ஆபத்திருளற அருள் ஒளி தரும்
அப்பனே அண்ணலே ஐயா வா
பாபத் திரள் தரும் தாபம் அகல வரும்
பழனி வளர் கருணை மழையே வா

Oh Muruga, who lives in Pazhani malai, come to protect me.
Come, O son of Siva. Come, O Guha (the hidden one), who sits on Parvati’s lap.
Come, O husband of Valli and Deivayanai.
Come O Sharavana, the supremely kind being.
Come, you who bestow light to remove the darkness of danger.
Come, you who remove longing and sin, you the shower of kindness, who grew up in Pazhani.
Come, you who give shade to protect me from the hot rays of intense longing, you who are the Guru of our community.
Come, you who are the nephew of Vishnu, the one worshipped by Ramadasa, a gem like being.
