Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn is my matching lord just as he remains the lord of nithyasUris, dug out and lifted the great earth, having greatness of mercifully accepting my service to at once destroy the ancient, strong sins of mine; he is having a beautiful standing posture in the western direction on the banks of thiruchchiRRARu in thiruchchengunRUr which is considered as a decoration for the southern direction, using which he enslaved me; other than such emperumAn’s divine feet, even while thinking, I have no other refuge.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- en amar perumAn imaiyavar perumAn – He is being the lord of nithysUris and my matching lord. One who eliminated my fear and conducted my servitude by manifesting how nithyasUris are caring for him.
- iru nilam … – One who manifested his ability in protecting the great earth which was consumed by deluge, and enslaved me. AzhwAr is saying that emperumAn manifested his act of rescuing the earth to highlight that everyone is under his protection, and eradicated AzhwAr’s fear.
- munnai … – The lord who eradicated the ancient, strong sins with their impressions and enslaved me. AzhwAr is saying that emperumAn manifested his beauty, valour etc and enslaved him by eradicating all the fears he previously had. Here valvinai indicates “great loving devotion” since that was the factor which caused AzhwAr to fear thinking “what will happen to emperumAn who is omnipotent?”.
- then thisai … – The abode which is the decoration for the southern direction which was despised by Aryas (great personalities) [due to this region being infested with atheism even back in olden days].
- mIpAl ninRa emperumAn – His presence in the western direction is a cause for greatness as per AzhwAr and the reason for the eradication of fear for him. His supremacy is depending on the direction [being the lord of paramapadham, the higher world, highlights his supremacy].
- adi … – Even in my thoughts, there is nothing other than his divine feet, which will be considered as refuge.
