Simple Translation

3854. The Supreme Lord, whom even Civaṉ and Piramaṉ couldn’t attain, bestowed His grace upon them when they intensely adored His lovely feet. He uniquely sustained the three bright worlds in His stomach at the end of each epoch and delivered them. Now, Tirumāl stands in Tirumāliruñcōlai, eager to enlist me as His vassal, showering upon me His supreme love.

Explanatory Notes

(i) The Lord, who sustained inside His little stomach all the worlds during the deluge, now wants to sustain Himself by clinging to the Āzhvār of whom He is passionately enamoured.

(ii) The Lord, who is well beyond the reach of even the exalted Śiva and Brahmā, is now after the Āzhvār and it is only to get at him that He has come down to Tirumāliruñcōlai.
