By paying our obseince to those sacred hills our karmas which are a hindrance to our attaining a seat in Vaikuntum will be destroyed.
Explanation-- Sriman Naryana is residing in Tirumala hills because he thinks that those hills are a good and worthy place for him to take residence Hence in order to get rid of our karmas it is more than sufficient for us to pay our obseince and worship these hills.It is not necessary to traverse all the seven ills and reach the temple to worship Sriman Narayana enshrined as Sri Venkateswara within the temple .

In this hymn he says that it is not necessary to travel all the way to the hills to pay our obseince but is sufficient if we worship a part of these sacred hills in our heart from where ever we are."Part of hill" refers to Lord Venkateswar/Srinivasar .
If we place Srinivasar in our hearts and worship him by chanting slokas and hymns ,that itself will cure us from the tedious circle of life and death.

Those who learn and recite these 10 Pasurums will be praised by all.
Explanation --If the question arises as to why this last hymn refers to Trivikrama avatar of Vishnu where as the preceding 10hymns are on Venkateswara, the answere is found in Peria Thirumozhi of Thiru mangai aazhwar.
The pasurum[1.0.41] is as follows--
உண்டாய் உறிமேல் நறுநெய் அமுதாக ,
கொண்டாய் குரளாய் நிலம் ஈரடி யாலே ,
விண்தோய் சிகரத் திரு வேங்கடம் மேய
அண்டா !அடியேனுக்கு அருள் புரிவாயே
Undaai uri mel naru nei amudhaga ,
kondai kuralai nilam yeeradiyale
vinnthoi sigarath Thiru Vengadam meya
Andhaa! Adiyenukku arull purivaye !.
Leader of Devas ! You are enshrined in Thiru Vengadam hills whose cliffs touch the skies.
You ate butter kept in hanging pots like as if ,it was amurthum.
You took avatar as Vamana and measured entire earth merely by your feet,
You must bless me.
Explanation--The sacred feet of Vamana avatar as also that of Sri Krishna avatar and lotus like feet of Sri Venkateswara are one and the same-viz -they are all the scared feet of Sriman Narayana .
Note .Thiru Vengadam means Tirumala hills
Thiru Vengadathan means Sri Venkateswara
Vaikuntum --The blissfull abode of Vishnu and Maha lakshmi/Sriman Narayana

One who has a huge mouth which swallows the world during deluge[pralaya]
Ammane! You have indestructible fame!
Bright Moorthy! You are encircled by eternal sparks of light!
Infinite One!You are the dearest life of this humble devotee!
My Bhagwan Sriman Narayana has risen to bless all in Thiruvengadam,which is like tilak to this entire world.
I belong to the clan that has been in Your service since time immemoriol.
You must show this devotee the means to attain Your sacred feet.
expla--Aaazhwar says , I have only you Sriman Narayana,as my protector and you must bless me to reach your sacred feet and thus attain Moksham --the state of no return .
2.கூறாய் நீறாய் நிலனாகிக் கொடுவல் லசுரர் குலமெல்லாம் ,

Sri Venkatanatha! Aren't you the personification of five elements?
Sriman Narayana you are also the bright and luminous sun and moon.You became Siva and Brahma.
Having so many praiseworthy qualities you must show me your extra ordinary form, one day or the other to bless me.
I am a crude and cruel person who needs to be blessed by You [bhagwan] appearing before me with Your sharp chakra and white conch and sacred feet.
Even if you do not come for my sake , You must make a appearance in Your auspicious form in order establish that Your fame and wealth hasn't declined .This will make the people of this loka as well as Deva loka happy and joyful.
explanation--Sriman Narayana rules two Vibhuthees [realms] viz -earth and Vaikuntum with his bright chakra[disc]
In Vaikuntum the chakra rules the realm with its beauty but in here on earth it rules with its sharp edges .
In Vaikuntum it is a pleasant sustenance. In this world it first destroys enemies of devotees of Sriman Naryana and then sustains living creatures.
According to Nam pillai the disciple of Parasar Bhattar [Parasar bhattar was the son of Koortah aazhar who was a close disciple of Sri Ramanujar.Parasar bhaattar is famous for writing a commentry on Vishnu sahasarnamam from Sri Vaishnavaite view point] 'Sunai thamarai malarum senthee 'refers to aazhwars admission that to have a darshan of Sriman Narayana in his full form with all his weapons is as unlikely and as impossible of a lotus blooming due to fire instead of the sun rays or of lighting the wick of a lamp with water instead of oil..

