English translation of verse 6.1.11:
Those that chant these songs ten, highly delicious,
Which unto Tiruvaṇvaṇṭūr pertain, out of the mellifluous
Thousand, composed by Caṭakōpaū of Kurukūr, adoring the feet
Of the Lord, Who, as Vāmana, wearing on His person radiant.
The sacred thread charming, took (from Bali) on the sly, the worlds.
Will unto the Lord be dear like the lovers unto their beloveds.
Note
The chanters of this decad will be coveted by the Lord and His devotees, the Apsarās in Heaven.
