Re: Translation required - Divya Prabhandham (Ragamalika, Adi)
Typing it out from the book 'Sri Nalayira Divya Prabandham - Vol II' by Dr. S. Jagatrakshakan. This is essentially the literal meaning.
(955) I had no schooling. I let my senses rule and to lead my heart everywhere. I lost a good life. O fie-to-me wretch, I roamed like death on all creatures. I put an end to my roaming everywhere, seeking a life of redemption. I found the perfect mantra for comfort: Narayana is the good name.
(956) It gives a good life, of wealth and family, and rages to ground all travails facing devotees; then grants the rule of the sky and earth with benign grace. It gives a man strength, and all that there is, with love that exceeds a mother's. It gives the pure good. I know the mantra, Narayana is the good name.
(957) Monsoon filled tanks, with gardens of nectar, bumblebees hovering in Mangai (the land called Mangai-nadu of which Thirumangai Azhwar was the ruler), KalikanRi (a reference to himself by Thirumangai Azhwar; lit.: one who put down with a strong hand the might of Kalipurusha) sang the decad of pure songs, with words of choicest delight pure. Call when you go to sleep, recall in distress, distress will flee, the song will remain, medicine for all ills, come O devotees, Narayana is the good name.
