நீசனேன் நிறைவொன்றுமிலேன் * என்கண்

Detailed Explanation

In this fourth pāsuraṁ of the chapter, Śrī Nammāzhvār continues his meditation on the boundless glories of Śrīman Nārāyaṇa, directing his focus to the Lord who stands manifest on the sacred hill of Tirumalai. The Āzhvār poses a profound rhetorical question, as highlighted by our revered pūrvācāryas such as Nañjīyar: For Emperumāṉ, who has so graciously united with
