SrI:
SrImathE rAmAnujAya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnvas,
Let us continue our enjoyment of ThiruppallANdu.

10: ennaaL emperumaan, undanakku adiyOm enRezhuththuppatta vanaaLE,
adiyOngaL adikkudil, veedupeRRu uyndhathukaaN,
sennaaL-thORRith, thiru-maduraiyuL silai-kunindu,
aindhalaiya pain-naagath-thalai-paayn-dhavanE!, unnaip-paLLaaNdu kooRuthumE.

Our Lord! Always eternally we are Your servants enslaved by You. – the day 
we mentioned that we have  become Your servants with intense desire and 
zeal, the same great beautiful day, our – Your eternal  servants’- kutil 
(hut) has attained salvation. Meaning : we have attained mOksham (for sure.) 
Oh Lord! The One who jumped dancing on the heads of KaaLingan (hundred 
headed - king of snakes*) making its five elements (Pancha karmEndriyas, or 
Pancha jnAnEndhriyas, OR manas, buddhi, ahankaram, Chittham and AthmA – five 
) shaken up (aindhu alaiya); who bent the bow of Kamsa! We sing pallANdu to 
You.

the day (ennAL) we uttered that we are (realized that) servants of Yours- is 
not an ordinary Day; It is a GREAT DAY. That day (annAL) It is most 
Beautiful day in our lives- as this is the day that has made us say this. – 
is the anubhavam one needs to enjoy.

KrishNA went to MathurA to attend KamsaÂ’s dhanuryagam; he entered into the 
Ayudha saalai (in KamsaÂ’s place) and bent the bow to break it.

*- sathaika SIrshNa: says Bhagawatha on KaaLinga nardhanam.. So, hundred 
headed. (That's why the aindhalaiya is commented by Sri UttamUr swamy as 
given above)

11: alvazhakkonRumillaa aNikOttiyarkOn, abimaana thungan
selvanaip pOlath thirumaalE! naanum unakkup pazhavadiyEn,
nalvagaiyaal namO naaraayaNaavenRu, naamam pala paravi,
palvagai yaalum paviththiranE!, unnaip paLLaaNdu kooRuvanE.

Oh Sri kAnthA! Lord of LakshmI! The faultless, ornament of ThirukkOttiyoor – 
the chief of Bhagawathas of ThirukkOttiyoor – Sri Selva nambhi – One who has 
highest regards and abhimanam towards Bhagawaan and BhAgawathas. Like him, I 
am also Your eternal servant for long time (time immemorial). Og Most 
Pristinely Purest lord! akilahEya prathyaneekanE! (One who has no blemishes; 
and who is untouched by impurities of the Universe!) I sing mangaLAsAsanam 
(greetings) to You uttering Divine names of Yours, contemplating the most 
esoteric Thirumanthram (ashtAksharam) and its meanings, prostrating at Your 
Feet, considering that alone is the Purushaartham (the Goal) and nothing 
else!

Al vazhakku- vibharItha jnANam.
Periya Vaacchaan PiLLai mentions: ThirumALE! Implies that this Athma (jIvan) 
is the eternal Seshan (servant) of the Divya Dampathi (ivvAthma vasthu oru 
mithuna sEsham enRu siddhitthadhu)

This paasuram is said to be sung by the aishvaryaatthees who are invited by 
our Azhwar in the 5th paasuram (aNdak kulaththukku), and thatÂ’s why they 
address Selvan (who is considered even on par with AzhwAr if not above- so 
great is he- Selva nambhI)

12: pallaaNdenRu pavitthiranai, paramEttiyai, saarNGgamennum
villaaNdaan-thannai, villipuththoor vishnu-chiththan virumbiya-sol,
nallaaNdenRu-n^avinR-uraippaar, namO-n^aaraayaNaaya-venRu,
pallaaNdum-paramaath-manai ,soozhn-dhirundh-Eththuvar-pallaaNdE.

This pallANdu pAsuram- sung by VishNu Chitthan of Sri VilliputthUr to greet 
for very many years on the EmperuMAn who resides in Parama Padham; who is 
Pristinely Purest; who has the saarngam (Bow) in his resplendent hand 
victoriously. Those who learn, practice and recite (contemplating on the 
most esoteric Thiorumanthram – ashtAksharam and realizing the sEshathvam and 
dAsyathvam of jIvAthmA to the Lord eternally) this pallANdu- will be blessed 
to perform mangaLASAsanam to the Lord of Srivaikuntam, circambulating Him 
and prostrating Him with eternal service to Him at all times.

Since the ThirumanthrArtham is to be contemplated while reciting this, it 
goes without saying that, this ThiruppallANdu is the essence of PraNavam and 
ashtAksharam. It contains the whole 4000Â’s essence in it, as the praNavam 
has the essence of Vedas enshrined in it.

In this greatest treasure, all srivaishnava SamudhAchAram is described very 
well. The Lord, His GuNAs, His weapons, His Beauty, PiraattIÂ’s Greatness, 
the service that one needs to perform to the Lord at all times as the Only 
Goal and enjoyment, the qualifications to perform such a kaimkaryam for 
mumukhsus, the detachment towards aishwaryam and Kaivalyam, Pancha 
samsakaram that one has to undergo (not just an individual; but the whole 
family has to indergo- that is very essential- (kudi kudi AtcheyginROm), the 
nAma sangIrthanam, SarNagathi, the Parama padham and the eternal service as 
the Parama Purushaathrtham even at parama padham singing pallandu there:- ) 
Naturally it is PRANAVAM PACKED in 12 pAsurams.

Thus, it is the forerunner of all Veda, Vedanthams, and 4000. Please recite 
this daily and contemplate on its beautiful meanings and significance.
