To extricate ourselves from the otherwise inextricable bondage of ‘Karma’ and to serve the Lord, the Āzhvār deems it but proper that we should reach this sacred hill where the Lord stays for ever, with great delight. That He is the great deliverer is writ large on the person of Lord Aḻakar enshrined there, proclaiming His great glory as the deliverer of the inhabitants
In this pāśuram, Śrī Nammāzhvār declares that the sacred hill of Thirumalai, where Sarvēśvaran has mercifully taken up residence, stands as the most fitting and ultimate refuge for all souls. The Lord's presence in this abode is for the express purpose of severing the formidable bonds of karma and graciously accepting the eternal service (kaiṅkaryam) of His devotees.
