Simple translation
SrI sathyabAmAp pirAtti is wearing silk cloth and is having beautiful, wide thigh region like a snake’s hood, coral like reddish lips, bamboo like long shoulders, wide eyes like a doe’s eye, nectar like sweet words and mass of hair where honey is flowing; oh ones who desire to reach the divine feet of krishNa who uprooted and brought the heavenly pArijAtha tree from the garden of dhEvathAs! As the squirrels jump from branch to branch, the unripened, reddish fruits of the dark areca trees would fall; due to that the bulgy, ripened fruits which are dense on the branches which are lowered due to the weight of the unripened fruits, let the honey flow from them; you surrender unto SrIrAma viNNagaram in the town of kAzh which has such environment.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
pattu … – Same as simple explanation. With this, it is explained that emperumAn will protect his devotees, even performing difficult tasks.
aNil … – As the squirrels jump around independently, the reddish, unripened fruits of dark areca trees having long leaves, fall as if its a fault on those who touched them. On the tall jackfruit trees, fruits, which are densely present on the lowered branches, having ripened well, will fault those who touched them, let the honey flow from them as if they found a place to stagnate.
