Simple translation
thirukkuRungudi is the divine abode where the beetles are sweetly humming in the night and day and where the kuravu tree’s flowers’ fragrance is spreading everywhere in the outside areas; it is the abode of the strong emperumAn who severed the chest and hands of rAvaNan after going there to shatter rAvaNan’s ten heads.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
siram … – To shatter the ten heads [of rAvaNan], SrI rAma went to lankA, eliminated the hardness of rAvaNan’s chest and strength of his shoulders; such manly emperumAn’s abode is thirrukkuRungudi. Without any difference of night and day, always, the beetles are drinking honey and humming.
manRellAm … – All the outside regions are filled with the fragrance of the kuravu tree flowers. This is the abode which has something for every one of our sense organs; the humming sound of the beetles is a feast to the ear; the fragrance of the flowers is a feast to the nose; these two are samples for other enjoyments.
