Simple Translation

With true awareness that the triple faculties of mental apprehension, speech and bodily actions, already at your command, are meant to be solely dedicated to Irai (the Lord), place them at His exclusive service, duly divested of all their erstwhile misplaced attachments and inhibitions.

ul̤l̤am — mind which is used for meditation, etc-; urai — speech which is used for verbal glorification, etc-; seyal — body which is used for prostrating, etc-; ul̤l̤a — which we have from the beginning; im mūnṛaiyum — these three which are readily available to us; ul̤l̤i — understanding their purpose; keduththu — giving up attachment towards worldly pleasures; iṛai ul̤l̤il — towards the master who is apt for us; odungu — become totally subservient

Detailed WBW explanation

Instead of having to earn the tools, the tools to worship Emperumān (mind, speech, and body) are already bestowed upon us for engaging them in Bhagavath Viṣayam. Meditating upon this aspect, one should relinquish attachments towards other pursuits and fully dedicate them to Bhagavath Viṣayam.
