Translation of song:

What is the benefit of getting to distress having the 
staff, grass, tied grass in one hand and wearing skin?
Oh the Lord of the blue peacock dancing grand town 
(mayilADuthuRai), for those who have experienced the
subtle is even the (sacred) thread needed?

Notes:
1. The ritualistic tools are needed to achieve the
ultimate Goal. However fo0r the one who is already
experiencing the Subtle Truth, even if these tools do
not exist what is the big loss?
2. Through this song appar is not asking the devotee
to throw away these ritual marks. The meaning of the
song is "Don't get stuck to the path. The destination
is the most important." 
   One who has experienced may not give up the ritual.
However its significance would change.
