“maravaa”) to worship at your holy feet (“thiruvadi”).

You are the husband (“Neyaa”) of Parvathi. You help and accompany (“Sahaayaa”) your devotees (“Bhaktha”). You are the life of relationships (“Bandham”). Come O Lord (“Vandharul”) and bless me (”Thaa”). Come (“Mundhai”) and listen (“Kora”) to my prayers (“Vinai”). Come and remove (“Theera”) my unhappy thoughts (“Sindhaakulam”). I want to pray at your (“Endhaayun”) lotus feet (“Paadhaara Vindham”) and reach you (“Thunai Serap”).
