payan anRAgilum pAngkallar Agilum seyal nanRAgath thiruththip paNi koLvAn kuyil ninRAr pozhil sUzh kurugUr nambi muyalginREn undhan moykazhaRku anbaiyE
Meaning:
payan anRu Agilum - Even though having no use from them (who are saved by him), pAngku allar Agilum - and even though they are unqualified to be saved, seyal - by his act nambi - Nammazhvar, kurugUr - who is from Thirukkurugur which is pozhil sUzh - surrounded by gardens kuyil ninRu Ar - with singing nightingales, nanRaga thiruththi - corrects paNi koLvAn - and saves them. moykazhaRku - To his great divine feet muyalginREn - I attempt anbaiyE - to show my love.
Vyakhyana Saram:
Madhurakavi Azhvar thinks of the great help that Namamzhvar
did to him and realizing that the bhakti he showed Azhvar is
nothing compared to that help, begins to perform love at his
divine feet immediately. Thinking of that great help, he
says that he can never repay that. One can never repay an
acharya ("krutasnAm vA pruthivIm dadhAnna tattulyam
kathanjcana"). After all, the acharya gives us nothing less
than Him and the only equal thing to repay with is Him. As
we cannot do that, Madhurakavi Azhvar stands at the position
tht he can never repay his acharya.
payan anRAgilum pAngku allar Agilum:
Even those who are not qualified to receive anything. Even
those who are to be rejected as they have no attachment to
Him.
payan anRAgilum:
A person helps another because of the fact that there is
something in it for him. But Nammazhvar has helped others
even when there is nothing in it for him.
pAngku allar Agilum:
Even if they have nothing to give him, at least they should
have the quality of listening and understanding what is
being said. But they do not. Then why does Nammazhvar teach
such people? He is like Sita pirAtti who advised even Ravana
("mitramaupayikam kartum"). Seeing their lowly status and
unable to bear it, Nammazhvar advises them. His state is
like that of those who would try to put out the fire which
is burning at the front and back of a person's house.
seyal nanRAga:
Nammazhvar's grace is such that standing in his own state he
can correct even those who are not qualified to receive his
grace. Unlike Him, Azhvar does not evaluate the quality of
the person and then provide the grace; Azhvar simply turns
his grace on everyone.
kuyil ninRAr pozhil sUzh kurugUr:
Madhurakavi Azhvar says that if one becomes attached to
Nammazhvar then one can attain happiness in this place
itself. To reach Him one has to go to Paramapadam
("EtassAma gAyannAstE"). That is available only for the
Muktas. Mumukshus only get this place (thirukkurukoor).
Nammazhvar's completeness is such that in this place
itself it provides delight which is the same as that of
being with Him, the Nityas and the Muktas.
muyalginREn undhan moykazhaRku anbaiyE:
Madhurakavi Azhvar strives to perform love and affection at
Nammazhvar's divine feet.
