Simple translation

emperumAn is mercifully present as honey which is sweet, with immeasurable bliss which is beautiful in the well matured hearts of servitors due to meditating upon him thinking “Oh one who has the complexion of kaLAppazham! Oh krishNa! Oh one who is having rejuvenating form similar to monsoon cloud, which is shining to me!”; I enjoyed such emperumAn with my eyes in the dhivyadhESam named sembonsey kOyil which is present in the good central location in thirunAngUr which belongs to brAhmaNas who are experts in four vEdhams and are certain about the truth of such emperumAn, and became enlivened.

Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

kaLangani … – emperumAn who is like well aged honey in the heart of servitors who are having their heart matured thinking “Oh one who is having complexion of kaLAppazham which is cool to the eyes unlike being reddish or whitish! Oh krishNa! Oh one who let me fully enjoy your rejuvenating form!”.

theLindha … – Unlike being in a confused state of thinking once “sarvESvaran is the protector” and thinking at other times “another dhEvathA is protector”, brAhmaNas who are always remaining certain that sarvESvaran is our protector. emperumAn who is remaining beautiful, boundless bliss.
