1. I just thought of considering myself as Emperumaan (Thirumaal)'s
servant and the moment I thought of that, immediately, with no
ambiguities, all my good and bad deeds (puNyam and paapams) all vanished
and I have no burdens now. Is this a blessing to ME! Even this lowly,
incorrigible sinner? When I keep thinking of that, is there anything else
that I need to do except being and working as a servant to His Servants?
Hence, I consider only being as His servants' servant alone as the ONLY
Grandest one I need to be of. Even if I am blessed to obtain all three
worlds under my control, still I WOULD ONLY LONG TO BE THE SERVANT OF HIS
SERVANTS MORE THAN ALL THOSE THREE WORLDS. I will never leave that
BhAgyam. And AM I TO EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU? ( Is it necessary?)

immaiyE payanE inbam yaanbeRRathu* uRumO paaviyEnukkE? 8.10.2

2. What a BhAgyam I have- The one who has committed only sins and nothing
but that! I am blessed to be the servant of His Servants. When I have
that- HOW does it matter- if I have the wealth of all three worlds! Or
have the AthmAnubhavam (or Kaivalya anubhavam)! These two I do NOT need.
All enjoyment that I am in need of- is being the servant of Emperumaan's
servants. The pleasure and blissful experience of serving the
BhAgawathAs/servants who serve at the Lotus Feet of Emperumaan- the Blue
hued - black cloud coloured Lord Sriman Narayanan- alone is the Most
worthiest pleasure of this birth.  There is NOTHING EQUAL TO THAT.

3664:

chiRumaa manicharaay ennaiaandaar* ingE thiriyavE.  8.10.3

3. Emperumaan appeared as short Vaamanan and took the Big Trivikrama
avataar to fill the entire Universe. It is a great BhAgyam to reach His
Lotus Feet. But Grander than that bhAgyam is that of serving and being
enslaved by His servants. Those servants (who are small human forms; but
are tall in their jnAnams) are here in this world- Should I involve myself
in Emperumaan Vishyam? No. I would only serve these bhakthAs who are here
in this world! Will that be fitting for this mahA Paavi (the Greatest
sinner)?

3665:
ingE thirindhERku izakkuRRen!*  irumaa_nilam mun_undumizndha*
chengOlaththa pavaLavaaych*  chendhaamaraikkaN ennammaan*
pongEz pukazkaL vaayavaayp*  pulan_goL vadivu enmanaththathaay*
angEy malargaL kaiyavaay*  vazipattOta aruLilE?  8.10.4

4. It is NOT wrong and criminal to wander in this world without desiring
for Paramapadham. Because, here we have Emperumaan's devotees and
BhAgawathAs (like this Bhakti group) in this very world and it is even
better to be in such world and perform kaimkaryam to them. Emperumaan, the
One who brought out the Earth back and saved- has the Red Coral lipped
BimbhA fruit like mouth. He has the Most beautiful red Lotus eyes. The
devotees- BhAgawathALs - who think of His such form in their minds always
and perform Thiruvaaraadhanam by offering flowers- I would love to walk on
the same track of performing such kaimkaryams. (and perform these "little"
kaimkaryam of posting Divyaprabhandhams to these BhAgavatOttamALs. )

3666:
vazipattOta aruLpeRRu* maayan kOla malaradikkeez*
chuzipattOdum chutarchchOthi veLLaththu* inbuRRu_irundhaalum*
izipattOdum utalinil_piRandhu* thaNYcheer yaan_gaRRu*
mozipattOdum kaviyamutham* nukarchchi uRumO muzuthumE? 8.10.5

5. It is possible for us to be blessed by Emperumaan to perform kaimkaraym
to Him at His Lotus Feet at Paramapadham and enjoy His lustrous form. But,
composing these offerings in sweet verses (pAsurams - poems) and
performing such kaimkaryams in this birth is much better and greater .
BECAUSE, WE HAVE GOT THESE "useless" lowly human births and WE ARE able to
make use of them for such great acts of singing pAsurams, after listening
to His kalyANA guNAs)

3667:
nukarchchi uRumO moovulagin*  veedu pERu than_gEzil*
pukarchchemmukaththa kaLiRatta* ponnaazikkai ennammaan*
nigarch chempangi erivizigaL* neenda achurar uyirellaam*
thagarththuNtuzalum putpaagan* periya thanimaap pukazE? 8.10.6

6. Emperumaan KaNNan killed the strong kuvalayaapeetam elephant
effortlessly; He is My Master- the One who has the ChakrA in His Hand; He
is the One who rides  on GarudA; He is the One - the Greatest One who
killed the Big headed , fiery eyed asurAs; - Like that singing (and
writing) of His kalyANa guNAs and His such Grandest deeds are anyday
better and more enjoyable than even having the blissful Anandham and
anubhavam of Emperumaan Himself having and ruling all three worlds under
His control  and  under His creation. (NampiLLai says: Even being the
ruler and being a SarvEshwaran of all seven worlds is NOT EQUAL TO even
the enjoyment Tasting Thiruvaaymozhi! Wow! What a statement! Challenging
even Emperumaan!

