Simple Translation

Oh, Lord enshrined in Teṉtiruvaraṅkam, it is not clear to me what will be the end of this lady's inordinate longing. She calls, "Oh, my Soul, bearing Tirumakaḷ, my Mother, on Your chest," "Oh, Spouse of Dame Earth whom You lifted on Your bent tooth long," "Oh, dear One unto the shepherd girl whom You once took over, slaying the unruly bulls seven with the voice of thunder."
