The meaning for this sabdam was sent to me by our own rshankar a couple of years ago. Thanks rshankar.
Here it is:
Meaning:
Even after seeing/realizing (kaNDum) the inclination (jADai) of my (en) mind/heart (mana) to unite (kUDa) in a lengthy (nIDum) union/sexual union (kalaviyil) with kArtikEya (muruganai) who desires/seeks (nADum) the dancing (ADum) peacock (mayil tanai), is it just/right (nyAyamA) for you (nI) to behave (seivadu) in this arrogant/deceitful (mODi) manner?
Oh friend (sakhi), is it just/right (nyAyamA) for you (nI) to behave (seivadu) in this arrogant/deceitful (mODi) manner at this (iv) time (vELaiyil)?

Oh kArtikEya (muruganE) who resides (vAzh) in pazhani! One who loves (priyanE) being annointed (abhishEka) with milk (pAlum) and honey (tEn) as countless (kODigal - crores) devotees (bhaktar) gather (kUDavE) in an unending stream (anatam), I offer my (endan) obeisence at (SaraNamE) at your (undan) flower-like (malaraDikku).
