SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,
Those demi gods pray to You not for show off or for
pretending. It is their sincere prayer and devotion at
Your feet for getting what they are seeking from You;
They pray and beg You their needs and wants to get
their worries and sorrows removed. How can I go and
beg them and why should a beggar go to other beggar?
na hi bikshukO bikshukAntharam yaChathE 

AzhwAr describes here:

veLLaivElai veRpun^aatti
veLLeyiRRa raavaLaay,
aLLalaakka dainthavanRa
ruvaraikko raamaiyaay,
uLLan^OykaL theermarunthu
vaanavarkka Liththa,em
vaLLalaarai yanRimaRRor,
theyvamn^aanma thippanE? (88)
 The One-who, when churning the huge manthara mountain
with [whitish toothed] Vaasuki snake as the rope for
churning the white milky ocean stirring the same
upside down, took huge unparalleled Tortoise [Koorma]
avathAram to hold the tumbling manthara mountain and
to stay course; and to grant Devas the nectar -
amudham to cleanse the sin of Sage Durvaasa and to
remove the troubles of asurAs and stribute to them the
entire amirdham; 
Such most merciful, most compassionate - taking such
troubles holding the moutain, letting His own milky
ocean being churned and in all granting what came out
to Devas, distributing them without actually giving
the same to asurAs. 

ParamOdhAran; - My swami- My Master; - But for Such
Greatest You- whill I ever bow down to others?
[Never]. 

Keeping the moutain itself is task. He did it; Holding
it with His Hands- He did it; It started tilting and
tumbling; 

It is He again who took Tortoise form and held the
mountain on His Top taking all weight on His back
[what a dayA! What a sowlabhyam! ] and churning- It is
he who helped with His black tresses moving here and
there falling on His Forehead so gracefully; And
granted the fruits that came out- i.e. Amirdham to
devas by distributing (cheating asuRAs by taking
mOhini avathAram) it is He who did that too.
Everything he had to do and so called other "gods" -
what were they doing? They were standing powerless-
weak and did not even wish to share what they had with
others [asurAs]. Such greatest vaathsalya swraUpi -
[personifcation of vaathsalyam] is You! Knowing fully
well that they can get anything from You including the
medicine to get rid of the cruel disease of further
births, did they become desirers [mukukshus] of
mOksham? Not yet. We - who are ParamaikAnthins- those
who are devoted to the Lord Sriman Narayanan alone and
none else- and only with the desire to get mOksham
[eternal service at Your feet at Paramapadham]- when
seeing materliastic desirers [kaamis] we need to stay
away and not associate ourselves with them "yooyam
yooyam vayam vayam" . That is acceptable to Saasthram
and to our Sampradayam. You are vaLLal. em vaLLal-
Benefactor- ParamOdhAran; mOksha pradhan; muktha
prApyan- Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. 

You are such a udhAran that You cxall Your ardent
devotees as udhAran (vaLLal- benefactor) and consider
those devotees as Your indweller (in Your heart).
udhArassarva yEvaithE. As if They have granted You
something you praise them. When someone takes some
wealth from us and them multiply that and they gift to
others, we can also call them as vaLLal. But doe He
get something from them? He calls them as udhArars. He
is such Greatest vaLLal. His kalyANa guNa is that.
Sarvaphala pradhan is He. They actually receive Your
blessings and You consider them as if They grant You
[Yes, They Grant You the names- mOksha pradhan;
ParamOdhAran; Sarva sEshI- Master of all].
