anRAyar … – munbu – during ancient times; remaining lovingly together with nappinnaip pirAtti and periya pirAttiyAr who is having lotus flower as her abode.
avuNarkku … – The abode of the eternal presence for the emperumAn, who never shows mercy towards demoniac people, even while he is present with his divine consorts, is – thirunaRaiyUr which is surrounded by vast gardens which have abundance of water; thiruvAli which has similar greatness, thirukkudandhai and thirukkOvalUr which is shining due to the ponds; in these abodes,
ninRAn … – He stood in thirunaRaiyUr, seated in thiruvAli, reclined in thirukkudandhai and walked in thirukkOvalUr.
idam mAmalaiyAvadhu – Though there are other hills, they are not abodes of emperumAn. thirunIrmalai is the abode where he manifested himself with the love he has towards all the dhivyadhESams.
