Vyakhyana Saram:
In this thaniyan, Pandiya Bhattar tells his mind to wear the divine feet of the Srivaishnavas who say the name Srivilliputtur - which is the land of Vatapatrasayi, Periyazhvar and Andal. If it does that, along with him, it gains by speaking of the glory of Azhvar who established the supremacy of Sriman Narayana in the presence of the Pandiya king ("ishta prApti") and is saved from going in the wrong path ("anishta nivAraNam").
