kO manga … – To have everyone claiming to be kings destroyed and to have the residents of the earth, which is surrounded by ocean, liberated, SrI paraSurAmAzhwAn without minimising his anger, while severing the bodies of the kings with his axe, took up arms and was having great valour; oh you who are desiring to own him!
pU mangai … – periya pirAttiyAr and SrI bhUmip pirAttiyAr are eternally residing with him, and his fame which is visualised as a woman, is shining everywhere; thillaith thiruchchiththirakUdam which has fame and protection.
