Introduction

As per the aspiration to sing about the divinity in the previous paasuram azhvar now proceeds to enjoy the same.

Commentary

(pani neer vulagam adiyaLandha mAyar avarkku) For that supreme Lord, who by His enthralling action measured the cool world surrounded by ocean on all sides with His divine feet.

Earlier azhvar said “thozhil pAdi” let us sing about His godly chores now he makes it a reality by singing about the actions of Thrivikrama. Further he said “kazhal pAdi” let us sing praises to His divine feet. Now he continues to do the same extending the same to His divya ayudhas (weapons), divya thirumeni (physique) and His divine bed.

(kanal Aazhi, kAr kadal vAi veN sankam, veyya gadhai, sarngam, veN chudar vAl, seyya padai kayya)

Sudarsana chakra (discus) that emits powerful radiations on His foes;

The divine conch (panchajanya) white in colour but born from dark ocean;

Gadha (gowmOdhaki) hard and powerful on enemies;

sarnga, the mighty bow;

nandhaka, sharp and glittering knife;

All the above enchanting weapons glitter in the Lord's divine hand. Enemies fear to see the above deadly weapons while bhakthas view these as beautiful ornaments adorned by their dear Lord.

(paravai pAzhi) pArkadal (milky ocean) is His divine bed;

What amazing weapons! Interesting place to sleep on ! Admires azhvar in astonishment.
