- kaNda pidhaRRAmun – Before blabbering about the hurdles.
- alangalAya – Carrying the thiruththuzhAy garland which is having the greatness to be offered to emperumAn.
- Ayira nAmam solli – Instead of blabbering gibberish, reciting the thousand divine names which are apt for the senses, as said in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 95 “nAvAyiluNdE …”.
- valam koL – SrIvaishNavas who perform favourable actions (kainkaryams), carrying garlands which qualify to be adorned by him, reciting his divine names, and would sing and dance; let us enter that assembly and become one amongst them.