Lord Venkateswara! You have risen in a place where clear and pure water falls deposit gems, gold and pearls.
I have enslaved myself to You and am desperate to reach Your sacred feet .
Bless me to attain Your sacred feet by means of Your sacred will ,by showing compassion towards me.
expla-- Sri Venkateswara combines the quality compassion towards His devotees with a beautiful form which is as pleasing as the clouds .

Consort of Mahalakshmi!Deva! Lord Venkateswara! Huge crowds of Muni's and Devas adore You.
I have done terrible misdeeds .Yet bless me to reach Your lotus like sacred feet.
expla-- Tirumala is the place where all those who act in accordance with Sriman Narayana's will ,collect in huge numbers.
Azhwar says that it is his misfortune and effect of his bad karmas that he is unable to experience the sweet and infinitely pleasurable sacred feet of Sriman Narayana.
He implores Sriman Narayana to teach him the ways to reach Him.

Lord Venkatesvara! You have risen in the hills where elephants that look like huge clouds gather.
When will I reach Your strong feet on which Your bow -Saranga rests?

Lord Venkatesvara! Devas gather in huge crowds at Tirumalai to worship Your sacred feet that measured the world!
They are worshipping my BhagwanSriman Naryana enshrined at Tirumalai at all times in three ways.--by their deeds,,speech and thoughts with help of their wisdom ,tongue and mind..
When will I who has been enslaved by you reach the hills to worship Your sacred feet?

Nectarine One! Your sweetness is experienced by Your devotees!
Leader of Nitya suris! Garuda who kills enemies, is in your flag!
My BhagwanSriman Naryana Your mouth is like a red fruit!
You are the medicine to cure the diseases called karmas that piles up in huge numbers.
Lord Venkatesvara! I have not under taken any penance in order to have a darshan of Your sacred feet ,despite that my body has wasted way.My body is withering away due to my insatiable yearning to have Your glimpse just for few seconds.
Tradition--When a devotee asked Sri Parasar bhattar as to which sloka should be chanted whilst dedicating food to BhagwanNarayana ,he replied ,recite the pasurum Adiyen mevi[above pasurum] as also Pachimamali pol mien -a pasurum by Tondar adi podi aazhwar,since this is the advise given by Sri Ramanujar in his Nithya grantha [ A book written by Ramanujar giving the list of daily activities to be followed by Sri Vaishnavaites].
8.நோலா தாற்றேன் உன்பாதம் காணா என்று நுண்ணுணர்வின்

8.Nola thatren unpadam kanna yendru nunnurvin
neelar kandadhathamanum nirai nanmuganum indiranum

It is not I alone who admit to not having done rigorous penances or followed the proper methods to have a glimpse of Your sacred feet ,but also the very intelligent Siva whose neck has turned blue owing to drinking poison , and blemishless Brahma as well as Indra , who all admit individually to thier not undertaking any means to attain You and they come to worship you at Tirumala sorrounded by women with fish like eyes as they also feel that worshipping You at Tirumala is more than enough to attain Your sacred feet .
Lord Venkatesvara! This shows your unique distinction .
You had assumed the avatar of Krishna of black hue, to enslave all.Enslave me also!
9. வந்தாய் போல் வாராதாய் !வாராதாய் போல் வருவானே !

