In this pAsuram, embAr is quite engrossed in emperumAnAr’s divine form and reveals that to be enjoyed by all of us. Further, he boldly declares that since he is always engaged in the physical beauty of emperumAnAr, there is none present matching him. He has arranged this pAsuram similar to how thiruppANAzhwAr enjoyed periya perumAL’s divine physical form from the divine feet up to the divine head, in his wonderful prabandham named amalanAdhipirAn.
paRpamenath thigazh paingazhal unRan pallavavamE viralum – emperumAnAr’s divine feet and the toes appear to be similar to lotus flowers and their petals.
pAvanamAgiya paindhuvarAdai padhindha marungazhagum – The kAshAya (saffron) robe which is present together with emperumAnAr’s divine thighs appear to be very beautiful.
muppurinUlodu munkaiyil Endhiya mukkOl thannazhagum – The yagyOpavItham which has 3 strings and is adorned on emperumAnAr’s divine shoulder, and the thridhaNdam (the three staves, with a white flag on top, held by sanyAsis) are beautiful.
munnavar thandhidum mozhigaL niRaindhidum muRuval nilAvazhagum – emperumAnAr’s divine lips, which have a gentle smile, are filled with the divine words spoken by AzhwArs and past AchAryas. These look beautiful too.
kaRpagamE vizhi karuNai pozhindhidu kamalak kaNNazhagum – emperumAnAr’s divine eyes, which are showering mercy like a kalpaka vrukhsa (celestial desire-fulfilling tree), are beautiful too.
kAri sudhan kazhal sUdiya mudiyum kanaRchigaimudiyum – emperumAnAr has decorated his divine head with the divine feet of nammAzhwAr who is the divine son of kAri, the village chief. The tuft on that divine head looks beautiful.
eppozhudhum edhirAsan vadivazhagu ennidhayaththuLadhAl – Since I am always thinking in my mind about such emperumAnAr’s physical beauty, where he is the king of sanyAsis.
illai enakkedhir illai enakkedhir illai enakkedhirE – I am declaring there is none matching me, by saying it out three times.
That is, embAr is saying – since I am engrossed in bhagavath rAmAnuja’s thirumEni, I will always have sathva guNam, and due to that I will always be engaged in emperumAn and emperumAnAr’s aspects. He is declaring that with sAthvika ahankAram (gentle pride). The purpose of this pAsuram is to inform that we should also be engrossed in emperumAnAr’s physical beauty.
