dEvi nin vaDivazhagaip-parugi mahA dEvan mati mayanginAn tripurasundari

dEvi, mahAdEvan was besotted (enamored/bewitched) having drunk your beauty, tripurasundari

mUvulagum tozhum mukkaNNan unaip-pirindE mullai naghai mukham kANAdEnginAn umA

the three eyed one that is worshipped by all the three worlds, having been separated from you, was pining for your smile, umA

veTruDal tAngavE shaktiyillAmal engum verikoNDu pittAgi
shuTri alaindE kuTramil manmatan mEl erindu vIzhndAn undan
kurunaghai kaNDanrO shinandaNindAn gaurI

not having the power to be just a body with no sakthi, he roved around mad, got irritated with manmata, who was blameless. And finally he cooled down only after having seen your smile, gauri

(kurunagai, iLanagai etc. whats the equivalent in English? (mullai nagai - believe this technically translates to a smile that exposes the jasmine-like-teeth)

thank you

[Rajani]

Nagai would mean laughter. So Kurunagai or Ilanagai would mean a smile, or gentle smile.

[rshankar]

Nagai would mean laughter. So Kurunagai or Ilanagai would mean a smile, or gentle smile.

For me, the most beautiful description of the dEvi's smile is from SRngAra lahari, where Sri Lingaraja Urs describes it/her as 'angajAri hRdayangama dara hasitE'.... goes straight to Siva's heart!
