Parimal, here are the lyrics and meaning of the caraNasAhityam:

oLirum kaNgaL aruLai aLLi vazhangiDa
karumbu villai kaiyil Endiya deivam
naLinakAntI kanciyil kOvil koNDa kAmAkshI


As the lustrous (oLirum) eyes (kaNgaL) shower (vazhangiDa) torrents of (aLLi) [1] grace (aruLai), the goddess (deivam) who holds (Endiya) a bow (villai) made of sugar-cane (karumbu) in her hand (kaiyil), the very embodiment of beauty (naLinakAnti), kAmAkshI who is established (koNDa) in a temple (kOvil) in kAncIpuram (kAnciyil).

[1] aLLi vazhangIda litreally means to give a huge amount (aLLi - gather a huge amount in one's hands)
