Paraatparaa Parameshvaraa Paarvatipate Hara Pashupate

Anupallavi:

Suraasurar Tozhum Paavana Sundara Charanaaravinda Ananta

Charanam:

Ariya Ayanum Kaanaa Ariya Jyoti

Aadi Antamillam-Pazhamanaadi

Meanings: (approximate)

O the Supreme Lord ("parameshwara"), Shiva! Husband ("pathe") of Parvathi! Lord of the cow, nandi ("pashupate")! I bow down to you ("hara").

You are the blemishless one ("paavana") worshipped ("tozhum") by celestials ("suraa") and demons ("asura")! You are beautiful ("sundara") ! Worshipping your feet ("charana") gives bliss ("aravinda") ! You are the immortal and un-ending one ("ananta")!

You are the flame ("jyothi") that has no beginning ("aadi") or end ("anta"). Even Hari ("ari") and Brahma ("ayanum") who tried to search for it could not find ("kanaa") your limits. You are the ancient, ageless one ("pazhamanaadi"). You burnt and reduced to ashes ("eritha") kamadeva ("puram")! You are the one with three eyes ("mu-kkan"). You are the father ("thanthaye") of the auspicious ("punyamoorthi") lord Subramanya.
