அவரும் நடுங்கி தலை வணங்கினார்
பெற்றோர் முன் நடுங்கி தலை வணங்கினார்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This dramatic theatrical song from the 1946 mythological film 'Sri Murugan' details the rise and tyrannical reign of the demon king Soorapadman and his brothers (Singamugan, Tharagan, and Jamugi). Born from divine forces, the brothers initially bowed in reverence to Lord Shiva and Parasakthi, but soon unleashed unchecked terror across all fourteen realms, setting off the cosmic crisis that eventually required Lord Murugan's divine avatar. The lyricist vividly recounts Soorapadman's horrific atrocities: enslaving the Ashtadikpalakas (guardians of the eight directions), shattering the lives of celestial Devas, terrorizing chaste women into hiding, and invading Swarga (heaven) to capture Lord Indra alive. The recurring refrain passionately questions if such unspeakable evil can ever be praised or tolerated, underscoring the urgent necessity of divine intervention.
