English translation: Annamalai, that very day you took charge of me, this slave, you took possession of soul and body. Is there any deficiency for me? Both defects and qualities, except you, I do not think of these. My life, whatever be thought, do that. Eye, just give only a flood of love for your pair of feet. Explanatory paraphrase: Annamalai [Arunachala], that very day you took charge of me, [your] slave [servant or devotee], you took possession of [my] soul and body. [Therefore] is there any kuṟai [imperfection, deficiency, need, want, dissatisfaction or grievance] for me? [Since] both kuṟai [imperfections, flaws, faults, defects, impurities or vices] and guṇam [good qualities or virtues] [cannot exist independent of you or as other than you], I do not think of them but only of you. My uyir [life or soul, implying my real nature, the soul of my soul], whatever be [your] thought [intention, aim, plan or wish], do that. [My] kaṇ [eye, implying both my beloved (the one who is dearer to me than my own eyes) and my own real awareness (which is what is always shining in my heart as ‘I am')], just give [me] only a flood [surge, increase, overflow or abundance] of love for your pair of feet.

Explanatory paraphrase: Arunachaleswara [God in the form of Arunachala], you are always described by devotees as kāmāri [the slayer of kāma, carnal desire]. Yes, yes, true. [However] I doubt whether this [name] is suitable for you. If it is suitable, how is that mighty [or skilful] Anangan [‘he who is bodiless', namely Kama, the god of carnal desire], though he is indeed brave and powerful, able to enter within a mind that takes refuge in the fortress of the feet of you, who are kāmāri [the slayer of Kama]?
