dhEvathAs along with their lord indhra, saying “To not have the sorrows approach and reach us, let us think in our mind and surrender unto him. Arise!” come and surrender unto my lord who is mercifully residing in SrI naimiSAraNyam. Placing such lord in my heart, I (AzhwAr) who am having great love, mercifully composed this garland of words. Those who can learn this decad with its meanings, will rule this world which is surrounded by the ocean, with a sceptre, remaining under the shade of the whitish umbrella [symbol of royalty] and will become united with nithyasUris as well.

Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

  • Edham … – Placing the lord who came and resided in SrI naimiSAraNyam to be surrendered by dhEvathAs along with their lord indhra “Thinking about sorrows not reaching us, let us worship and be uplifted! Arise!” Alternatively – the abode where nithyasUris come along with their leader SrI sEnApathi AzhwAr (vishvaksEnar) and surrender unto him.
  • kAdhalE miguththa … – Those who can learn the garland of words along with their meanings, which were mercifully composed by AzhwAr whose love keeps increasing in bhagavath vishayam. AzhwAr gave the shade of his love to emperumAn who is residing in his heart.
  • Odha nIr vaiyagam ANdu … – The ultimate goal is to become part of the assembly of nithyasUris. If anyone desires, they can rule over worldly wealth and then attain the abode of nithyasUris.
