SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Now Alavandhaar describes the Lord being seated with
Her in Srivaikuntam. 

thayaa sahaaseenam anantha bhOgini
prakrshta vignAna balaika dhaamani
paNaamaNi vrAthamayooka maNdala 
prakAsamAnOdhara dhivya dhaamani  [39]

With such Greatest PiraaTTi [ocean of dayaa-
compassion], You are seated on the Divine Body of
ThiruvananthAzhwAn [AdhisEshan], who has aprAkrutha
dhivya maNi maNdapa above him; who is the sole seat of
infinite effulgence, jnAnam [knowledge] and strength;
with the whole SrIvaikunta illumined by the rays
arising out of the gem stones in the thousand heads or
hood of AnanthaazhwAn. 

vaikuNtEthu pare lOkE sriyaa saarddham jagathpathi:
aasthE vishNu rachinthyAthmA?. ? Alavandhaar mentions
the same here. Just like the Lord, even Adhi sEshan is
addressed as Ananthan. Sri Visnu purANA also mentions
AnanthAzhwAn as: naantham guNAnAm gacchanthi
dhEnAnanthOyam ucchyathE?

whatever size, form, the Lord takes, AnanthAzhwAn also
takes the same compatible size to serve Him. He
performs immeasurable, innumerable kinds of service
[kaimkaryam] to the Lord. Though he has many guNAs, he
exhibits only jnAna, bala guNAs to match abd enjoy
being the favourite of the Lord ? who is SankarshaNan.
SaasthrAs say that the five forms of jyOthisha sasthrA
was established by AnanathAzhwAn only. 

Also it is AnanthAzhwAn who blessed us with Sri
Bhasshyam [by taking the most compassionate Acharya
avathAra namely Sri Ramanujacharya]. Not only does He
support the worlds; He lets the Lord and Sree, bhU,
neelA dEvis sit on him and crush his body with their
leelAs and playful deeds. He is possessed with such
bala [strength].

During mahaa praLayam, when none is there except the
Lord as a small Baby having all the worlds in His
stomach lying down on the little Banyan leaf,
AdhisEshan was the leaf; 
When He took takes avathArams, He also appears as
brother, or umbrella (in Vamana), in the padhukas
during ParasurAma, as the horse in Kalki avathAram. 

He is thus Paraanujan; vibhavaanujan; archAnujan as
well He is the kuNdalini in the Haarda avathAram. He
is the beauty, softness, fragrance, and tenderness
personified for the Lord?s bed. The beauty of Adhi
sEshan with his radiant white hue is captivating. He
is like a mountain made up of dazzling silver. On that
soft and beautiful seat, the Lord is resting like an
emerald mountain. From there, our Lord, the master of
all nithya sUris, rules all the universes. Swami
Desikan describes the Lord as Marathaga Giri ( emerald
mountain) seated on the rajatha giri (silver mountain)
of Adhi sEshan , which is His bhOga Paryankam
(enjoyable throne /bed)

The brightness from gems from the thousand heads hides
the real light of Srivaikuntam and shed this light.
Such effulgent form is AdhisEshan?s. Thus along with
Periya PiraaTi, You are seated on top of AnanthAzhwAn.
You are Sriya: Pathi. 

Here one can enjoy and contemplate Savya paadham? the
dhyAna sloka of Ashtaakshara manthra. 

Alavandhaar ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