andho adiyen un padam agalgilen iraiyume.
One who comes yet does not come! One who doesnot come yet comes!
One who is as pleasing as ambrosia owing to lotus like eyes, deep red lips and four sacred shoulders !
Lord Venkatesvara ! My dear life ! The bright glow of Chithamani gems have dispelled darkness and turned nights in Vengadam into day , where You have risen.
This devotee is unable to tear himself away from Your sacred feet even for a few seconds.
explanation--- Sriman Naryana is detatched from nature yet He is its inner controller.
He appears only before those who have attained knowledge about Him and not those who haven't.
He is capable of remaining in Vaikuntum and also assume avatars taking forms of living beings at one and the same time!
Such avatars are taken in this world which is full of beings that are born due to their enslavement to thier karmas.
Aazhwar says -He doesnot know whether he will reach Vaikuntum [which is beyond sun and space ]where there is no schism between day and night, as it is beyond time , in order to experience Narayna's beautiful form but is confident of enjoying His auspicious and beautiful form in this earth itself at Tirumala where the bright gems turn night into day , thus creating the timelessness which is similar to Vaikuntum.
He is highly satisfied with this and says he will not be able to bear it even if Narayana blessess him with the vision to see Him at Vaikuntum.

Sri Venkatesvara!You have the sacred chest where in resides ,the resident of lotus flower[MahaLakshmi],who has vowed never to depart from You even for a few seconds!
You are of incomparable fame! You own all the three worlds ! You rule over me.
Sri Vishwaksena and crowds of Nitya suris and munis who are all very fond of Tirumala where You have risen to bless all!
I have no other refuge than You.Hence I sat under your sacred feet and surrendered myself to You.
explanation---
In order to seek quick fruition of their desires crowds of Nitya suris and munis surrender at the feet of Sri Venkatesvara in presence of his consort Mahalakshmi.
In preceding 9 pasurums aazhwar describes the qualities of Sarveswara with special emphasis on his compassionate quality of accepting of surrender of all beings to Him and his eagerness to protect all the surrenderees.
Aazhwar admits his inability to perform other means apart from surrendering , to attain Him
In this pasurum he surrenders totally to Sriman Narayana before His archa [idol] form as Sri Venkatesvara at Tirumala.
This pasurum is said to explain the meaning of Dvaaya mantra.Dwaya mantra is said to be propounded by Bhagwan from Katho upanishad .
Dvaya mantra has two parts.In the first part Sriman Narayana's sacred feet is approached through the good offices of his inseparable consort Mahalakshmi.
The second part is admission of one's absolute subservience to Bhagwan Vishnu/Sriman Naryana after seeking refuge at His feet .
11.அடிக்கீழ் அமர்ந்து புகுந்து அடியீர் வாழ்மின் என்றென்றருள் கொடுக்கும்
படிக்கேழில்லாப் பெருமானை பழனக் குருகூர்ச் சடகோபன்
முடிப்பான் சொன்ன ஆயிரத்துத் திருவேங்கடத்துக் கிவைபத்தும்
பிடித்தார் பிடித்தார் வீற்றிருந்து பெரிய வானுள் நிலாவுவரே .
11.Adi keezh amarindhu pugundhu adiyeer vaazhmeen yendrarull kodukkum
padikezhilaap perumanai pazhana kurugoor Sadagopan,
mudippaan sonna aayirathu Thiru Vengadathukivaipathum
pidithaar pidithaar veetrirundhu peria vannull nilavuvare.
Sri Venkatesvara the Bhagwan of Tirumala points His hands to His feet asking His devotees to surrender to Him and get His blessings.
Sri Sadagopan of Thirukurugoor ,which is sorrounded by fields has sung 1000 songs in worship of Bhagwan SrimanNarayana who is incomparable,
Out of these 1000 pasurums these 10 pasurums are on ThiruVengadam .
All those devotees who learn them and recite them will establish themselves in the indestructible and eternal Paramapadam --Vaikuntum.
Note: Thiru Vengadam means Tirumala hills.
