Shlokam 3:

bhooyO namOaprimithaAchyuta bhakti tatwa

jnAnAmrutabdhi parivAha shubairvachObhi:|

lohEavatIrNa paramArtha samagra bhakthi|

yOgAya nAthamunayE yAminAm varaya||

aparimita - limitless, achyuta - SrimannArAyana who never lets down anyone 
surrendering to Him,

bhakti- devotion, tatwa jnAna - true knowledge (filled), amrutAbdi - ocean of 
nectar. parivAha - which is like a flood, shubhai: - with auspicouos qualities 
such as pleasantness, sweetness, tranquility and hence most desirable, 
vachObhi: - by words, lOkE- in the world, avatIrNa - appeared, paramArtha - 
with divine meanings, samagra - complete, bhakthi yOgAya - with devotional 
penance, yAminAmvarAya- supreme among sages, nAthamunayE- to srimannAtha muni, 
bhooya:- again, nama: - obeisance.

tatparyam:

Again I pay obeisance to the sage supreme SrimannAthamuni because his devotion 
was limitless. The Lord never lets down anyone who surrenders to Him. 
SrimannAthamuni prays , using auspicious words, to such a Lord with over 
flowing knowledge, devotion and renounciation towards worldly desires. He took 
incarnation only to liberate the ignorant people of this world. It is because 
of his works , that chEtanas would acquire limitless knowledge and devotion 
backed by disinterest in worldly desires.

Thus in the above three shlokas, Sri AlavandAr pays obiesance to 
SrimannAthamuni. In the next shloka he prays to Parashara maharshi who gifted 
us with the spiritual gem Sri Vishnu PurAna that gives knowledge about chEtana, 
achEtana and Ishwara.

AlavandAr tiruvadigalE saranam
