One who has the vast dark blue hued Divine Body, which is so
appealing and attractive to our eyes! The unparalleled One who shows Himself

is surrounded by tall strong ramparts, and where strong warriors who fight 
in the battlefield and conquer the enemies! ANNA! Please remove adiyEnÂ’s

Oh Emperumaane! The One who wears the thuLasi maalai (garland)

back on Your horn as the Greatest Varaaha rUpI! Bhaktha

Insatiable nectar! (ArAamudhE!-) the One who is at
ThiruveLLakkuLam, which is surrounded by most
beautiful gardens! Please bless adiyEn! (ArAamudhE!
AdiyERkku aruLaayE!)

9. Oh EmperumaanE! The One who has Periya PiraaTTi
seated in Lotus flower resides and adorns Your chest!
Lord (DevA!_ of ThiruveLLakkuLam, which is quite
popular and famous among people and are always
uttered and praised by them! Please take pity on me
saying “aiyO! my daasan is suffering from samsaaric
afflictions!”. (aa! Aa! adiyaan ivan! enRu aruLaayE!)

10. This ten is on the wealthiest Lord of ThiruveLLakkuLam
where devoted, brahmins live in large numbers. This was
sung by Thirumangai Kaliyan, who has got strong shoulders.
Those who are able to recite them (or read these meanings)
Will be praised by others and join the band of NithyarsUris.
