SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

nadandhakaalkaL nonthavO
  nadunkuNYaala mENnamaay,
idanthameyku lunkavOvi
  lankumaalva raichchuram
kadanthakaalpa ranthakaavi
  rikkaraikku danthaiyuL,
kidanthavaaRe zhunthirunthu
  pEsuvaazhi kEsanE!      (61)

[A wonderful pAsuram] 
The one who has performed grand deeds in other
avathArams ? is all this Lord of Thirukkudanthai who
is reclining. Oh Lord! The One who has most beautiful
black curly long tresses! [kEsanE]! 

On the banks of the river Cauveri- which flows
crossing the large mountain hurdles, forest and
deserted areas on the way, breaking down as large
number of canals and flow continuously- You have
chosen to recline in Thirukkudanthai in such a grand
beautiful and divine posture. Is it due to the
exertion of your tender soft red lotus feet taking a
walk from Ayodhya upto mythilA (before marriage) and
AyOdhyA to lankA later? Have they pained for you to
take rest? OR is the whole ThirumEni (divine body-
dhiyva mangaLa vigraham) endured during Your Varaaha
avathAram killing HiraNyAkshan and brining back BhUmi
PiraaTTi (Universe) back from troubled waters? Please
bless me with an answer as to why You have reclined
and may Your such divine Yoga nithrA (reclining) long
live for aeons! [vaazhi]

Nadantha kaalgaL- the legs that walked- may also refer
to Thrivikrama avathAram- scholars say. Where He has
walked, this may be referring to that avathAram. 

Not just the lotus feet that exerted; It is the whole
ThirumEni that exerted in Huge Boar avathAram; The
thorns and stones hurt the feet while walking; It is
the whole Universe- with all its mountains, oceans,
rivers and forests- how mush pain that would have
caused on His sowkumArya ThirumEni (tender Divine
Body)! 

Yezhundhirundhu pEsu- Get up and speak- If You attempt
to speak while lying down, I may feel more concerned
and worse that Your pain is so much that You are not
able to even get up. Hence please dispel my worries
and get up to speak to me. If you do that, at least I
will feel that the pain has subsided and I feel good. 

ArAamudhan just like Sri RanganAthan was reclining
fully at Thirukkudanthai andd when AzhwAr had prayed
for getting up to speak, He broke His archA samAdhi
and started to rise. AzhwAr being overwhelmed by His
dayA, mercy and solwbhyam heeding to his own request,
enjoyed the divine Beauty of His ThirumEni sings
mangaLAsAsanam ?long live your reclining posture?
[vaazhi? ]. Hence even today, Amudhan blesses us with
the reclining posture with a slightly raised position
as if He is getting up [udhyOga sayanam]- as mentioned
by scholars. 

Sri UttamUr Swamy adds: OR it may also be possible
that Amudhan was reclining in the slightly raised
posture even before. When AzhwAr request Him to get up
to talk to him, Amudhan heeding to Asrithar?s
[greatest devotee?s] plea, attempts to get up. AzhwAr
feeling overwhelmed with His sowlabhyam, request Him
not to get up and says, ?vaazhi? singing
mangalaasaasanam for His udhyOga sayanam. 

OR yezhundhirundhu kidandhavaaRu- Having seen the Lord
reclined as if he is getting up,  AzhwAr asks as to
why are You not getting up? ?Becaause of the exertion,
I am not able to get up any further?- the Lord
responds, and hence AzhwAr sings vaazhi- may You live
long for aeons to come in this position! ? can be
another anubhavam ? Says Sri UttamUr Swamy. 

The Lord breaks his archA samAdhi and speaks to
AzhwArs at all dhivya Desams and hence this is not
uncommon. Here probably He did not speak immediately
and hence AzhwAr asks as to why You do not talk? Is it
because Your legs pain? Your body aches? Etc.. Readers
may refer to 20th verse where also AzhwAr requests the
Lord to tell as to why You stooped down so low holding
the manthara mountain on Your top for the sake of all
those Devas who claim themselves to be demi gods?    

kEsanE- it not only refers to long haired PerumAL. It
may also be interpreted as KesavanE.. kesavaa! kESaath
vO(S)nyatharasyAth. 

Ka ? BrahmA?s antharyaami (in the indweller inside
Chathurmukha brahmA)
Isa- the indweller inside Rudran.
Thus He is the Supreme Lord- above all and He is oppAr
mikkAr illAdha maamaayan. (unparalleled and
unsurpassed, Peerless Lord)
