Vyakhyana Saram:
In the beginning, Azhvar called those who seek only Him to join Him in mangalashasanam. Even though those who wish for kaivalya and wealth seek other things, Azhvar decided to call them to join him as well. In that group, seeing their misfortune, he called those wishing kaivalya first. In this pasuram, he is calling those seeking wealth and things of this world to join him.
