Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn, the lord who is greater than all, showed his completeness of wealth and ability to eradicate the disease which is causing suffering which is beyond speech; nammAzhwAr, the leader of AzhwArthirunagari which has firmly present mansions which resemble densely present mountains, composed this decad among the distinguished thousand pAsurams, which have string of words in the manner of dense speech, on such emperumAn; those who can recite this decad in proper sequence, will not take birth in this vast samsAra.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- uraiyA vennOy – Very cruel disease which is beyond words. Not only it caused suffering for us, it also made us wonder “what will happen to bhagavAn who is the lord of ubhaya vibhUthi (spiritual and material realms)?”
- thavira aruL nIL mudiyAnai – emperumAn, who is ubhaya vibhUthi nAthan, who showered his grace to eradicate such disease. ammangi ammAL says “emperumAn nodded his head in agreement saying ‘we will fulfil your desire’, to eradicate AzhwAr‘s fear”. Only after eradicating AzhwAr’s fear, emperumAn’s crown which highlights his protection for both realms, became firmly seated on his head.
- varai Ar … – Once his fear was removed, AzhwArthirunagari too became abundantly rich and stable.
- urai Ey … – The distinguished thousand pAsurams which are having string of words of [AzhwAr‘s] speech.
- ippaththum niraiyE vallAr – Those who can recite this decad in proper sequence; due to the bewilderment he acquired, AzhwAr is thinking, those who recite this decad will also be unable to recite it in proper sequence.
- nIdulagaththup piRavArE – They will not be born in this realm where if one looks around the vast earth, one will not find anyone to care for emperumAn; they will get to reach paramapadham where the whole realm performs mangaLASAsanam for emperumAn and enjoys him eternally.
In the next article we will enjoy the next decad.
