Meaning and English translation Requested

Post by Sundara Rajan »

பஞ்சி ஒளிர் விஞ்சுகுளிர் பல்லவம் அனுங்க
செஞ்செவிய கஞ்சம் மிக திங்களடியளாகி
அம்சமிள மங்கையென அன்னமெனமின்னும்
வஞ்சியென நஞ்சமென வஞ்சமகள் வந்தாள்

I came across this beautiful description (by Kamban in his Kamba RamAyaNam) of the arrival of Soorpanaka before Rama in DandakaaraNya with the intention to seduce him. While I could enjoy the literary beauty of the passage, I am unable to translate it in entireity.
I request any one more knowledgeable in Tamil to give the exact meaning and translation. Thank you
