SRI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest All,

AzhwAr expresses in this 5th decad his ananyagatitvam
and (having none other as his refuge) Akinchanyam
(helplessness) which are closely tied to Saranagati. 

Thus praathikoolyasya varjanam (as per AmmAL): is
abandoning ways contrary to His will i.e. giving up
cruelty and other forms of injury. Furthermore,
recognizing the universal pervasiveness of He who is
sought after in self-surrender, 'abandoning ways
contrary, means refraining from cruelties and other
injuries to all beings.

etena vyAptivijnAnAt prapattavyaSya sarvaSa: |
AnukUlyasya sankalpAt prAtikUlyasya varjanam |
himsAdy apAyavirati: uktA sarveshu jantushu || )

Then one has to feel utterly helpless and completely
disqualified which is termed kaarpaNyam. 

Feeling utterly helpless --> abandoning all pride and
ego Because of one's incapacity to pursue other means
to moksha, and the inherent pitfalls therein,
relinquishing pride and being humble is known as
'kArpaNya'.

Thus the reason to overcome the feeling that he is the
doer is to realize that his action is due to the grace
of the Lord and that he remains His eternal servant.
 
More of it ?later.

Let us continue to enjoy the 5th verse.

Oh Lord of VitthuvakkOdu! KaNNA! The One who killed
effortlessly the strong cruel elephant Kuvalayaapeetam
in the palace entrance of Kamsa! Other than those your
twin lotus feet, there is none for me to get saved.
Where will I go for my upliftment / salvation
(Ujjeevanam) except to perform Prapatthi at Your
sacred feet? The bird that loiters around the anchor
of the ship can not go far away from the same (as
there is nothing else for the bird except that anchor
in the middle of the ocean.. Like that, for me too (in
this samsaara saagaram, there is no other hold except
your Lotus Feet.

engu pOi uygEn? - where will I go to get saved (but
for your lotus feet)..
