koNda peNdir thAm mudhalAk kURum uRRAr kanmaththAl
aNdinavar enRE avarai vittuth thoNdarudan
sErkkum thirumAlaich chErum enRAn Arkkum idham
pArkkum pugazh mARan paNdu
AzhwAr who is having the glories of trying to do good only even for the ignorant ones, mercifully instructed to leave aside all those incidental relatives such as accepted wife et al, who came into existence based on karma previously and reach Sriya:pathi who unites those who surrender unto him with his devotees.

seydharuL enRE irandha sIr mARan thAL iNaiyE
uy thuNai enRuLLamE Or
AzhwAr, having worshipped emperumAn in thiruppuLingudi, prayed to him, who has eternal relationship, saying “you should grant me the tasks relating to all types of relationships, without a break”. Oh heart! Think of both the divine feet of such SrI SatakOpa as the help for us to be uplifted.
Eighty third pAsuram – (OrAnIr…) In this pAsuram, mAmunigaL is following AzhwAr’s pAsurams of being immersed in emperumAn’s Seela guNam (the quality of simplicity) and is mercifully explaining it.

mAttividum nam manaththumai
emperumAn said “I will fulfil whatever you analysed and desired. Am I not nArAyaNa who is omnipotent?” and manifested his all types of relationships [with AzhwAr] and AzhwAr became immersed in such emperumAn’s Seela guNam. Such AzhwAr’s mercy will eliminate the ignorance in our heart.

AzhwAr called out with real desire, considering to see Sriya:pathi who has periya pirAttiyAr having eyes which are decorated with black-pigment, permanently residing on his divine chest, and who has the thiruvAzhi (divine chakra, disc) and thiruchchangu (divine Sankha, conch), which fill his divine hands.

anRavanaik kANa eNNi AN peNNAyp pinnai avan
thannai ninaivippavaRRAl thAn thaLarndha mARan arul
unnum avarkku uLLam urugum
AzhwAr having seen sarvESvaran who is his sustainer and who appeared in this state in his heart, desired to see him physically then, with the external eyes; he lost his masculinity and attained femininity. Further, he became weakened by those entities such as the group of clouds which reminded him about emperumAn. The hearts of those who meditate upon such AzhwAr’s krupai, will melt.

en nAch chollAdhiruppadhu engu
AzhwAr mercifully said “My heart is melting thinking about your activities; further, my desire increased greatly” and with anguish, mercifully spoke about his quality of being a lover, to have it firmly in the divine heart. How will my tongue not recite such AzhwAr’s divine words?

angAdhu paRRAsA AngavanpAl engum uLLa
puLLinaththaith thUdhAgap pOgavidu mARan thAL
uLLinarkkuth thIngai aRukkum
AzhwAr, saying “the reason for my love is sarvESvaran’s natural, matching physical beauty”, in that state, considering that physical beauty as the hold, sent the flocks of birds which are present everywhere, as messengers towards him, there. The evils of those who meditated upon such AzhwAr’s divine feet, will be destroyed.
Eighty eighth pAsuram – (aRukkum…) In this pAsuram, mAmunigaL is following AzhwAr’s pAsurams of being unable to wait until the messengers return and desiring with the thought “we should reach thirunAvAy” and is mercifully explaining it.
aRukkum idar enRu avanpAl Angu vitta thUdhar
maRiththu varap paRRA manaththAl aRap padhaRich
cheyya thirunAvAyil sella ninaindhAn mARan
maiyalinAl seyvaRiyAmal
AzhwAr sent messengers to emperumAn thinking “he will eliminate our sorrows”. With the divine heart which is unable to bear the delay in the return of the messengers, without knowing what to do, urging greatly due to bewilderment, AzhwAr set out to go to the distinguished thirunAvAy.
Eighty ninth pAsuram – (malladimai…) In this pAsuram, mAmunigaL is following AzhwAr’s pAsurams of his intent during an evening time and is mercifully explaining it.

sollum aLavum paRRAth thonnalaththAl selginRa
ARRAmai pEsi alamandha mARan aruL
mARRAgap pOgum enRan mAl
AzhwAr asked sarvESvaran “When is my day for performing complete kainkaryam to you?” and due to the natural bhakthi, being unable to remain patient until he responded, mercifully spoke about his unbearability and became sorrowful. By such AzhwAr’s mercy which is the opposite of my ignorance, my ignorance will be eliminated.
Ninetieth pAsuram – (mAlumadhu…) In this pAsuram, mAmunigaL is following AzhwAr’s pAsurams of instructing others after receiving the final date of his liberation and is mercifully explaining it.
mAl umadhu vAnjai muRRum mannum udambin mudivil
sAla naNNich cheyvan enath thAn ugandhu mElavanaich
chIrAr kaNapuraththE sErum enum sIr mARan
thArAnO nandhamakku thAL
sarvESvaran said to AzhwAr “With complete dedication, I will fulfil all your wishes at the end of this body which is together with AthmA”; AzhwAr who has qualities such as gyAnam etc, being blissful “Go to thirukkaNNapuram and surrender unto the supreme lord there”; for us, will such AzhwAr not bless with his divine feet?
