andhaNar maRaiyOr enRum adiyAr thoNdarenRum ivargaLukku nirUpakam
Simple Explanation
karma nishtas are identified as andhaNar and maRaiyOr; kainkarya nishtas are identified as adiyAr and thoNdar.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
For karma nishtas, the varNam, which is based on body which is a viSEshaNam (attribute) of AthmA and the resulting vaidhikathvam (being a vaidhika) are identity as said in thirumAlai 43 “sAdhi andhaNar” (belong to the class of brAhmaNa), periya thirumozhi 1.5.9 “thuNai nUl mArvin andhaNarum” (brAhmaNas who are having chest adorned with two yagyOpavIthams), periya thirumozhi 7.9.7 “thI Ombu kai maRaiyOr” (brAhmaNas who engage with fire in their hands) and periya thirumozhi 6.7.8 “nandhA vaNkai maRaiyOr” (brAhmaNas with most generous hands).
For kainkarya nishtas, more than gyAnam and Anandham, the intrinsic qualities of SEshathvam and the resulting kinchithkarathvam (rendering a little bit of services) are identities as said in thiruvAimozhi 5.6.11 “thirumAl adiyAr” (Divine servitors of SrIman nArAyaNa), perumAL thirumozhi 1.10 “aNi arangan thirumuRRaththu adiyAr” (SrI vaishNavas, inside the divine courtyard of that SrI rangam temple), thiruvAimozhi 6.9.11 “thirumAlukku uriya thoNdar” (apt servitors for SrIman nArAyaNan) and thiruvAimozhi 3.7.4 “thirunAraNan thoNdar” (Servitor of SrIman nArAyaNan).
