Tamil text and transliteration:

தேனைநன்பாலை கன்னலைஅமுதை திருந்துஉலகுஉண்ட அம்மானை
வானநான்முகனை மலர்ந்ததண்கொப்பூழ் மலர்மிசைப் படைத்தமாயோனை
கோனை வண்குருகூர் வண்சடகோபன் சொன்ன ஆயிரத்துள் இப்பத்தும்
வானின்மீதுஏற்றி அருள்செய்துமுடிக்கும் பிறவிமாமாயக் கூத்தினையே. (2)

English translation of verse 8.4.11:

These ten songs out of the thousand of Kurukūr Caṭakōpaṉ,
Adoring the Lord, highly delicious, like honey, milk and canejuice,
Who in His stomach did all the worlds sustain,
The wondrous Lord, who did on the cool lotus, from His navel, produce
The exalted Brahmā, will their chanters lift unto Heaven
And engage them in the eternal service of the Lord,
The mysterious cycle of birth and rebirth, no more to dread.

Notes:

(i) Release from family bondage, that is, end of the great saga of worldly life and attainment of the final bliss of eternal service unto the Lord in Heaven are the benefits of chanting this decad. Attainment of the heavenly bliss automatically results in the severance of worldly ties, like unto the prince, languishing in prison, being crowned as soon as the king dies, (so as to avoid the land going without a monarch even for a while), followed by the removal of his fetters.

(ii) The Āḻvār grew apprehensive of the Lord’s safety because of His extra-ordinary sweetness, like unto honey, milk and cane-juice and this fear got dispelled by the recollection of the Lord’s unique prowess in sustaining all the worlds, during the deluge.
