It is in His nature for Bhagavān to show His love, mercy and bestow His blessings on us. Āzhvār says, these actions by Bhagavān are not reciprocated based on our actions.
பகவான் நம் மீது கொண்டிருக்கும் அன்பு, இரக்கம், அனுக்ரஹம் ஆகியவை இயற்கை. இவை நம் செயலால் ஏற்படுபவை அல்ல என்கிறார் ஆழ்வார்.

- Verse 1:
The peerless Vamāna, who carries the conch and discus as his weapons, has long and beautiful feet worshipped by the seven worlds when he grew into space. Now, I can see that blue-gem Lord! - Verse 2:
My Lord's body is composed of the five elements, and He expands as the vast universe. When worshipped with love, He may not appear to the unworthy. What else does one need for salvation? - Verse 3:
My obedient mind, bow to the great Benefactor of our whole clan, the lotus-eyed Lord who offers soothing grace and bears the divine Mother, lovely and slim-waisted, on His beautiful chest. - Verse 4:
Good job, my mind! With you around, there's nothing we can't achieve. Is there anything else we could want? Consort of Lotus-born Lakṣmī, always young, don't leave me, even if I wander off. - Verse 5:
Haven't you noticed, my mind, how things happen unexpectedly? Did the seven worlds know the Lord would sustain them during the deluge? Who knew the Lord would measure the worlds in three strides and set His feet on them? Did you ever think you would see Him? - Verse 6:
My mind, if we keep going as we are, our sapphire-hued Lord, the Master of all, who is both our Father and Mother, will remove all our troubles and guide us to our true state. - Verse 7:
The Sovereign Lord is worshipped by the Celestials, who praise Him as their creator. How can I, a sinner, dare to meditate on Him and call Him my Father, Master, and everything? - Verse 8:
Someone said 'Celvanāraṇaṉ' and I heard it, causing tears to run from my eyes. I searched for Him while He was away; what a wonder! Through days and nights without pause, the perfect Lord, full of grace, tries to win my love and chooses to stay with me always. - Verse 9:
How could I ever forget my Lord of dazzling charm, the creator of the exalted beings in SriVaikuntam? He is the perfect Lord who stands in Tentirukkuṟuṅkuṭi with a beautiful form that shines like red gold. - Verse 10:
I don't know what it is to remember or forget, yet the Lord with red-lotus eyes knows I might forget Him. So, He has firmly settled in my heart, as if anticipating this. How could I forget such a precious Lord now? - Verse 11:
Those who eagerly learn these ten songs out of the thousand sung by Tenkurukūr Caṭakōpaṉ as a service to the Lord of sapphire hue, the one-of-a-kind jewel and overlord of the Celestials, will be filled with divine knowledge.
