Meaning of the Tamil Lyrics from Pushpanjali

Post by srijayar »

Hello All,

I am trying to find the meaning for the tamil words in a pushpanjali. I am not a Tamil speaker but have tried to place the lyrics and any meanings I know. Please help me with the translation/corrections.

Ayindu (5) karathone Aanai (order/command?) ma mukgathone sree sidhivinayakanae charanam

Sree Valli Daivayaanai Samethaga Sree Murugunae Sree Shanmugane Charanam

Ilai (no) kanaka sabai (golden dance hall) tanile (at) Tirunatanam (dance of shiva) puriyum (understand) Sree natarajane charanam

Kanaka Saba Pathi (lord at chidambaram) Udaya (of) Mana (mind) maghilupetra Sree Sivakamasundari Charanam

Siva sakthi arul (blessings) petra Bhakti Nirainda Sree Chandikeswara Ne Charanam

Thank you!
