Oh lord (ponnaiyAh), what (Eodu) is the reason/cause (vagai) for you to keep/hold (koNDirukkira) one (oru) leg (kAlai) raised (tUkki) at all times (ennEramum)?

Oh lord of the golden (pon) hall/sabhA (ambalavANarE) situated in the ancient (tollai) city of cidambaram (tillai) that is praised (pOTRum) by the Gods (ponnADar), and spoken very highly of (Etum) by the rich/kings (nannADar), (what is the reason for you to hold one leg aloft at all times) without putting it down (UnrAmal) yourself (tAnum) even now (innam)?

Is it because you walked (naDandO/naDandadO) on the built-up (ekkiya = yagna = yaggiya in tamizh) fire (neruppu) to reduce it to just smoke (Avikka) at daksha-prajApati’s (takkan) house (vITTil)? Or is because you were hurting (nondo) because of a sprain (SuLukku) you suffered (Eri) in reaction (edir) at the time (pOdil) when you kicked (udaitta) lord yama (yamanai)? Or is it because the wear (uraindO) your foot suffered when you caught (piDittu) the moon (candiranai) with great economy of movement (i.e. speed) (cikkanavE), and rubbed (tEytta) him on the ground (nilattil)? Is because it (your foot) got moved/stuck (asaindO) in your ear (kAdu) during your argument (vAdu) with (uDan) the fierce (ugra) cAmuNDi? Or is it because the poison (nanju) that you swallowed (uNDa), after spreading (pUri) all over (ellAm) your body (uDambu), came (vandu) to be concentrated by way (vazhi) of your (left) leg (kAl)? Or is it from exhaustion (calittut-tAnO) after having danced so appropriately (takka), long and hard (kUttADi ADi), for the benefit of both (iruvarkkum) vyAghrapAda (puli) and patanjali (pAmbu)? Or is it just because your golden (por) feet (pAdam) hurt (valittu-tAnO)? My lord (dEvarIr) (what is the reason for you to hold one leg aloft at all times)?
