Dear BhakthAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr :
 
Fourth CheyyuL : Introduction
************************************
In this verse , Kambar points out that
ThiruvAimozhi stands as the end point of all dharmams. It stays as the Vedam ,
Veda Saakhai ( branch) , VedAntam and  righteous conduct for  each individual's doctrines and his/her VarNAsrama duties . For VaisyAs , it is dhanam ( wealth) ; for BrahmaNAs, it is tapas; for KshatriAs, it is dharmam and for those of the 4th varNam  , it is the righteous conduct leading to their Asrama dharmam.      
 
Text of the Third SeyyuL
*********************************
dhanamAm silarkku tavamAm silarkku-
dharuma niRai
 
ghanamAm silarkkataR-kAraNamAm silark-kAraNatthin
 
inamAm silarkataRkellayumAm thollai yEr-vaguLa
 
VanamAlai EmperumAn KuruhUr Mannan
VaaimozhiyE
 
 
General Meaning and  comments :
******************************************* 
The king of Jn~Anam from KuruhUr adorning the VaguLa garland is comparable to  Sriman NaarAyaNan wearing the ancient garland of never-fading wild flowers ( Vana Maalai). The 
sacred utterances of the King of KuruhUr, The ThiruvAimozhi , is wealth for some ( VaisyAs); for some , it is tapas 
( Brahmins) and its adhyayanam is the basis for all vratAnushtAnams for them . For some others , it is an assembly of dharmams to be followed. For all of those SaadhakAs , it is the underlying Vedam , Veda Saakhai and the Upanishads ( Veda Siras) associated with those Vedams . 
 
" athaRkku ellayumAm thollai VanamAlai EmperumAn " can be intrepreted to mean that the Lord adorning the Vana Maalai is the boundary ( yellai nilam) for all dharmams . Just like his Vana Maalai adorning Lord , the VaguLa Maalai adorning Swamy NammAzhwAr thru his ThiruvAimozhi stays as the end point of all dharmams.
 
Vana Maalai is the garland made from the flowers that blossom in all the six rutus of the year and it hangs all the way down to the Lord's knees:
 
AajAnulambini mAlA sarvarutushu sarmOjjvalA
 
madhyE sthUlakadhambhADyA VanamAlEti keertitA  
 
Certain flowers bloom only in a specific rutu on earth ;  they do bloom however in all the six rutus at Sri VaikunTham since kAlam does not hold its sway there . Vana Maalai is made from such multihued , never fading flowers( samOjjvalA)  blooming in all rutus at Sri VaikunTham .
