emperumAn, my lord, is having beautiful, coral-like, reddish, divine lips which consumed the expansive, praiseworthy universe during the danger of deluge and spat it out, and is having reddish, lotus-like, divine eye; what is the insult if he blesses me who is moving around in this world, to be aligned and act in the path to have his actively rising qualities to be the target of my speech, his form which captivates all my senses to be in my heart and to hold flowers matching his greatness in my hands?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ingE thirindhERku – You said in previous pAsuram “siRu mA manisar” and “ingE“; but isn’t this world said as in thiruvAimozhi 10.6.1 “iruL tharu mA gyAlam” (the world which gives darkness/ignorance)? Isn’t it in paramapadham where one gets to engage in bhagavath anubhavam (enjoying bhagavAn) which leads to bhAgavatha kainkaryam (service to bhAgavathas)? AzhwAr is saying “What is wrong to live here, if we get the same bhagavath anubhavam by his mercy here itself?” Implies AzhwAr saying – even for our experience in paramapadham, his mercy is the reason; if that is received here itself, what is wrong?
- izhukkuRRu en – What is the inferiority?
- iru mA nilam mun uNdu umizhndha – During deluge, placing the greatly expansive universe in his stomach and protecting it, and releasing it during creation.
- sem kOlaththa pavaLa vAy – One who is having beautiful divine lips which will make one not to let go of him even if he pushes one in to the deluge. Reddish, beautiful coral-like divine lips.
- sem thAmaraik kaN en ammAn – One who made me say “jitham” (you have won) by his glance. One who enslaved me by the qualities and beauty mentioned here.
- pongEzh … – pongi – spreading out; kEzh – beauty. To have his actively rising auspicious qualities in my mouth. The qualities which have the agitation of a flood, which can agitate those who entered [to enjoy them].
- pulan koL vadivu en manaththadhAy – To have his form which captivates all the senses, in my mind.
- angEy malargaL kaiyavAy – To have flowers matching his form, in my hands.
- vazhipattOda aruLil – If we are blessed to follow the path properly; if we get his mercy so that we get to serve his divine feet with my mind, speech and body.
- ingE thirindhERku izhukkuRRu en – AzhwAr is saying that if he gets bhagavath kainkaryam which is pleasing to bhAgavathas, in this world itself, by his mercy, that will be considered as his purushArtham (attainable goal).
