AzhvAr wondered where he can get to see these darSanams again. He remembered the divya desams like tirnaRaiyUr, tiruvAli, tirukkuDandai, tirukkOvalUr etc,. He realized that emperumAn is following up with all the pastimes He enjoyed doing in those kshetrams, in tirunIrmalai itself. Immediately, AzhvAr starts praising tirunIrmalai.
emperumAn takes His avatAram with His pirATTi-s. He vanquishes our 61. THIRUNEERMALAI
enemies. He dissolves our sins. He is living in tirunIrmalai with great felicity. AzhvAr advises us not to listen to the words of undesirable people, but fall at His feet for salvation.
PerumAL had once enjoyed the intimate associations of SrI nappinnai pirATTi and SrI mahAlakshmi. During those times and other times also, He had no sympathy for the asura-s. He is in a standing pose in naRaiyUr; He is seated in tiruvAli; He is reclining in tirukkuDandai; He is in walking pose in tirukkOvalUr. He is living very pleased in tirunIrmalai. Make a point of worshiping Him there.

MEANING:
kANDavanam is a famous forest that belonged to devendran. There were several trees and herbs. His friend, dakshan, the king of serpents, was living there too. It was an indestructible forest. One time, arjuna and his friend kRshNa were playing ball near that forest. At that time, agni bhagavAn came and requested kRshNa to provide him food. Thinking of killing the asura-s hiding in the forest, bhagavAn ordained agni to consume kANDavanam. He also said that if anyone obstructs agni in the process of consuming, arjuna will fight and protect him. When indra was watching, agni jumped into the forest and burned it all. AzhvAr is saying that the emperumAn who helped burn the kANDavanam is living in tirunIrmalai.
Next, he says that sarvEsvaran, same as kRshNa who killed the foes of paNDava-s in mahAbhArata war and rid the earth of a huge burden, same as nRsimha who tore open hiraNyan's broad chest with His nails, and same as vAmana, who entered mahAbali's yAga grounds, requested for three feet of land and grew into trivikrama as soon as the ablution waters fell on His hands and measured the three worlds, is giving His darSanam in tirunIrmalai.

MEANING:
In the mahAbhArata war, emperumAn was wearing on His beautiful tirumEni, the discus that was every ready to do battle, the plough, and the conch. He came dressed that way for removing the misery of bhUmi pirATTi, whose chest is decorated with ornaments in order to entice the attention of emperumAn. The battle was a grave one; one that would finish off a lot of people. He conducted this battle and made ten thousand kings die each day. In order to kill the sindhu king, jayadratha, He hid the Sun with His brilliant discus to make night out of day. That sarveSvaran is living with happiness in this tirunIrmalai.

emperumAn came as the invincible, matchless nRsimha and furiously destroyed hiraNyAsuran. He made the ladies who were being patronized by hiraNyan and were wearing flower garlands to fall into the funeral pyre. He was friendly with the panca pANDava-s and He vanquished the hundred kaurava-s including the egoistic duryodhana and protected draupadI's honor. That sarveSvaran is living merrily in tirunIrmalai.

MEANING:
Once during treta yugam, the mighty rakshasan, irAvaNan, who was backed up by boons from his tapas, was torturing deva-s and brAhmaNa-s. PerumAL took avatAram as cakravarti tirumagan in order to vanquish him. He built a bridge over the ocean, by throwing mountains into the same. This bridge reached all the way to lankai, rAvaNan's place. rAma reached lankai that was surrounded by forts that touched the moon. He destroyed the city and used His brahmAstram to sever rAvaNan's heads that were wearing gem-studded crowns. He then went back to tiruayoddhi and had His coronation.

61. THIRUNEERMALAI
MEANING:
During the praLaya [flood], emperumAn is offering protection to the whole wide world, the cloud-clad mountains, the oceans, the Moon and the Sun, by preserving them in His stomach. “ellA ulagum Or tuRRARRA” (tiruvAi.2.8.8 all the worlds form His food; it is not enough for His one mouth) - He is One who thinks that is not enough for His stomach. It is like His feeling that whatever He has to protect is not sufficient; His Feeling to Protect is foremost for Him. He always thinks that however much He has done for His devotees, He could do more.
As pasarurAman, He eradicated twenty one generations of kings who were ruling over the world surrounded by ocean; the very name 'king' was made to disappear from usage. He is the prabhu – Lord, of all that exists and there is no one equal to Him; Everything is included in Him; He is the soul of everything; yet, He stands out distinctly. Since He sleeps on the water, He has a special name, nArAyaNan. He represents everything except Him also; hence named nArAyaNan. That sarveSvaran is having tirunIrmalai as His place.

MEANING:
Long time back, there was an asura called hiraNyAkshan, who was very radiant. He was priding himself saying there was no one equal to him. emperumAn killed him and his fame and destroyed the cities established by the asuran. Even the asura's name disappeared from the earth. That hiraNyAshan had a brother, hiraNyan/hiraNyakaSipu. He had kept a sword that could defeat even the deva-s. He could not stand the mention of 61. THIRUNEERMALAI
even one of the thousand nAmA-s of the Lord. He never worshiped emperumAn's tiruvaDi even a single day. If someone mentions VishNu's name, he will get angry and say. “ko ayam vishNu” (who is this vishNu – VishNu purANam 1.17.21). emperumAn killed him for the sake of prahlAda. Then, prahlAda himself prayed to Him to excuse his father's sins –

MEANING:
AzhvAr is advising other people not to indulge in unwanted religions. The jains wander around like corpse-eating, naked ghostly women. Saying that one should not kill other lives, they will sweep the floor they walk with peacock feathers. They have no fear, no shame. They are not afraid that they are like this. They do not feel ashamed of what others would think of them, when they see them. Developing a hatred for them for not having any respect for religious practices, for not praying to bhagavAn, for not following any SAstric rules and for wandering around as they want, pray to sarveSvaran, the Lord of SrImahAlakshmi.

