Emperuman doesn't do just one favour but he continues to bless his devotees with all sorts of help all the time when in this world, followed by happiness in svarga loka and finally in the ever flourishing vaikundha. Even after doing so much he is not satisfied says thirumazhisaipiran in this paasuram.
(vEndharAi) The kings in this world under whose kingdom the poor are not suppressed by the overpowered "na Vishnu: prithiveepathi:" (those kings are not different from Vishnu)
(viNNavarAi) Even if the king is capable of ruling the country properly the natural phenomenons like rain and proper seasons should aid for the development of the country. The devas are responsible for the natural occurrence. "sarva ijyAscha Krishna: [All devas are Krishna]
(vinnAgi) The svarga loka where we enjoy the fruits of our good deeds (yaga, yagyas etc)
(taNNaLiyAi) The devas provide the jeeva visiting svarga with ultimate pleasures all according to the wish of the supreme lord;
(mAndharAi) All our friends and relatives around us is none other than emperuman; "suhruth gadhir narayana:" (subhalopanishad)
(mAdhAi) our mother (this implies to father also);
"mAthA pithA narayana:" [subhalo]
mAdhu otherwise means beauty. So whatever beauty we enjoy is lord's divine beauty.
(maRRellAmAi) "brAthA nivAsa: saraNam" Everything left over. All relatives, upaya, prApya everything is him.
(sArindhavarkku) He becomes everything for those who have got hold of his divine feet
(thanARRAn) Inspite of all these emperuman still feels indebted to the devotee for the act of surrendering;
"govindhEthi yathA krAndhath krishnAmAm dooravAsinam I ruNam pravriththamiva….
Inspite of doing so many favours to the pandavas, going to the level of becoming their servant (messenger), charioteer (Parthasarathi) and accomplishing them the victory still Krishna feels that he hasn't done satisfactorily in return to droupathi calling him endangered in the court of the gauravas.
(nEmiyAn) He holds the divine discus in his hand to kill the enemies of his devotees and make the devotees enjoy his divine darshan.
(mAl vaNNan than kodukkum) Being an embodiment of love and affection, inspite of all these emperuman still keeps pouring his grace on all his devotees
(pinnAl thAn seiyyum pidir) First he grants all wealth and happiness in this world then he makes them enjoy in svarga and finally he takes them to the ultimate bliss.
Pidir-in excess; left over
Emperuman enjoys pleasure in the company of the jeevatma and the jeevatma cherishes the joy experienced by the lord
One doubt that may arise is why should emperuman grant pleasures in this world and svarga leaving the ultimate purushartham. Since the lord is common to one and all he grants the joy according to each one's taste. Didn't ramapiran grant jadayu (a bird) who sacrificed his life for the sake of piratti, happiness in all lokas and finally paramapadam?
