What a lovely song! Beautiful Tamil. Oh KaNNA! The One who has the chakrA
in His hand! -Like that for just telling something I was calling You with
no bhakt or involvement in what I say. But You have believed my sugar
coated words and fallen into the trap. You have enabled me to obtain the
Great blessings from You similar to what Your truthful devotees also get.
What a Bhagawath krupai! When You have decided to shower Your grace, who
can stop that? "En bhAgyamE bhAgyam."

2. When You were a child KaNNan, You went in between the two big marudha
trees; YasoDhA got scared that it may harm You and spoke some soothing
words with full of love and affection; I spoke the same words without a
semblance of bhakti and love for You and pretended to speak with complete
involvement; Oh MaNickkamE! Honey! My Dearest Lord, Sweetest AmudhamE! You
are so gullible and believed my words and entered into my heart
unconditionally; Hence, the sky, the earth, pancha bhUtAs and everyone and
everything has come to my side.

3. When my mid was loitering and wandering after the materialistic and
sensual desires, my mouth uttered some words like MaNickkamE! AmudhE!
Etc., and pretended them to be full of truthful utterances; Don.t You know
that when You are staying in me as antharyaami? As if You can not know
that, I cheated You, My Lord! Even then, in spite of that, You stole me
heart and captured my mischievous mind; Now all my pretensions have gone
and been removed by You and I am saved; Oh EmpiraanE! The One who sleeps
on ThiruppARkadal! Hereafter, I will not desire for anything but YOU. You
are the only hold for me;

4. KaNNA! There is no one for me except You; _Even though I utter this
statement, I am not able to control my mind running after the worldly
matters. Though my mind still thinks of You with my eyes welled in tears
longing to see You, I am not able to get over the bodily attachment.
Hence, You have to remove my connection / relation to this body. Please
call me and show mercy; (azhwAr in the earlier pAsurams says that he has
been just cheating the Lord with outwardly pretensions and finds that it
is due to the bodily attachment and vibharIta jnAnam; Due to connection
with prakriti, the mind runs after "other" matters; Hence, he appeals to
the Lord to remove the enemies (body), and take him to His Lotus Feet-
Bhattar interprets this way)

5. EmperumaanE! You came as KaNNan, in the Most Beautiful Form, the
beauty that was enjoyed thoroughly by NityasUris; Black Emerald Beauty!
You are the sweetest nectar that can give blissful happiness for ever and
ever at all times; Due to the jnAnam that You granted to me, I have got
You in my mind. Even then, due to my sarIra sambhandham, I have not got
You. Because, You have kept me in the middle and tied me tightly and
firmly with the body, and the tight ropes of anjnAnam, karmic diseases,
etc., and applied the skin on the top to covet them as the paint. You have
hidden Yourself and pushed me totally into the sensual pleasures. You, The
One who has pushed the ever permanent athmA in this temporary body, are
alone capable of bringing it out. I CAN NOT do any thing. (nampiLLai says
it is like sitApiraatti.s stay at asOka vanam- azhwAr.s statement of
swarUpa jnAnam and still staying inside the body)
3238:

aRamuyal aazhiyangaik* karumEni ammaan dhannaiyE. 5.1.6
6. (In the last pAsuram, azhwAr blamed the Lord for pushing him into the
"siRRinbham" the sensual pleasures. Immediatley Emperumaan shows Himself
the Divine Beauty fo His ThirumEni to AzhwAr. AzhwAr forgets all the body
attachments and sings "kaNdu koNdEn" I have seen Him). The Beauty and the
complexion combined in such an exquisite combination, so gorgeously-
Having seen Him with those broad big four shoulders, I have got rid of all
my sorrows. That Emperumman has stupefied me with His Most beautiful Coral
lips and mouth, Red Lotus eyes, that long hand that has ChakrA (to
establish the dharmA), His Most loveliest ThirumEni (divine Body). He has
robbed my heart with such a beauty. Since I have seen my Swami, my disease
of taking any more births is totally removed. The most cruel puNya,
paapams are the ones that tie us down to various births and bodies of the
AthmA and these ties can never be loosened or untied. Since I have seen
Him, all such ties are all removed and are no more applicable to me. There
will be no more body for me because I have prostrated and paid obeisance
to Emperumman.s most beautiful body.(nampiLLai says "earlier this body hid
that Body from "me" and now that Body has hidden this body from me- WoW!)

7. (AzhwAr is totally excited and very happy about Emperumaan.s
kataaksham. He mentions that He is so merciful and dayAkaran that persons
of any amount of "ayOghya thanam"- wrong doings can also get His grace and
mercy. He says" please do not loose that.") . He, the Chief of NityasUris,
is somewhere far away beyond beyond this earth. He is so great and can
never be accessed or approached! I am a nitya samsaari who is living in
this material world and am such a lowly self. Bhagawaan has blessed me,
(who is so low) and showered His mercy on me. I just mentioned (with
absolutely no bhakti and true involvement) and called Him "Oh Lord who
saved GajEndrA" and acted outwardly as if I am longing to see Him. he has
believed me and fell on me to immediately save me from this samsaaric
ocean. When I can be saved any person of any amount of sins can also be
saved by Him. He is sure to protect us with no fail.

8. My Swami, Emperumaan is the Chief of NityasUris and is worshipped by
all dEvAs, all SrIvaishNavAs in this world and NityasUris. Such Thirumaal,
now has entered and firmly stood in my mind. Hence, He alone is everything
for me. The beautiful eyed damsels, enormous wealth, kith and kin,
children, the respected great mother and father are all My Emperumman only
hereafter.

9. When there is a ship about to sink and capsize, Who is our saviour?
The sailors worry and shiver with fear. Like that I wasshivering with
terrific fear and was drowning in Samsaaric Ocean. It was Emperumaan who
saved me from this Ocean of births and deaths. The Personification of
exquisite Divine Beauty- Emperumaan, came with ParipoorNa krupai to me and
said " I will save AzhwAr definitely" and saved me and joined me (who is
His property) completely. (ThiruvaLLuvar says in ThirukkuraL "PiRavi
perungadal neendhuvar neendhaar iRaivan adi sErAdhAr- means -Will cross
the ocean of births; and will not cross those who do not surrender to the
Feet of God. )

kaanaar Enaamumaayk* kaRkiyaam innam kaarvaNNanE. 5.1.10
10. Emperumaan will enslave me make me His servant- Like that I was just
telling outwardly. He believed that and with no ambiguities, completely
mixed with me. He has taken me as His most sweetest things. Such a blue
hued Lord, has (due to His Great dayA on the world and its people) has
taken avathaars as fish, tortoise, Narsimhan, Vaamanan, Varaaham et al. He
will still appear as Kalki to save the people. Such a Lord of mine has
become everything to me.
