This pAsuram details the upAuya swarUpam. The next pAsuram details the upEya 
swarUpam.

We do not have sAsthric/vedic knowledge to attain You(gnAna yOgam).We do not 
perform our duties meticulously(karma yOgam).They do not have enough bhakthi 
(aRivondrum illAdha).Dont they have enough devotion? Yes they do have devotion 
but the devotion is not considered as a means to attain HIm. We are going 
behind the cows and our knowledge is naught. Is this a qualification for 
attaining emperumAn? Do they have anything else?
Yes they have got Lord krishNA Himself.(puNNIyam yAmudaiyOm).
You have got all the qualities without any dilution (kuRai vondrum illAdha) for 
rescuing us.
Okay, He may have all the strengths to save us, but why should He save us. He 
has the characteristic to save us ( gOvindhA)
He may have the characteristic to save, but why He should save us- That is 
because we are the souls and He is the owner of the souls and this relationship 
can never be disowned (vuRavEal namakkingu vozhikka vozhiyAdhu)
Even if we have done any mistakes You please condone us and grant us our 
requirement. What is the mistake referred to here. 'sirupEAR'. We had called 
you as 'nArAyanA'and this is the mistake we have committed. How is this a 
mistake? 
The ARAyirappadi vyAkyAnam has clearly stated this. 
"thangaLukku asAdhAranamAyiruppavanai sAdhAranamAyiruppavan enRu solluvadhu 
kuRRamiRE" . The Lord has been very kind to them. He has been one among them 
unlike for others. They have expressed the common "nArAyanA" instead of the 
unique relatinship.
The term 'nArAyanA' can be expressed for establishing supremacy. For those who 
are submerged in His saulabhyam , saushElyam and rakshagathvam-swayed by 
'gOvindhA'-is it fair to express the name 'nArAyaNa'? This is being explained 
for 'sirupEAr' by swAmi azhagia manavALap peurmAL nAyanAr in the great 
ARAyirappadi.

The karma,gnAna and bhakthi yOgam are not considred as means by 
srEvaishNavites. SAkshAth dharmam is sri krishNA who with His immense strengths 
and by His grace can save us, which we realise after considring the 
relationship with Him and the emptiness in our hands -as quid-pro-quo.
He is the upAyam.
