SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

AzhwAr explains why and what is the reason for such
fearlessness and boldness of his. 
 
sollinumtho zhiRkaNumtho
  dakkaRaatha vaNnpinum,
allun^aNnpa kalinOdu
  maanamaalai kaalaiyum,
allin^aaNma larkkizhaththi
  naatha!paatha pOthinai,
pulliyuLLam viLvilaathu
  pooNdumeeNda thillaiyE.     (118)

Oh Dear divine consort of lotus seated PiraaTTi! My
Mind! during the actions of the tongue (while
speaking), while performing through the body parts
(and limbs), and while performing the other actions,
at all times, contemplates and meditates the love and
devotion [on You]; at day and at night; and also at
the twilights (when the day meets the night and the
when the day dawns- sandhyA kaalams); the mind hugs
and embraces Your unparalleled pair of lotus feet and
consider that as the prApyam (Goal) and is firm on
That alone. [hence the fear is dispelled] 

This verse -like the earlier one- is also towards him-
anusandhAnam. Or one may also say that like the
earlier verse this addresses the Lord as well. So,
nAThA! is addressing Him. Or if it addresses to
himself, it is to be read as nAtha paadha as one word.
The firmness of AzhwAr?s  mind on the Lord?s lotus
feet is described here. The soul also is firm is
mentioned in the next verse (119th verse) 

Anbinum- With love, devotion, affection- on the Lord-
thus manas (mind) is referred to; That too- it
shouldbe preethi roopam (in the form of affection,
prEma while serving Him); the word, the praise, the
slokas
the recitation or rendering during ArAdhanam shall be
in the form of pleasing Him; it should be laden with
prEmai; one should have moist eyed while praising Him
with sthOthras or recites the pAsurams. Thus dhyAnam
also should be such; 

One can have perhaps more concentration at night or at
sandhi (twilight); during day time, there may be many
hurdles and disturbances; But here, at all times, at
days, at nights, the firmness of mind is mentioned.
Nan pagal- Good day time (because the dhyAnam is on
Him firmly).. 

pagalinOdumaana- evening is also included herein. Some
spend the entire day and evenings on other [material]
work and unlike that AzhwAr always think of the divine
Lotus feet of the Lord during the entire
day (24 hours). The morning and evening at dawn and
dusk- it is prescribed in saasthrAs to think of the
Lord and hence that is also included as ?aana-. [some
do before noon and doze off in the afternoon
after lunch [like me:-) ]
