Simple translation
On sarvESvaran, who is having thirukkaNNapuram which is having wealth to be seen and enjoyed by our eyes, as his exclusive, eternal abode, thirumangai AzhwAr who is having bhagavath kainkaryaSri, which is glorious to be held in everyone’s heart, mercifully composed this decad which is in the form of a garland, along with tune; for those servitors who consider this decad as a treasure and sing it, reaching paramapadham and ruling it will occur. For those who recite these pAsurams, we understood that such goal will be attained.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
kaNda sIr … – The opulence which is present there, is not just heard in pramANams (literature) but there is unlimited wealth which can be seen and enjoyed in thirukkaNNapuram which is the eternal abode of sarvESvaran.
koNda sIrth thoNdan – AzhwAr is having such goodness that if his SrIvaishNavaSrI is spoken about, instead of some people rejecting it, everyone will have in their heart “AzhwAr is quite capable of having such SrIvaishNavaSrI”. There is no doubt in this. The garland which was mercifully composed with tune.
paNdamAy … – For those servitors, who consider this decad to be treasure and sing, paramapadham will be under their regime forever as said in thiruvAimozhi 10.9.10 “AnmingaL vAnagam” (rule over SrI vaikuNtam).
adhu aRindhOmE – We clearly understood that sarvESvaran has been partial towards me (to bless me with clear knowledge and devotion); for me, who has seen that, it is clear that even those who recite these pAsurams will get the same result. aNdam – sky; paramAkASam.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
