Introduction

That supreme Lord, embodiment of the whole universe, became very easily accessible to me, since he descended to Thirumala and from there into my heart he resides unable to move out;

Commentary

(eRaiyAi) Do you know who entered my heart Oh! That supreme power who is sarvaswamy, the master of one and all entered my heart;

(nilanAgi) He is the antaryami of the earth; The hidden agenda is to enter my heart;

(eNdisaiyum thAnAi) Inner soul of all the 8 directions;

Like police rounding off a whole area to catch a thief, to enter azhvar’s heart emperuman entered all objects in all the directions;

(maRaiyAi maraiporulAi) He by his ultimate grace delivered the Vedas and he is the one talked about fully in it, the very purpose of which is to make me cognize the good and bad, do’s and don’t’s. The knowledge of the Vedas made me realize finally that the goal of the sastras is to show Him to me;

(vAnAi) paramAkAsam-Paramapadam;

He is the controller of the Nithya mandalam;
“veedu thiruththuvAN” [Thiru 1-5-10]

After making the efforts to capture azhvar’s heart perumal gets involved in decorating the divine abode in such a way to welcome the divine soul, azhvar.  But during the in-between time before azhvar reaches paramapadam, perumal resides in Thirumala, to make azhvar enjoy in ecstasy as Lord in archavatara is the most easily accessible form;

(piRai vAindhaveLLaththaruvi viLangoLi neer vEnkadaththAn) The divine hill that is greatly elevated as if touching the Chandra mandal, waterfalls flooded with water gorgeously decorating the hill and number of waterways making pleasant sound is the divine abode of the supreme Lord Venkatesa.  He awaits the time to enter azhvar’s heart and bless him with divine service;

(vuLlaththin vuLlE vuLan) He now takes a permanent place in my heart; After achieving the goal all the other places of residence in nature, archa divyadesam doesn’t interest Him  as He rejoices inside my heart;
