"tarpennai tAnariyA nElum tadankadalai
kaRkoNdu toorththa kadal vannan-ErkoNda
vevvinaiyum neenga vilangA manam vaiththAn
evvinaiyum mAyumAl kaNdu"
Leave alone all the vAchya (words)/vAchakAs (meanings) being his sankalpa
(wish) How can I sing the praise of others when he has showered his ultimate
grace on me, an embodiment of mistakes.
(tarpennai tAnariyAnElum) Even if he does not realize my self fully; I am a
total embodiment of mistakes "kulangalAya EriraNdil ondrilum
pirandhilEn,nalangalAya naRkalaigal nAlilum navindrilEn, pulankaLaindhum
ondrilEN poRiyilEn" [thiruchan-90]
(tAnariyAnElum) He who is the house of knowledge "ya: sarvagya: sarvavith" even
he doesn't understand me;
(ennai tAnariyAnElum) Instead of saying emperuman doesn't understand my faults
azhvar says he doesn't understand my self because azhvar considers himself to
be an embodiment of mistakes/faults. Instead of faults being one of azhvars
quality it has become azhvar himself. But how is emperuman considered to be
ignorant of the same? Since emperuman ignores the demerits of the bhakthas and
considers everything to be a good quality. Like a cow that cherishes even the
dirt in the body of its new calf, emperuman is filled with ultimate vatsalyam
on all his bhakthas (jnana sAram-arulalaperumal emperumAnAr)
(tadankadalai kaRkoNdu toorththa kadalvaNNan) To save seetha piratti from the
clutches of ravana emperuman, chakravarththi thirumagan constructed the bridge
over the sea. The sea is capable of swallowing even huge mountains whereas it
was possible for the lord to construct a bridge of stones over it. It is all
due to his agadithagatanAsAmarththyam (talent to do that which is not
possible). He did wonders not only for the sake of piratti but also for the
sake of weak souls like me.
(eRkoNda vevvinaiyum neengak kaNdu) All those sins that made my self to be
ignored as not present "asanyEva" were just washed by his divine grace.
(vilangA manam kaNdu vaiththAn) He wished to place his mind on me and thereby
never got away from me "kallum kanaikadalum vaikundha vAnAdum
pullendrozhindhanakol" (all others abodes of emperuman have become vacant since
he has now settled inside me) "panikkadalil paLLi kOlai pazhagavittu Odivandhu"
(aRiyAnElum -manam vaiththAn) He didn't see my faults but placed his mind on
me. He multiplied my trivial good qualities and ignored my entire mountain
like faults.
(evvinaiyum mAyumAl) When he has wished to grace me, will my sins live? It has
all been washed fully.
