Translation of Sri P.B. Annangaracharyar Swami's Commentary

Shloka 1:
kshoNI kONa shatAmshapAlanakalA durvAra garvAnala
kshubhyat kshudra narendra cAtu racanAdhanyAn na manyAmahe |
devam sevitumeva niscinumahe yosau dayAlu: purA
dhAnAmuShtimuce kucelamunaye dattesma vitteshatAm ||

Meaning:
We do not respect the wealth gained by praising the mere lords of one portion of this world's land who are stuck with pride which is like fire. We only worship that merciful Lord who gave Kucela Muni wealth equal to that of Kubera in exchange for one fistful of rice.

Sri PBA Swami's Commentary:
There is no one to rule the whole world now, unlike Azhvar's time ("oru nAyagamAy Oda ulagudan ANdavar"). In the vast and spreadout land of this world, each king now rules only a very small portion. In spite of that, their pride in their royalship is enormous and beyond words. And their mind is drunken in that pride which is burning their common sense. To these small lords, there are those who go and praise them that they are like the Moon, like Indra, etc and get wealth from them to survive. Swami says that he does not have any respect for such people.

He has the fortitude ("unakkup paNi seydhirukkum thavam udaiyEn inippOy oruvan thankkup paNindhu kadaiththalai niRkai ninsAyai azhivu kaNdAy") that he will not seek anyone's doorstep but that of the Lord.

For those who have surrendered to the Lord, is there a lack of anything of this world? ("adimaiyennum akkOyinmaiyAlE angangEyavai pOtharum kaNdAy"). That He is pleased by the simplest things is seen from the story of Kucela Muni. Therefore, just as we look to him for things of the other world, so too for anything in this world we only look to Him.
