AzhwAr says that even as emperumAn is divining from thiruvEnkatam, he is displaying all his wealth. It could also be construed as emperumAn is displaying all his beauty or all his simplicity.

vyAkyAnam
kaiya valampuriyum nEmiyum – SrI panchajanyam (divine conch) and sudharSanam (divine disc) are in your hands. Is there anything higher than these two for aiSwaryam (wealth)!
kAr vaNNaththu aiya – you are like the rain bearing cloud which removes one’s tiredness by merely looking at it. As a result, you are the natural relative to everyone, rendering help without expecting anything in return. Aren’t you such a relative that all your wealth also becomes my wealth!
malar magaL nin AgaththAL – periya pirAtti (SrI mahAlakshmi) is residing on your divine chest. nammAzhwAr in his thiruvAimozhi 6-10-10 has said the same thing “alarmEl mangai uRaimArbA” (you have the chest on which alarmEl mangai, SrI mahAlakshmi, resides). Is there anything above being the consort of mahAlakshmi, to become the boundary of wealth!
seyya maRaiyAn nin undhiyAn – AzhwAr says that emperumAn has everyone with him, without making any distinction between SrI mahAlakshmi and others. vEdhas are the pramANams (authentic texts) which identify you precisely. brahmA who has the ability to provide these vEdhas, lives on your divine navel and attains his abilities.
mAmadhil mUnRu eydha iRaiyAn nin Agaththu iRai – Sivan is popularly known as ISvaran (Lord) in the world. Such a Sivan, who burnt down the three towns which had huge protective walls, resides in a corner of your divine form and attains his abilities as a result. Just as a few people get a name by talking ill of others, Sivan too got a name by burning the three towns. Another interpretation – Sivan, who burnt the three towns, resides in a corner of your divine form and hence has acquired the pride as ISvaran and is proudly roaming consequently.
We shall move on to the 29th pAsuram next.
