Tamil text and transliteration:

ஏக சிந்தையனாய்க் குருகூர்ச் சடகோபன் மாறன்
ஆக நூற்ற அந்தாதி ஆயிரத்துள் இவையும் ஓர் பத்தும் வல்லார்

nāku aṇaimicai nam pirāṉ caraṇē caraṇ namakku eṉṟu nāḷtoṟum-
ēka cintaiyaṉāyk kurukūrc caṭakōpaṉ māṟaṉ
āka nūṟṟa antāti āyirattuḷ ivaiyum ōr pattum vallār
māka vaikuntattu makiḻvu eytuvar vaikalumē.
English translation of verse 5.10.11:

Out of the thousand composed by Caṭakōpaṉ
Of Kurukūr for his edification, with singular devotion
Unto to the Lord on Serpent-bed, whom he looked upon
As his sole refuge, will enjoy bliss eternal in high heaven.
Note
Ādiśeṣa, the Lord's couch cum bed will not allow the Lord to give up the supplicants and therefore it is that the Āḻvār seeks to take advantage of this favourable combination.
