Meaning:
One face frolics mounted on the peacock;
One face speaks the mystic mantra "Aum" with Lord
Siva;
One face eradicates the effects of deeds done by
devotees who chant your name;
One face throws a spear, which pierces the hill called
Krauncham;
One face annihilated the opposing Suran and His
asuric hordes;
One face came to marry Valli;
Please inform me the mystic significance of the six
faces!
Oh Primal One! Oh Lord residing at the Hill
ThiruvaaNamalai!
