Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
109. kaNNArak kaNdu kazhivathOr kAthaluRRArkkum uNdO kaNgaL
thunjsuthal enkiRapadiyE kANbathaRku munbu uRakkamillai;
kaNdAl *SathA pacyanthi* AgaiyAlE uRakkamillai.

Meaning:
Before seeing Him, as told by Azhvar, there is no sleep; after
seeing Him, as told by the Upanishads, there is no sleep.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Previously the entreaty to perform service was explained. Here
the nature of those who make that prayer forever, is explained.

As in "imaiyOrkaL kuzhAm thozhuvathum sUzhvathum sey 
thollaimAlaik kaNNArak kaNdu kazhivathOr kAthaluRRArkkum uNdO
kaNgaL thunjsuthalE", for those who seek His service, there is
no sleep prior to seeing Him. After seeing Him, as said in the
Upanishads, "tat vishNO: paramam padam sadA pashyanti sUraya:",
the seeing experience is eternal and therefore there is no 
sleep.

That is, for those who have developed the taste to reach Him,
there is no sleep ever.
