Simple translation
Eliminating this impermanent human birth, having me as a servitor, showering his great mercy, having leadership, to give enjoyment to me, emperumAn is firmly residing on thirumalA where clouds filled with lightning have gathered and are residing. Having a beautiful form like an elephant, being a great benefactor for me, he is eternally residing in my heart.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
mannA … – Relieving me from this impermanent human birth.
thannAkki – Making me at par with him; alternatively – making me exist for him. muNdaka upanishath 3.2.3 “niranjana: paramam sAmyamupaithi” (after attaining him, they (jIvAthmAs) get his qualities in the same measure).
than in aruL … – One who has the leadership to do everything and still feel that he has not done much and hence will shower his mercy as if he is doing it for his sake.
min Ar … – The combination of cloud and lightning resembles the combination of pirAtti [bright in complexion] and him [dark in complexion].
en Anai – One who is always watchable.
en appan – One who is great benefactor for me.
When asked “What favour was done to you?” AzhwAr says,
en nenjil uLAnE – After having entered my heart, he is not leaving from there.
