Here you go:

caraNam 2:
The sister (sahOdari) that vishNu (hari) delights in (magizhum), the beguiler (manOhari) of the kapAlik [1], Siva (kapAli), the dEvi who blesses (aruLum) the composer (rAmadAsanukku) by removing/destroying (agaTRi) the worldly (bhava) miseries (piNi) that we are living through/experiencing (irum)!

FOOTNOTE
[1] kapAlik/kApAlik - Siva as the destroyer, the keeper of the cemeteries, in one his feared forms, and yet considered the epitome of handsome manliness (as described in the same composer's composition in mOhanam - kapAli, karuNai mazhai pozhiyum...)

rshankar, thanks a bunch!
I got thrown off by "hari magizhum sahodari" - didn't look at it from this context. I actually expected you to help me out! :) Thanks again!
