Look at this kaNNa pirAn—who snatched away the crowns, might and glories of the foes; made their wives lose their ear rings (made them widows); loosened the iron chains on the legs of vasudEva, His father (who was in prison) and saved gajEndra who was caught by the crocodile. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam where there are lotus ponds where huge lotus flowers are found. The crab entered the lotus flower. At that time pearl-like flowers fell from the areca nut trees and blocked the mouth of the crab’s house. The crab could not go to his hole and stayed in the flower. AzhwAr says he saw this sengaNmAl in this divya dESa.

Look at this boy who drank the poison and milk of the wicked pootana who came disguised as yaSOda to feed Him with her milk and kill Him-which nobody would dare do. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam of tiru nAngoor where—bees hover over the karuneidal flowers grown alongside the paddy crops; making a buzzing sound; where women wearing anklets work in the fields making jingling sound of the ornaments.

kaNNan would enter the huts where Aichchis would keep fresh butter. He would eat from all the houses and pull their sarees too. Thus would He roam the AyarpADi. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam where there are tall coconut trees the fruits of which fall on the mango trees. The fruits get carried by the river ponni (kAvEri) along with different kinds of flowers leveling the ground as she flows with force.

Our kaNNan is like a dark cloud. He defeated the seven powerful bulls that had curved horns, were dark and angry for the sake of nappinnai pirATTi. Come out and see Him—who married her—in tirutteTTriyambalam where there are tall mansions. The trees and creepers grown there grows so high as to touch the moon, tie him with their tendrils and make him immobile. This static moon shed his beam on the gems studded walls of the mansions making them very bright and brilliant.

Oh! Look at this ever young moorti who has samslESha with periya pirATTi (having a golden belt over her hips) and nappinnai pirATTi (having shining white teeth and dark long eyes) that the ornaments like necklace and chains worn by them get crushed in the act. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam where there are beautiful women (with sweet and soft speech) living in beautiful houses capture and imprison the minds of young men with their bow-like brows.

This emberumAn is the one who cut off the mountain-like twenty arms of rAvaNa who thought proudly—‘Aha! This young human being considers Himself as the sole monarch., Should I tolerate Him and call myself as the king of rAkShasas!’. He challenged rAma for the war but was finally killed by the ‘human being’. He resides in this divya dESa called tirutteTTriyambalam where sweet and beautiful doe-eyed damsels teach their pet parrots sweet words.
This pASura poses difficulty in interpretation especially the first two lines because of their ambiguity. Sree rAmAnuja’s SiShyas appar tErazhundan naiyar and others approached BaTTar who was a mere lad and had not had any formal teaching of SAstra. BaTTar asked them to read the pASura. Immediately he explained the pASura as said above.

Look at this mischievous emberumAn who took a vAmana avatAra, entered the yAga Boomi of mahAbali, begged three feet of land from him. Loot at His roopa—a brAhmaNa boy with sacred thread across His shoulders and a deer skin round His waist. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam where the beautiful women take bath in the river. The kumkum paste applied to their breasts dissolve in water and get settled on the white sand dunes.

Look at our emberumAn my swAmi who took enormously huge varAha avatAra, in whose hoof was the mEru mountain got stuck, making a clinging sound like the small pebbles in the anklets. He lifted Boomi pirATTi from the aNDa Bitti placed her on His tusk and walked briskly shaking His huge form causing the trembling of periya pirATTi in His tirumArbu. He resides in tiru nAngoor where there is the combined noise of vEdic chanting, reading of six vEdAngas, discourse of itihAsas and purANas, chanting of vEdic mantras in sacrifices, singing hymns to Him—heard at all times that makes the city of tirutteTTriyambalam a wealthy city.

Look at our emberumAn who swallowed and kept inside His tiruvayiru the seven worlds, oceans, hills and mountains eight directions, aNDas and pervaded all of them. The deluge water flooded the whole regions and the level of sea rose. He resides in tirutteTTriyambalam where the vaidikas always chant four vEdas and where there are gem studded mansions adding to the spiritual and material wealth of the city.

tirumangai AzhwAr, the chief of tirukkuraiyaloor, who always bears a spear in his hand has sung ten pASuras, a garland of words on emberumAn who resides in tirutteTTriyambalam which is a beautiful city with beautiful mansions. Those who read them and enjoy the BAva will rule over this earth while here and enjoy the kainkarya of emberumAn like nityasooris in paramapada.
