நோற்ற நோன்பிலேன் நுண்ணறி விலேனாகிலும்  Nammazhwar says he is not well versed in Karma, Gyana and Bakthi Yoga இனி யுன்னைவிட்டு,ஒன்றும் ஆற்ற கின்றிலேன்  Nammazhwar says that  he  can not depend on any one else but  the Lord of Vanamamalai and hence can not leave him  எந்தாய். உனக்கு மிகையல்லே னங்கே. Nammzhwar says that he is one amongst those that Lord of Vanamamalai is bound to protect and requests him not to treat him as an outsider. அங்குற்றே னல்லே னிங்குற்றே னல்லேன் Nammazhwar says that he does not belong to the  Nithya suris in Paramapadam nor he is one of those perform Nithanushtanam in this earth  உன்னைக் காணும் அவாவில் வீழ்ந்து,நான் எங்குற் றேனுமல் லேன் Nammazhwar says in the eagerness to have darshan of Lord of Vanamamalai,  he is nowhere yet சங்கு சக்கரத் தாய்! தமியேனுக் கருளாயே. Nammazhwar pleads to Lord of Vanamamalai who wields Sangu and Chakram to protect this isolated soul பொருளல்லாத என்னைப் பொருளாக்கி அடிமை கொண்டாய் Nammazhwar recalls the compassion of the Lord of Vanamamalai for having made him worth while and given the vegetative status of his body since birth. அருள்செய்தங்கிருந் தாயறி யேனொரு கைம்மாறே. Nammazhwar offers his gratitude to the Lord of Vanamamalai and says how he ever going to repay the debt உன்னை எங்கெய்தக் கூவுவனே? Nammazhwar wonders how he would call to reach out to the Lord of Vanamamalai எய்தக் கூவுதல் ஆவதே எனக்கு?  Nammazhwar wonders if it is proper for him to call out to the Lord rather it would be more appropriate for the Lord to tak him into his fold on his own மென்னை யாளுடை,வானநா யகனே! தொழவுறை வான மாமலை யே!அடி யேன்தொழ வந்தருளே. Nammazhwar says that the Lord of Vanamamalai who is capable of taking him under His Lotus feet, should come to Nammazhwar to eanble him to worship the Lord of Vanamamalai  உலகுக்கோர் முந்தைத் தாய்தந்தையே! அந்தமில் புகழாய்! அடியேனை அகற்றேலே. Nammazhwar addresses the the Lord of Vanamamalai ,as Father and Mother to all in this world and one with endless fame and requests him not to forsake him மாயவல் லைம்புலங்களாம் அகற்றி என்னையும் நீஅருஞ் சேற்றில் வீழ்த்தி கண்டாய் Nammazhwat laments stating having given five inidriyas consumed by associated distractions from this word, he has been made to fall in in dirty mud from which he can not get out  எந்தாய்! அருளாய் உய்யுமா றெனக்கே. Nammazhwar pleads for liberation from this world ஆறெ னக்குநின் பாதமே சரணாகத் தந்தொழிந்தாய்,  Nammazhwar says that the Lord of Vanamamalai had shown Huis feet as the only refuge for him. உனக் கோர்கைம் மாறு நானொன் றிலேனென தாவியு முனதே தெய்வ நாயகனே! Nmmazhwar says that he is incapable of repaying for His grace and his Soul belongs to the Lord of Vanamamalai  தெய்வ நாயகன் நாரணன் திரிவிக்கிரமன் அடியிணைமிசை, கொய்கொள் Nammazhwar offers these 11 pasurams at the Lotus feet of the Deivanayagan  who is none other than Lord Sriman Narayana who took the Vamana Avathar and grew up to become Lord Trivikrama
