In the previous paasuram, azhvar talked about bhAgavata samAsrayanam

(surrendering to bhagavatas) one of the all powerful ever fruitful upayas. Now

thirumazhisaipiran proceeds to talk about the other two-bhagavat

samAsrayaNam (surrendering to the lord) and bhagavata abhimanam (attaining

admiration of bhagavatas) and finally concludes with the greatness of

bhAgavata abhimAna nishtai, the charamOpayam (the last resort).

 

 

 

(veeRRirundhu viNNAla vEnduvAr) Those who remain with the strength to do

divine service to the lord in this world and aspiring to get service from

those in the divine abode;

 

 

 

(vEnkataththAn pAl thiruindha vaiththArE panmalargal) Those people are those

who have placed beautiful flowers under the divine feet of

thiruvenkatamudaiyan standing in thirumalai for the very purpose of

welcoming and granting all the wishes of his devotees.

 

 

 

(varumadhipArththu) "yEna yEna dhAthA gachchathi tEna tEna saha gachchathi"

The disciples follow the footsteps of the preceptor. Similarly the

bhagavatas reflect the thoughts of the divine lord.

 

 

 

(anbinarAi maRRavaRkE thAzhvAyiruppAr) they do the service that pleases the

lord and ever remain servants under his feet.

 

 

 

(tAzhvA eruppAr tamar mEl thiruindha vAzhvAr) If one is accepted by the

bhagavatas as one among them then he is blessed in paramapadam with the

ultimate bhAgavata kainkaryam.

 

 

 

As per the nyaya, 'yathOpAsanam palam' one who forms part of bhagavatha

ghosti here remains among the bhagavatas even in the divine abode.
