  Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the derivation Lie algebra of ${\mathbb C}[t_1^{\pm
1},t_2^{\pm 1}]$. Given a triangle decomposition
  $\mathcal{L} =\mathcal{L}^{+}\oplus\mathfrak{h}\oplus\mathcal{L}^{-}$, we
define a nonsingular Lie algebra homomorphism
$\psi:\mathcal{L}^{+}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ and the universal Whittaker
$\mathcal{L}$-module $W_{\psi}$ of type $\psi$. We obtain all Whittaker vectors
and submodules of $W_{\psi}$, and all simple Whittaker $\mathcal{L}$-modules of
type $\psi$.
