Simple Translation
emperumAn removed the thought in my mind by which I could attain whatever I desired, with any person [even if they are not followers of emperumAn]. I called out to that emperumAn by crying out “Oh my lord, who controls me! Oh SrI ranganAthA!” and became infatuated.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
eththiRaththilum – even if I am told “By mingling with those who are not followers of emperumAn, you would attain all the benefits that you desire”, I will not have any desire in talking to such people.
yArodum kUdum – even if I do not get the desired benefit, if I am told that I will attain all the eminence by mingling with avaishNavas (those who are not followers of emperumAn), I will consider that mingling to be inferior to even the dust on my feet.
achchiththam thannai thavirththanan sengaNmAl – by looking at me with his reddish, lotus-like eyes, with a comforting glance and displaying his affection towards me, emperumAn made my mind to be incongruent with such avaishNavas.
aththanE – Oh one who is my swAmy (lord)!
arangA enRu azhaikkinREn – I am calling out to him by saying “Oh one who is residing in SrI rangam in order to make it clear that you are the owner and that I am your possession!”
piththanAy ozhindhEn empirAnukkE – I became infatuated with the great benefactor who removed my involvement with worldly pursuits and who removed my connection with those who are involved in worldly pursuits.
We will take up next, the 8th pAsuram of this decad.