There are a lot of undesirable matter in the world. So, there is nothing to talk about them. How long can one talk about unwanted matter? If you take bhagavad vishayam, time will not be enough to complete it. That is immeasurable. Even vedam is not able to complete talking about it saying, “yato vAco nivartante”, 'iti na', 'iti na' ('neti, neti' - it is not so, it is not so) and stands back (He cannot be described through speech, and cannot be reached by mind - taittirIya 2.9.1)

MEANING:
Oh youthful lady! Why are you madly in love with that grey haired purANa purusha (oldest primordial Chief) of tirunaRaiyUr (naRai Lord)? She utters loudly of His most exquisite Beauty, His lAvaNya, soundaryam as well as His love for the divine consorts and says that she would certainly visit all His divya desams where He resides on His own accord in pristinely purest form.
most beautiful colored my small darling daughter; will (or does) not listen to my words Thus, I have committed so many pApams (for me to see my daughter suffer like this and listen to her these words) [and what she says is this:]
His divine body (divya mangaLa vigraham) is kAr vaNNam is blue hued dark 61. THIRUNEERMALAI
most beautiful one; “kaNNum vAyum kaittalamum aDi iNaiyum” the most beautiful large eyes, the mouth, the limbs, and the pair of His Feet kamalam vaNNam are like freshly bloomed red lotus flowers the color and the feminity are aplenty in Goddess BhUmi PirATTi (and on Her)
He is fond of; or is under control (of Her) on cool red lotus flower seated is the most divinely beautiful Sri MahAlakshmi and on Her. He is madly in love with emperumAn such greatest and wonderful Lord- Sarva Swami- My Lord Where is His divine place?- asks she nIrvaNNan the blue hued colored Lord’s nIr malaikku pOvEn - I will only go to His divine place tirunIrmalai divya desam; - she is firm on.
Isn’t the right way the women folk (who are insistent upon damaging themselves) need to abide and stand firm on? (I now understand..) Look at His divine form; Look at His divya mangaLa vigraham. What a color!
What a beauty! What a lAvaNyam! And soundaryam! See that alluring attraction and charm of His divine form? How can one stay away from Him? My Lord is so beautiful. Matching His youthful form and beauty are His divine consorts Sri MahAlakshmi and Lakshmi’s priya sakhi SrI BhUmi PirATTi (madhavim madhavapriyAm). She (BhUmi PirATTi) is His beloved. It can be also read that the Mother (of ParakAla nAyaki) mentions this beauty and then tells that her daughter is now asking where is His divya desam. It could mean that the mother in law is admiring the son-in-law’s majestic beauty. (Er vaNNam- my beautiful colored girl). When she starts off describing her daughter’s beauty, it may mean that she can compete with her would-be son-in-law’s.
Also pattar, pittar- The Lord is madly in love with divine consorts. Here there is bahu vacanam (plural). Hence it is uttered by mother in law and is mentioned with respect. While the ParakAla nAyaki mentions nIr vaNNan (in singular) implies the love (nAyaki) can address Him in singular form with love or if it is uttered only by ParakAla nAyaki (for the whole verse), then when praising Him, plural; and when scolding Him or blaming Him (for saving her), singularly. She (mother) claims that she is a pApi for being blessed with such a daughter. She in fact is proud of such a girl. She implies her pride in such words- say pUrvAcAryAs. Indeed, the mother of ParakAla nAyaki is blessed.

BOODATHAZHWAR MEANING:
Let us continue to enjoy the next AzhvAr’s, bhUtattAzhwAr’s wonderful anubhavams on tiruvEngaDam wherein AzhvwAr also refers to tirunIrmalai.
In last verse- AzhvAr had mentioned about the state of mind of a Prapannan [one who has surrendered to the Lord]. The Lord Himself due to His dayA, vAtsalyam on His child, takes so many births; and be residing in so many divya desams – says AzhvAr here.
He learnt [to wait] here at Srirangam; He learnt [to wait] at tirukkOTTiyUr; He has been waiting at tiruvEngaDam for very many ages; and also been at tirunIrmalai for thousands of years. Why? Because the Lord, mAl- the one who is desirous [of me] wishes to give Himself His most wonderful soundarya tirumEni [divya mangaLa vigraham] to me. He is such an audAryan; vaLLal; benefactor; AzhvAr starts off saying the Lord has been learning to wait for at Srirangam and tirukkOTTiyUr for so many ages; How? By reclining and having Yoga nidrA? PirATTi appears to be asking the Lord: is that the way one will wait for the child? Get up and stand; eagerly wait for him; then only he will come towards you. The Lord thus stands at tiruvEngaDam; PirATTi again appears to have asked: What is the use in just standing? Walk, sit, recline and stand. ninRAn; irundAn; kiDantAn- at tirunIrmalai;
It does not mean that only these four temples are to be referred to. The Lord takes such arcA avatArams at 108 divya desams and other abhimAna sthalams 61. THIRUNEERMALAI
as well. All for our sake.
AzhvAr says: He has been waiting at tiruvEngaDam many ages; pannAl. Why? Because AzhvAr has not turned towards Him for very many births. NammAzhvAr also echoes the same sentiment: annAL nI tanda Akkai vazhi uzhalvEn.
mARi mARi pala piRappum piRandu; I have taken very many births in the past due to my karma; and had taken the bodies granted by you; now I have become devoted to You due to Your grace on me.
Hence AzhvAr says: so long, you have been waiting for me – patiently - now I have been blessed by Yourself.
