Tamil Transliteration 

thaar amar konraiyum shanbaga maalaiyum chaaththum thillai

Urardham baakaththu umai mainthane! -ulaku Ezhum petra

cheer abhirami anthaathi eppothum en sinthaiyulle-

kaar amar menik Ganaapathiye! -nirkak katturaiye.

Translation

Red Iris and Champaka flowers

Adorning the Lord of Thillai!

Gracefully sharing half of His

With His consort Luminous Uma the serene!

Ye the beautiful, son of that Gracious Couple!

Bless me to instill, imbibe and radiate

Verses of Abhirami, whose first word tails the last word

Extolling the Mother of the seven worlds

Simple Meaning:

Hey Ganapathy the son of Lord Siva who wears a variety of garlands and His consort who occupies half of His body, you are beautiful; bless me so that I am always immersed in Abhirami Andhadhi which extols My Abhirami who is the Mother all the seven worlds

Commentary:

The philosophy here is that prayers are made to Ganapathy Son of Abhirami to make the poet meditate on Abhirami Andhadhi; the Goddess Abhirami is the creator of the seven worlds; She is the mother of Ganapathy also; Son is required to bless a deed involving His Mother; in the higher sphere all are one; nothing is greater and nothing is lesser. With this in mind if we proceed further, Abhirami will appear in front of you, the reader before you complete 100 slogans
