Will put up the meaning shortly.

[smala]

Looking forward, rshankar. Please can you do the viruttam as well?

Lakshmanji, please post the lyrics for the viruttam also, thanks again.

[rshankar]

Smala,
Here you go. I had translated it before I relaized that PB had already translated the viruttam/pASuram before. It is a composition of toNDaraDipoDi AzhvAr.

The kRti I suspect is a profoundly philosophical one despite it apparent simplicity, and I am not sure that I 'get' everything. In any cae, I am sure that other more qualified than I, like Rajani, Arasi, PB, Ponbhairavi, Punarvasu and many others, will jump in with corrections, clarifications and explanations.

UrilEn kANi illai uRavu maTRoruvar illai
pAril nin pAdamUlam paTRilEn paramamUrti
kAroLi vaNNanE en kaNNanE kadaRuginrEn
AruLar kaLai kaN ammA arangamAnagaruLAnE
I have no place/town to call my own (UrilEn – Ur illAdavan), I have no (illai) land (kANi) [1], no (illai) kith or kin/relationships (uRavu maTRoruvar). Oh supreme (parama) Lord/form (mUrti), in this world (pAril), I have not touched/paid obeisance (paTRilEn) at your (nin) holy feet (pAdamUlam)! My (en) darling (kaNNanE) [2], with the resplendent (oLi) complexion/color (vaNNanE) of a cloud (kAr), I am crying out to you (kadaRugirEn). Oh resident (uLAnE) of the mighty/big (mA) city (nagar) of Sri Rangam (aranga), my mother (ammA) [3], is there (uLar) anyone (Ar) who can destroy (my grievances) (kaLai), and grant me grace (kaN), (other than you)?

pallavi
ADugirAn ennuL pADugirAn kaNNan Ananda rAdhaiyuDan
kRshNa (kaNNan) is dancing (ADugirAn) and signing (pADugirAn) within me (ennuL) along with (uDan) his happy (Ananda) [4] rAdhA (rAdhai).

anupallavi
ODugurAn mana vIDu niRaindavan uccik-kamalattil saccidAnandamAi (ADugirAn…)
He, who has filled (niRaindavan) my heart/mind (mana), a place he calls home (vIDu), is running/moving (ODugirAn), and (is dancing and singing within me with rAdhA) in the highest plane of my being (ucci kamalattil) resulting in saccidAnandam (saccidAnandamAi) [5]!

caraNam
kATRena vandennai kaTTi aNaippAn kadirena kaNNuLLE pudumaigaL kATTuvAn
UTRena vandu inda kUTTai pirittiDuvAn konjum kuzhandaiyAga nenjattirindu nidam (ADugirAn…)
He will come (vandu) and hug (kaTTi) and embrace (aNaippAn) me (ennai) like (ena) the gentle breeze (kATRu); he will display/show/create (kATTuvAn) novelties/miracles (pudumaigaL) inside (uLLE) my eyes (kaNN) like (ena) the Sun (kadir). Coming (vandu) like (ena) the deluge (UTRu), he will separate (pirittiDuvAn) [6] this (inda) fellowship (kUTTai). Residing (irundu) in my heart (nenjattil) as (Aga) a caressing (konjum) child (kuzhandai), (he dances and sings within me with rAdhA) every day/forever (nidam).

FOOTNOTES
[1] kANi is a measure of land, and lest you think it is small, it consists of what we call as 24 ‘grounds’
[2] kaNNan is a term of endearment for someone who is as or more precious than one’s eyes
[3] By crying out to vishNu as ‘ammA’, tonDaraDipoDi AzhvAr, the composer of this pASuram equates the Lord to a mother in compassion and response to a devotee’s/child’s cries
[4] ‘Ananda’ is not just happy, but happiness-inducing as well
[5] sat-cit-Ananda: existence-consciousness-bliss – the essence of the experience when the jIvAtmA unites with the paramAtmA (not sure if this is the composer's mudra as well)
[6] I am not aware of the philosophical implication of this statement

The lyrics and translations add to my delight in listening to this beauty from Sanjay - thanks much!

[vgovindan]

kUTRena vandu ikkUTTaip pirittiDuvAn

This would mean 'He will manifest as yama and rip apart (life from) this body' - (kUTRu - yama; kUDu - body - literally nest; pirittal - to rip open)

[rshankar]

VGV - thank you so much. Makes much better sense. kUTRu is not how Sri Sanjay sings it, though.I hear it as UTRu.
