Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

[even small appearances of avthArams ? one can not
describe the greatness of Lord in as much as
avathArams like Rama and Krishna where He appears for
longer periods of time- AzhwAr mentions in this verse]

thalaikkaNaththukaL kuzhampu saathi sOthi thORRAmaay,
nilaikkaNankaL kaaNavanthu niRRiyElum neediruNG,
kalaikkaNankaL soRporuL karuththinaal ninaikkoNaa,
malaikkaNankaL pOluNarththum maatchi ninRan maatchiyE.
   (16)

the Devas- good class; the trees; and the middle one
(human beings and animals) ? You appeared even among
these different degrees of classes and even in those
appearances, Your greatness can not be described in
full gathering all sassthric collections, all words
with their direct meanings and the elaborate detailed
commentaries of the saasthrAs ? saying ?You are of
this type or that- You are like the huge mountains and
mountains of Greatness whose grandness can be
quanitified or measured. 

In Deva gaNaas, in trees like asvattham (alasamaram),
among human as Rama, Krishna and in animals like Boar,
Mathsya Koormam et al- You appear. Even in such
lowliest form of creations, You appear and still Your
greatness can not be comprehended. If all over the
world, all saasthrAs gather collecting all greatest of
words and sentences, they still can not attempt to
find end in praising Your glories. They can at best
show us the huge mountains of Your kalyANa GunAs; but
never do justice to their narration. Hence none can
perceive Your Greatness in full! 

Even in SrI Rama avathAram- You said hiding your
Lordship, ?athmAnAm mAnusham manyE rAmam
dasarathAthmajam?. Even in such a state, the ignorant
illiterate trees, waters, also lamented without Your
presence in ayOddhi. They were charming and enjoyed
when You were around. Even they could enjoy You- such
was Your solwseelya guNA; that was Your greatness. Can
one describe Your such greatest kalyANa guNAs! [Never]

Deva gaNAs- are supposed to be grand gaNAs- vasu,
rudra, Adhithya, maruth, saadhya, siddha, gandharva,
kinkara, et al. 
thugaL- smallest minutest ones- like flies, plants,
trees etc.. 
kuzhmbu jaathi- manusha (human beings)- perhaps due to
the mixture of puNya paapams- (kuzhambu)
thugaL- papa jaathi; thalai kaNam- Deva jaathi and
hence human beings mixture (kuzhambu jaathi) 

Or only human beings get confused easier and quickly
(hence kuzhambu jaathi) This is mine and I am
independent; OR I am servant and devotee of this demi
God; or That demi god ? confusion; OR self is Anandham
? I will enjoy my self and that is Bliss- Confusion.
Such confusions are not there for trees, animals and
Devaas. [even cows know that this is my food and this
is not correct ? they are clear while humans are not]

Everywhere confusion: dhEhaathma bhramam- Confusion
that body is AthmA; swathanthra bhramam- Self is
ultimate and Enjoying self [kaivalyam] is Bliss is
another confusion; dEvathAnthara bhramam- even when
one realizes that he is a sEshan [servant- daasan] to
the God- confusion as to who that God is: so kuzhambu
jaathi - says AzhwAr. [everytime when we eat kuzhambu-
think of this; and also think of the unparalleled
Peerless Sriman Narayanan and that we are His eternal
daasabhUthars.
