Simple Translation

Friends, shall the grace of Nārāyaṇaṉ descend upon us so we may recite His holy names? By His grand grace, He resides in gracious Tiruvallavāḻ, adored by SriVaikuntam and Earth, where thousands of pious and gracious brahmins have their abode.

Explanatory Notes

(i) Tiruvallavāḻ is described here as the city of grace, adored alike by those on Earth and in spiritual world. Actually, mis description holds good in respect of all the pilgrim centres on Earth, where the Lord of limitless grace makes Himself visible and easily accessible to one and all, in His iconic (worshipable) Form, adored best of all His five manifestations.
