Meaning: (approx.)
P: The feet (“pAdamE”) of Bala-subramanyan are my refuge (“tuNai”). He is the one revered as the essence (“mei-pporuL-Anavan”) of the vedas (“vEdattil”).
A: He is Muruga (“murugan”) who rides on (“uDai”) the blue (“nIla”) peacock (“mayil”). He shows (“kAttiDum”) us (“nammai”) the way to salvation daily (“nittam”). He is the dear nephew of Vishnu (“viSNupriya marugan”) – also a reference to the raga name of Vishnupriya.
C: He is the son (“kumAran”) of Parvati and Parameshwaran (Shiva). He has twelve (“panniru”) eyes (“kaNNuDai”) in his six faces (“Aru-mughan”). He is universally revered (“pArp-pugazhum”) and is the lord (“ANDavan”) that resides on the Palani (“pazhani”) mountain. Ordinary people (“pAmarargaLum”) place their trust (“nambi”) in him and pray to him (“vaNangiDum”).
