Some word meanings if it would help:

vandiDil=if you come
Iraindu Siram=two times five heads (rAvaNA's ten heads)
kuRaL vaDivu=dwarf form
aravak koDiyON=one who has a flag of a snake (duryOdanA)
enakkenil (enakku+enil)=if it is for me, for my sake

bhaktha,
You might know that this song is by Ambujam Krishna...

A full translation of aravinda padamalar would be so enjoyable. Arasi has already got it going. Thanks for the trouble.

P: aravinda pada malar nOgumO (unran) aDimai enakku irangi AtkoLLa vandiDil
lotus - feet flower- will it - hurt (your) - slave - for me - have mercy - make yours - if you come
Will it hurt your lotus feet if you, taking mercy on me - your slave, come to make me yours?

A: viraindu tiraikaDal kaDandu arakkanin Iraindu shiram koNDa rAghavanE unran
hurried - the sea - went past - the rAkshasA's - 2x5 - heads - took - O rAghavA - your -> go to pallavi to complete the sentence.

Implied meaning: You slayed rAvanA by crossing great hurdles (or enormous distance). For such a supreme god like you, will it hurt your feet if you come to save a poor soul like me?

C: kuraL vaDivAi vandu IrEzhu ulagu aLandAi caraNamadAl kanni sApamum tIrttAi aravak-koDiyOniDam
vamanA - in the form of -came - 2x7 - worlds- measured - with those feet - woman (girl) - curse - removed - to the one with snake-flag (duryOdanA)
aivarukkAga senRAi karuNAnidhi un tirunAmam sollik-kanindu mey urugiDa azhaittiDum enakkenil
for the five (pANDavAs) - went - treasure of mercy - your - blessed name - saying - ripen/mature(become soft) - body - melt - calling - if for me.

You did great things with your feet: measured the worlds, removed AhalyA's curse, walked to duryOdana as pANDava's messenger; but when it comes to saving me who keeps calling your blessed name, will your feet hurt?

Thanks Enna solven... refreshing. Now, would you be up to tackling Appan Avadaritta...?

Thanks Ravi.

Shyama-priya, here is the other:

Pallavi : (eduppu - samam)

Appan avata(da)ritta kathAmrutam - iyy-
Appan avata(da)ritta kathAmrutam

appan - father, god. iyyappan - shAstA, avadaritta - taking ncarnation, kathA amrutam - sory, ambrosia.
This is the nectarine story of the incarnation of the Iyyappan. [I guess it is iyyan (boss, god) + appan(father, god)] Anybody has a better idea? Does it somehow refer to hari and haran?

Anupallavi(Ist aavarthanam - 3/4 aksharam from sama eduppu)
(IInd aavarthanam - sama eduppu)

MubbhuvanangaLai vAttum mahishamukhi
mudal arakkar karu varukka varum aiyy (appan)
MubbhuvanangaLai - the three worlds, vAttum - torturing, mahishamukhi - wild buffalo-faced rAkshasi,
mudal - starting with, arakkar - the rAkshasAs, karu - embryo, arukka - to cut/destroy, remove even the origin of the stuff being destroyed, varum - (he who) comes

(story of) Iyyappan who comes to destroy completely all the rAkshasAs starting with mahishamukhi who tortured all the three worlds.

Charanam (Ist aavarthanam - 3/4 assharam from sama eduppu(
IInd " - sama eduppu

MOhini vadivukoL malar kaNNan azhagil
mOham kondu kalandAn mukkaNNan - tri

MOhini - female form of Vishnu, vadivukoL - take the form of, malar - flower, kaNNan - (flower) eyed person, azhagil - in (his) beauty
mOham - passion, kondu - had, kalandAn - united, mukkaNNan - three-eyed Siva, tri - three

Siva united with Hari who came in the bewitching form of Mohini.

(balance two avarthanams' tune are like anupallavi - thAlam : sama eduppu)

LOka mangaLa kara moorthy maNikandan
uyar thiru shasthaa enum peyarOdu (Appan)

LOka - world, mangaLa - auspicious, kara - make, capable of making, moorthy - Lord, maNikandan - one with a (golden) bell around his neck,
uyar - exalted, thiru - SrI, blessesd, shAsthA enum peyarOdu - with the name of shAsthA.

Thus came manikaNDan, with the exalted name of shAsthA, to make the three worlds auspicious.
