vyAkyAnam
mA malar mEl annam thuyilum – the rAjahamsam (regal swan) and its female bird, desiring to engagein love-quarrel, choose a lotus flower and descend on it. The flower is also huge, capable of giving place for the love-quarrel. However, once they alight on the lotus, due to the softness of the bed (provided by the flower), they forget the quarrel and go to sleep. Since the flower provides comforts, which are given to regal members, such as softness, coolness, fragrance etc the swans sleep on the bed just like kings.
aNi nIr vayal Ali – at thiruvAli which has abundance of water bodies.
ennudaiya innamudhai – being the place of her (parakAla nAyaki’s) birth and the place that she entered after marriage, it became hers totally (when a land is cultivated on lease, the owner of the land gets a portion of the produce and the lessee gets the remaining portion; in this case, the entire benefit goes to one person, parakAla nAyaki).

Has this AzhwAr not said in periya thirumozhi 7-10-10 “kaNgaL AraLavum ninRu kaNNamangaiyuL kaNdukoNdEn” (I saw emperumAn at thirukkaNNamangai for such a length of time that my eyes became fully satiated)!
madhiL sUzh – since he is a mangaLASAsanaparar (one who is engaged in praising emperumAn) he is feeling satisfied that even when he is engaging in madal, emperumAn is well protected.
