Twelve aspects of Muruga

Twelve aspects of Muruga

By

P.R,Ramachander

(The poem was written based on a similar  tamil poem given below  . in case of 6^th  and 10^th line , the author of the poem did not use numbers but used   words string with numbers.I tried my best  and has come out with this English  poem.) 

One truth , after hearing its explanation  , Siva became happy,

Two  truths  not being there  made  him happy in his mind

Three eyes of Lord Shiva  sent out fire sparks which became Muruga

The four headed  Brahma   became ashamed as he was imprisoned,

Five headed Lord Shiva    was less  pretty than him in  the temple,

Six   star  constellation  of Krithika   looked   after him  when he was born

Seven worlds bowed before him and they praised   and saluted him,

Eight directions  of the world dashed against each  other to see  his divine  luster

Nine  doors of the body   enclosed   him   within them  as a  lustrous flame

Ten type of   attachments were  left off, and he was caught as the only help,

Eleven parts of the great god were happy on seeing him as child

Twelve  eyed God  would be bent and saluted by us

Ondru aakum   unmai   padavurayum kettu  magizhave,

Irandu aththa param porulum  than  manathil  yennave

Moondru kannan   theeporiyai  murukan aruvaakiye

Nangu thalayanum naanidave , nalamai  chirai cheithu

Iynthu thalayorkkum minjiye   azhakaana yerakathil

Aaruthalum   alithidave azhaku   guru  uruvai

Yezhu lokam yeththiye nindru  poththi vanangi,

Yettu dhikkum mutti thathumbum  arul perum jyothiyai

Onbathu vaasal ullum  olloiyai   nindru,

Pathuthalum vittu  avanai  paththidave gathiyaam,

Pathinondru amsamana paraman makizha balanaana,

Pannirandu kannanaana velanai  panivom
