and is together with those divine feet every day, —

residing permanently at thiruvarangam —

eating (the sun’s) hot rays which are established firmly —

being firmly established as righteousness, wealth, love and mŏksham (attaining paramapadham or ṣīvaikuṇtam) —

as our thirumāl (emperumān) who has taken permanent residence in the corridor [of mrigaṇdu maharishi’s hermitage] at thirukkŏvalūr —

a saying “one should not engage in madal to sustain (one’s life)” —

even when manmadha strings arrows of flowers on his bow and shoots (affirming that engaging with madal is the purushārtham (benefit) now) —

the amaśing entity who has taken permanent residence at thirukkadanmallai (present day mahābalipuram) —

right at the central region of sun, whose rays are permanent and fierce —

one who drove away their long standing fear of death —

he, who is the most supreme among all men, made himself into a divine dwarf bachelor —

the manthara (a celestial) mountain which was ancholred firmly —

being the supreme being who is firmly attained by periya pirātti (ṣrī mahālakshmi) who resides on a flower —

like lighting a lamp which never gets put out. —

having a floor studded with distinguished gem stones —

having glittering pillars of red coral —

in the path of love towards bhagavān which is the well established path —

(in this matter of engaging in madal) we will follow the method prescribed in great samskrutha literature —

place inhabited by vaidhikas (those who follow vĕdhas) —

being wasted on the hard ground —
