sevi vAy kaN mUkku udal enRu aimpulanum senthI puvi kAl nIr viN bUtham aindhum - aviyAdha njAnamum vELviyum nal aRamum enbarE EnamAy ninRARku iyalvu
Meaning:
enRu aimpulanum - The five senses, which are sevi - the ears, vAy - the mouth, kaN - the eyes, mUkku - the nose, and udal - the body; bUtham aindhum - the five elements, which are senthI - fire, puvi - earth, kAl - air, nIr - water, and viN - space; aviyAdha njAnamum - the unperishable knowledge; vELviyum - the karmas; and nal aRamum - the good deeds; enbarE - they say (how faulty is that) iyalvu - that these are the way to reach EnamAy ninRArku - Sri Varaha (who acted without looking for a cause).
Vyakhyana Saram:
To reach Him who is the goal, Azhvar says the means is bhakti.
This can be taken either as the bhakti that Azhvars have which
is supportive to their experiences of the Lord; or that Azhvar
is saying that He is the means and the end and yet some people
think of bhakti as the means.
