'Nãrãyanane namakke paraitharuvãn' - This Nãrãyana is one who could bestow us with Sri Vaikuntam. One who can bestow us with Sri Vainkuntam means that He can bestow us with everything including Sri Vaikuntam. One who can fulfill all our desires - 'parai tharuvãn' - So, let us all get together today and sing His praises- 'Nãrãyanane namakke paraithaurvãn' - Let us all get together to sing His praises.

Singing the glory of the One who appears foremost in the Vedas and dance about in the streets

Why did he say that one should dance about on the streets (singing the glory of the Lord)?

On auspicious days like Ekadasi people go on the streets singing the Divine Name of the Lord. This is called 'Nagara Sankirtan'. The Divine Name is spread in this manner especially in the Tamizh month of 'MArgazhi' [mid-December to mid-January]

Just like You protect me always, I earnestly pray to you to protect your children also, who are working diligently to spread your Divine Name

Our one completed year is equal to a day of the Devas. They wake up in this month of Mărgazhi. Our Mărgazhi month is 'prătha kăla', i.e. 3 to 5 in the morning, for the Devas. Early morning perform 'Thiruărădhana' for Bhagavăn, perform Năma Sankirtana

When we wake up in the morning we must do japa for a fixed hour, parăyana for a fixed hour; until then, do not speak to anyone. Let anything happen.
