SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

You do not have to fall into the swirling whirl pools;
Just do some good deeds and enjoy the fruits of puNya;
and then bhakti yoga also will get eventually
fulfilled. ? Lord tells AzhwAr. AzhwAr requests:
Please do not think in that line on adiyEn (me). It is
equivalent to pushing me into naraka (hell). 

kaattinaaNnsey valvinaippa
  yanRaNnaalma Nnanthanai,
naattivaiththu nallavalla
  seyyaveNNi Nnaarena,
kEttathanRi yennathaavi
  pinnaikELva! ninnodum,
poottivaiththa vennain^innuL
  neekkalpoovai vaNNanE!     (99)

Oh Master of Nappinnai PiraaTTI! The blue hued Lord!
Base don cruel, strong karma that I had committed and
based on my past deeds, showing those fruits of such
actions, and enchanting my mind and distracting me
away from Your Lotus feet which is the only Goal- I
have heard that You have thought of me like that in
this birth due to my karma in the past; and please do
not do that and further, please bless me and do not
stanch away from You this AthmA of mine ? that adiyEn
has stuck and glued to Bhagavad vishayam alone.

When this birth of mine took place, the elders and
scholars (astrologers) who have seen my horoscope
mentioned ?The Lord has considered strong past actions
of his and will show strong forces of matter to him as
fruits for the same to this jeevan thereby the mind
will stay put on the fruits of those actions and will
keep this jeevan here for sometime. That is the Lord?s
thiruvuLLam (mind)?. After having heard that, adiyEn
feels extremely sacred and has an apprehension that I
will get trapped into those evil forces and fruits.
Hence I have made great efforts to keep the mind
locked from such matters and fruits and has focused
only on You.. Hence please do not go away from my mind
or do not remove my mind from your lotus feet. 

When the fruits are so attractive, the people do not
look at the deeds and the effect of doing such deeds
and the paapams arising out of the same. The mind gets
so tempted by the fruits being shown in the front
(payanthanil manadhaik kaatti) and the mind goes
behind the fruits. It is also due to the influence of
their own karmas. SO, how to get rid of? Is there no
chance at all? AzhwAr shows the way. There is. Simply
control the mind. Lock the mind running behind from
such fruits and place the mind on His lotus Feet. 

Nallavalla- also may mean- swargam- Heaven. For
{mukukshus, ParamaikAnthins, even heaven is undesired
for. One will be in heaven as long as the puNya stays.
Once the punYa is over, he will fall down from heaven
and will take further births (lowlier possibly). 

kEetadhanRi- keTTu- adhu- anRi- having heard all that
(about the horoscope) and not just the fruits of my
karma alone; in addition, please bless me to have the
mind stuck to You [which I had done} and do not
remove. 

Ninnai ennuL neekal- in 91st verse- AzhwAr says ninnai
ennuL neekal- 
Here AzhwAr says: ennai ninnul neekkal- 

This means: You should always reside in my mind always
(in 91st verse). One can think of Lord always even for
getting wealth, and other fruits. But ennai unnuL
neekal- emans- This AthmA is to be placed at Your
feet. Now I will never ever think of myself
considering any other fruits. I am thinking of only
Your Feet and serving at Your feet (mOkshAnubhavam). 

PeriyAzhwAr also says: [PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi 5.4.5]

unnaikkoNdu_ennuLvaiththEn ennaiyum_unnilittEn
ennappaa! ennirudeekEsaa! ennuyirkkaavalanE!          
 

Oh peerless, unparalleled my matchless Father! Oh Lord
who has the power to command all my five senses to be
totally engaged in service only to You! Oh Master!
AtmaswarUpa rakshakaa! [The One who can protect my
AthmA from becoming a slave to others and ensure that
I am Your sEshan at all times as is natural with it]!
A goldsmith scratches the gold against the testing
stone (uraikkal) to verify its pure quality. Similarly
I have placed Your names and You as well on my tongue
and changed it to transform itself into that of
shining gold from its original nature like the stone
shines like gold itself after so many scratches. My
tongue also has attained divinity by constant
scratching of your name (and You). Thanks to that
sweet experience of chanting Your divya nAmAs (divine
names), my tongue has now become sacred and been
sanctified. I have now housed You [who is not easily
attained even by Yogis] in my heat cavity. I have also
made my lowly self as Your humble servant.

Unnaik kOndu ennuL vaitthEn.. I placed You inside my
heart and enjoyed Your divya darshan. ennaiyum unnil
ittEn- I placed myself at Your feet.
