who is proud of his nephew Murugā, the son of that Lord who was instrumental in
spreading Bharathanātyam.(Śhiva)
Note:
[1] The term nephew of Vishnu/mal has been used to describe both Muruga
(for example, in the phrase mal maruga muruga shanmukha guha)and Ganapati (for
example, in the sloka - srikanto matulo yasya...)
[2] Obviously a convoluted way as any other to refer to the cosmic dancer,
Śhiva.
Anu pallavi: inai kuridal aguma?=is it possible at
all to speak of anyone equal to him? He is incomparable.
caranam: paravi and pugazhndu (praise) mean the same. Repetition for emphsis, i
suppose.
you can also read it as the son of one who was instrumental in spreading
bharata kalai and tan maruagan enum tirumal tanai=that vishnu who is proud to
own murugan as his nephew.
