Thank you for the lyrics. That helps. Any pointers on the Meanings.

Here is an attempt to translate :
ayyA - O Lord!
ulagilE - In this world
viri kaDal shUzh - surrounded by the vast ocean,
yAr - who (can be)
sari nigar samAna deivam - a god equal
unakku - to you?

(unaiyanri means apart from you but that does not fit)

harihara sutanE - O Son of Hari and Hara!
parivuDan aruL - shower your grace with kindness,
shabarimalai tigazhbavanE - O One residing in Sabarimalai!

[Rajani]

C1 :
tiripuram eritta shivaperumAnum alaikaDal tuyilvOrum magizh maganE - O Son in whom Shiva(who burnt the Tripuras) and Vishnu ( who sleeps in the ocean) take delight!
kaliyuga varadanE - O One specially benevolent in Kaliyuga.
bhuviu tanai kAttiDum - who protects the world
puliyadan mEl amarndu - Seated on a tiger!
padamalar paNindEn - I salute your lotus feet!

[Rajani]

C2:
mangaLa rAjakumAranE - O Auspicious Prince!
pampai nadi karai vAzhbavanE - O Resident of the banks of Pampa river!
aruL tarum ayyappanE - O Ayyappa showering grace
padineTTu paDiyinil pADi varum bhaktarkk(u) - upon devotees who climb up the eighteen steps singing (praises)!

kArtikai tingaL mAlai aNIndu - After being initiated with the Malai in the month of Karthikai,
inba svAmiyE sharaNam sharaNam enru - joyfully chanting "Swamiye Sharanam",
kallum muLLum kaDandu - crossing (paths with) stones and thorns,
un sannidAnam sharaN aDaindu - reaching your shrine as their refuge.
(The last 2 lines have to be looped back to padinettu paDiyinil for the meaning to be complete)
