Dear BhakthAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr :
 
We will start now with the first "SeyyuL"    (Verse) of SaThakOpar AndhAti :
 
vedatthin munn selha; meeyuNarntOr virinchan mudhalOr
 
kOtaRRa Jn~Anak-kozhuntin munn selha, guNam kadanta
 
bhOdhakkadal yengaL Tenn kuruhUrp-punitan kaviyOr
 
paadhatthin munn sellumE! Thollai Moolap-paramchudarE
 
( General Meaning):Sriman NaarAyaNan is timeless . He is the ancient Jagath KaaraNan . He stands transcending every thing in His creation . He is the embodiment of all tEjas ( lustre). The Vedic recitation starts after stating His name Hari ( Hari: Om) . He is the indwelling life behind all that is alive. Understanding his svaroopam ( inherent nature) is indeed true Jn~Anam . BrahmA and others carry out His assignments and commands and perform their duties . All the Vaidhika Matams dealing with different dhaivams accept 
Sriman Narayanan as the Supreme God of gods. All the upanishads deal with and follow the doctrine of NaarAyaNa Parathvam( supermacy).   
 
Those scholars who have reflected and understood clearly the meaning of the first line of the first paasuram of the first decad of ThiruvAimozhi ( uyaRvaRa uyar nalamudayavan yavanavan) recognize
that first line houses Jn~Anam about Bhagavath Svaroopam .Thru that the meaning of this seyyuL ( First verse of SaThakOpar andhAti) will become evident . Just as BhagavAn is the supreme foundation  for all Created beings and is beyond them , Swamy NammAzhwAr is the ocean of bhagavath guNAnubhavam.
 
If we state that Sriman narayaNan is the root cause ( Moolam) for the universe, it follows that He is the budding shoot of the first line of first
Paasuram of ThiruvAimozhi. As a result , the Lord does not step before that first line of His the blemish free AzhwAr born in ThirukkuruhUr and stays free from the three guNams ( thriguNAdheethar).
He is not free ; He is bound by THAT VERY FIRST LINE  as Madhurakavi AzhwAr pointed out (KaNNinuNN siRut-tAmpinAl kattuNNap-paNNiya perumAyan ).             
 
Word by word Meaning  For the first verse 
 
thollai= very ancient
 
moolam=the fundamantal reason for all
 
Param=that which stands transcending all
 
sudar=Self-effulgent Sriman NarayaNan
 
Vedatthin munn selha= May it have the power to precede Vedic recitation !
 
meyyuNarnthOr=those who are blessed with true tattva Jn~Anam
 
Vrinchan= such as Brahma Devan
 
kOthaRRa=blemishless
 
Jn~Anak-kozhuntin munn selha= may He have the power to go before that ever growing flame of Jn~Anam !
 
GuNam kadantha bhOdhak-kadal= the One who transcends the three guNams ( Suddha sattva mayan ) and stays as the ocean of true
Jn~Anam
 
YengaL TenkuruhUr Punithan= our revered and sweet AzhwAr , who incarnated in KuruhUr
 
Kavi oru paadhatthin munn sellumE = The first line of the first paasuram of ThiruvAimozhi will hold the Supreme one in itself . He would be bound by it as
Madhura Kavi AzhwAr pointed out . 
 
NamO SrI RanganAthAya ,