3668:
thanimaap pukazE eNYNYaanRum* niRkum padiyaath thaan_dhOnRi*
munimaap pirama muthalviththaay* ulagam moonRum muLaippiththa*
thanimaath theyvath thaLiradikkeezp* pukuthal anRi avanadiyaar*
nanimaak kalavi inbamE* naaLum vaaykka nangatkE. 8.10.7

7. Emperumaan, appeared as the Creator Himself as the Primordial Chief and
obtained the peerless, unmatched fame and greatness ( thanoppAril appan!)
and created BrahmA (by being the essence, seed  and anthrayaami in him);
He, thus created all worlds thereafter; It is GREATEST to be at those
tender lovely Lotus Feet of Such Grandest Emperumaan and serve Him; But
even bigger than that pleasure is being with HIS SERVANT AND UNITING WITH
THEM. IT IS MUCH MORE PLEASURABLE TO UNITE WITH HIS SERVANTS/DEVOTEES THAN
WITH EMPERUMAAN HIMSELF. I need to get that pleasure and aanandham alone.

3669:
naaLum vaaykka nangatku* naLirnNeerk kadalaip padaiththu*
than_thaaLum thOLum mudigaLum* chaman ilaatha palaparappi*
neeLum padar_pooNG kaRpagakkaavum* niRaipannaayiRRin*
kOLumutaiya maNimalaipOl*  kidandhaan thamargaL koottamE. 8.10.8

8. Emperumaan created the coolest seas; What a Beauty He is! Look at the
way He is reclining on that Sea! Those lovely Feet are like the long, well
spread out flowers! His shoulders are as if the KaRpaka tree by itself has
grown! (so merciful!) His Crown shines like millions of suns! He reclines
like a mountain of Emerald on the Sea! WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE BLESSED TO
UNITE WITH HIS DEVOTEES!

3670:
thamargaL kootta valvinaiyai* naachaNY cheyyum chathirmoorththi*
amar_koL aazi changuvaaL* vilthaNtaathi palpadaiyan*
kumaran kOla aingaNaivELthaathai* kOthil adiyaardham*
thamargaL thamargaL thamargaLaam* chathirE vaaykka thamiyERkE.8.10.9

9. Emperumaan is the One who saves the devotees and removes their sins and
karmic diseases! He is capable of taking any form to remove our enemies
(and also His!). He is Youthful "kumaran" who has the five weapons (Pancha
Ayudhams) in His Hands. He is Father of the Cupid (manmathan).  All that I
pray for is to be the servant of servants of servants (who served Him!-
AzhwAr here uses "thamiyERkku"- past tense!  Those who served Him! Because
there is no sathrugnAzhwAn in the present; It is past!- as per NampiLLai's
eedu vyAkhyaanam).

3671:
vaaykka thamiyERku* oozithORUzi oozi*maagaayaam-

neekkamillaa adiyaardham* adiyaar adiyaar adiyaar eNGkOkkaL*
avarkkE kudigaLaaych chellum* nalla kOtpaatE.  8.10.10

10. My Master has the lovely body and Divya mangaLa ThirumEni (like the
"kaayaampoo"?). He has four shoulders and has ChakrAyudham in His hand.
For this Bhagawaan alone at all times, Sri VaishNava devotees are blessed
to serve Him and they have that BhAgyam. WHOMSOEVER ARE THEIR SERVANTS'
SERVANTS' SERVANTS - THEY ARE ALL OUR MASTERS AND CHIEFS. That BhAgawatha
Bhakti is the Best aim and principle for us. (NammAzhwAr says!). That
alone is all that I need to be blessed with.

3672:##
nalla kOtpaattu ulagangaL* moonRiNnuLLum thaan_niRaindha*

chollap patta aayiraththuL* ivaiyum paththum vallaargaL*
nalla pathaththaal manaivaazvar* konda pendir makkaLE. (2)8.10.11

11. All three worlds are filled with the principle of considering
BhAgawatha Seshathvam alone as the beat servitude and Paramaanandham. The
Red Lotus eyed Lord, kaNNan is filled entirely in all these three worlds!
About this KaNNan, Sri SadagOpar of Thirukkurugoor has sung 1000 pAsurams.
Out of these 1000, readers of these ten, ALONG WITH THEIR SPOUSES,
CHILDREN, WILL BE CERTAINLY BLESSED TO BE SERVANTS OF HIS BHAAGAWATHAAS,
while continuing in their Grahsthasramam.
