Introduction
Since the Lord is always accompanied by the divine mother, I will not have any hinderance in attaining the result. If there is a day when I realize His involvement with me, then all the days before and after become useful days. Going forward let my mouth never endingly talk his praise.
Commentary
(sen kaNmAl engaL mAl endRa nAL sendRa nAL sellAdha ennAlum nALAgum) If there comes a day when I realize that that red lotus eyed sarvEsvaran, graced me with his cool eyes and showered his love on even people connected to me, then not only this day when my knowledge blossomed but all those past days that prepared me for this flowering and all those days that are going to follow becomes very important days in my life. So irrespective of the past or present or future every day in my life is meaningful and cherishable, since past ended in this day and future starts from this day of jnanavikAsam (blooming of knowledge) that leads to ultimate happiness.
In the second half of the paasuram peyazhvar explains how he is going to spend rest of his days.
(endRum eRavAdha endhai) "bhoothAnAm yO avvyaya: pithA:" (eternal father of all the jeevas) my father
(eNai adikkE ALAi) One lotus foot of the divine Lord can be compared only to His other lotus Foot. Each foot is comparable only to the other. And I am a humble servant of his divine feet.
(en vAi maRavAdhu vAzhththuga) Let my mouth sing mangalasasanam to Him perpetually.
