- paRRu enRu paRRip parama param paranai – Surrendering unto sarvESvaran considering him to be the goal and means.
- mal thiN thOL mAlai – AthmA just needs to surrender unto him and have faith; there is no shortcoming in emperumAn for protection. AzhwAr is saying that emperumAn has the strength and love to eliminate the hurdles of such surrendered persons.
- vazhudhi … – As said in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 4.8 “pAtyE gEyE cha madhuram pramANais thribhiranvitham” (both words and music are sweet, in harmony with all three pramANams), those who learnt this decad among the thousand pAsurams which are strung in the form of a garland with beautiful words.
- kaNNan kazhal iNai – Or paRRu Agum – As said in “dhAmOdharan thALgaL – thava neRikku – oru sArvE” (the divine feet of dhAmOdhara, are the result for bhakthi yOgam), divine feet of krishNa themselves will be the result, so that one need not seek anything else to hold on to.
