Simple Translation

Oh, wondrous Lord, in Your captivating form as the midget Vāmana, You enjoyed the entire universe, taking all the worlds from Bali. Please come to this land for just one day, so I can dance under the enchantment of Your presence.

Explanatory Notes

Unto the Āzhvār who invited the Lord to come down here and exhibit His superb Form, the Lord would appear to have told that He would rather comply with the Āzhvār’s request after lifting him up to spiritual world, in due course. But the Āzhvār insists that He. who displayed His exquisite Form to Asuras like Mahā Bali, shouldn’t hesitate to respond to his (Āzhvār’s) devout call and regale him, right here.
