  • kavaiyil manm inRi – Even in that, am I engaged in this and worldly matters simultaneously? Without having double-minded heart.
  • kaNNIrgaL kaluzhvan – I will shed a flood of tears.
  • navai il thirunAraNan – nArAyaNa who is SrImAn and who has no defects such as being difficult to attain etc. One who has arrived and is easily approachable in thirunAvAy along with pirAtti who is the cause for his easy approachability. While emperumAn is present in the great assembly in thirunAvAy, I don’t know, when I, who desired in thiruvAimozhi – 2.3.10adiyArgaL kuzhAngaLai udan kUduvadhu enRu kolO” (When will I be amidst the nithyasUris?), will reach in that divine assembly?
