kaaNa vENDum lakshham kaNgaL - Meaning and Notation

[shobana]

Namaskaram!

1) Can someone please help me with the meaning for Arunachala Kavirayar's "kaaNa vENDum lakshham kaNgaL".
2) I believe this composition is in Ata Talam chapu, however I see this is mostly set to Adi talam. May I please get notation in the original talam?
3) Also is this sung by Soorpanagai describing Sitadevi to Ravana?

[email protected] is my email id.

Thank you,
Shobana

[Lakshman]

It is sent.

[shobana]

Received notations. Thank you.
I'll try to work on the meaning and post here as much as I can so that someone could correct it.

Namaskaram,
I did the translation from the perspective of Soorpanaka instigating and persuading Ravana as a revenge for Lakshmana's actions towards her. So this is not a devotee or an admirer praising the beauty of Sita.

Someone pls check the translation and provide your inputs.

Need hundred thousand (lakh) eyes to see (the beauty of Sitadevi),
