mazhuvaaL = kOdaali, i.e. ax or hatchet

Here is the entire paasuram:

\bt

irun^ila mannar thammai irun^aalum ettum oru naalum onRum udanE

serun^udhalOdu pOgi avaraavi manga mazhuvaaLil venRa thiRalOn

peru nilamangai mannar malar mangai naadhar pulamangai kELvar pugazhsEr

perun^ilam uNdu umizhndha peruvaayar aagiyavar nammaiyaaLvar peridhE.

\et

 

seru nudhal oodu pOgi = entering into battle with

irun^ila mannar thammai = those kings who ruled the earth;

irun^aalum ettum oru naalum onRum = 2x4 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 21 times

avar aavi manga mazhuvaaLil venRa = (you went around the earth)

with your hatchet and destroyed them all,

thiRalOn = great one;

 

perun^ila mangai mannar = pathi of boomi piraatti

malar mangai naadhar = sriyappathi

pulam mangai kELvar = napinnai's Lord

perun^ilam uNdu umizhndha naathar = the Lord who swallowed the earth

and then brought it back out

aagiyavar perithE = they are of special significance.

 

 

The first two lines are about parasuraamar's vengeful

battle against kshatriyaas in which he went around

the earth 21 times and destroyed all kshathriyaas with

his kOdaali.
