There are some errors in the text. I will ignore them and give you general meaning only.

P: I consider your raised (left) foot to be my salvation (tuNai =help, assistance), Oh, Lord NatarajA! (tUriya can mean poison or drum--both of which are carried by Shiva one in his hand and the other in his neck)

A; You created (Akki) the world, protect (aLittu)it, remove (nIkki) it, hid (maRaittu) it, and provide your grace (aruL). You are great with these 5 acts, oh, Lord of the sabha (kanaka sabhai in Cidambaram)

C: I am tired of the the innumerable births. I have experienced the bitter results of my past and present births. From hereon I am letting my thoughts dwell only on you. There is no other way out. You protect the weak and the downtrodden. Please destroy my bondage to this life, offer your love, and uplift me.

Here is the text from ShuddhAnanda kIrtanAnjali published by Shuddhananda nUlagam.

I think 'turiya' (Turiya Natarajane) means:

Shiva is the Supreme Consciousness that illuminates the three states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep. Offering the threefold bilva leaves to the Shivalinga heralds the return to a level of consciousness beyond the three states, which is the fourth state, turiya. The dawning of that state is consonant with the awakening of the individual.

Akkal, ALittal, nIkkal, maRaittal, aruLudal refer to the pancakAryas of SRShTi, sthiti, laya, tirOdhAna & anugraha respectively. And yes, turIya refers to the 4th state of pure consciousness of the soul AKA brahma

DRS
Shouldn't it be 'Akkal, nilaittal, azhittal, maraittal, aruLudal to correspond to the latter part?

Therefore 'aLittal' seems to be correct.
