- Eyndha … – Those who can serve my lord in thiruvananthapuram which has an apt golden fort, offering flowers etc and approaching him.
- andham il pugazhinArE – Not just as said in thiruvAimozhi 10.2.5 “amararAvAr” (they will become like nithyasUris), but will be as said in thiruviruththam 79 “viNNuLArilum sIriyar” (they are greater than nityasUris).
