Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn still remained eager even after helping the five pANdavas in all ways at that time (when they were banished) to finish the hundred brothers starting with dhuryOdhana who had their kingdom/reign on the rise; nammAzhwAr, the leader of the orderly AzhwArthirunagari, sung these complete ten pAsurams among the thousand pAsurams which are complete due to the pAdha bhandham, focussed on such emperumAn’s servitors; if one can practice this decad to grasp it well in their heart, his/her birth (which blocks one’s servitude) will be finished.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- adiyOngu nURRuvar vIya – To finish the dhuryOdhana and brothers, who trapped the pANdavas in the wax palace, won them over in gambling by deceit, driving them out of the kingdom and making them stay in the forest etc., and themselves growing their families in great numbers, and rooted strongly in the kingdom.
- anRu – at that time when the pANdavas where banished by the kauravas.
- aivarkku aruL seydha nediyOnai – Helping the five, is applicable in both cases. Here [in AzhwAr‘s case], he blessed such that he is not suffering the impact of the five senses and there, he helped the five pANdavas who were affected by the impact of five senses.
- aivarkku – When they (dhuryOdhana et al) took over the elephants, horses etc, krishNa himself became everything they lost as said in mahAbhAratham rAjasUya parvam “yasya manthrI cha gOpthA cha” (for whom krishNa is the minister, protector et al).
- nediyOnai – Even after engaging in actions for pANdavas, he claimed that he had not done anything for them as said in mahAbhAratham “nAthisvasthamanA:” (My heart is not satisfied).
- then kurugUr … – Since AzhwAr is performing kainkaryam by speech that goes up to servitude towards bhAgavathas, this is a confidential service to sarvESvaran.
- adi Arndha AyiraththuL – The thousand pAsurams which are complete in the poetic word/line structure as in rig vEdham and SrI rAmAyaNam which is said as in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 2.18 “pAdhabathdhO’ksharasama:” (with four lines, and matching letters in each line).
- avan thoNdar mEl mudivu – Wherever sarvESvaran is mentioned [in this decad], those are secondary in nature [the primary purpose is to highlight the importance of bhAgavathas, who are his devotees].
- Arak kaRkiRkil – If they can learn to have the meanings well established in their heart. Also, explained as, without leaving even a single pAsuram.
- sanmam seyyAmai mudiyum – births which are impediment to serve his devotees, will be eradicated.
