Dear Sir,
Here "kolvaan" is vinaiyecham not vinaimuRRu..and hence does not point to any gender. Take an example.. "nangu vilanguvaan vEndi" here vilanguvaan does not mean any male gender and means,"to understand". So in this paasuram, we have to read as "iRRai parai koLvaan anru" ..as one phrase.which means that "iam not for this immediate benefit alone..but for future births also.(which is said in the next lines as "iRRaikkum EzEzhu piRavikkum"..
Regards,
Nanmaaran
