Dearest Srivaishnavas,

AzhwAr enjoys nAga sayanam in next PAsuram:

vidaththavaayo raayiram
  iraayiramkaN venthazhal,
vidaththuvIzhvi laathapOkam
  mikkasOthi thokkaseer,
thoduththumElvi thaanamaaya
  peLavan^eera raavaNai
paduththapaayal paLLikoLva
  then_kolvElai vaNNANE!     (18)
   
oh Ocean coloured dark complexioned Lord! Above your
reclining position, from the thousand mouths and two
thousand eyes, flakes of fire emanating from them;
ensuring the Body not to fall; shedding enormous
luster from its gem stones on the hoods; Such great
Divine ThirumEbi of the AdhiSEshan- soft, tender as
well as form to support Your divine Dhivya mangaLa
vigraham to recline and have Yoga nithrA on the milky
ocean [paaRkadal] . Why are You having Your Yoga
nithrA? (paLLikoLvadhu en kol?)

Due to the request and prayer of Devas- in oder to
alleviate their soorows and remove their dangers, You
gracefully appear in the middle of Milky coean on
AdhisEshan and the way that AdhiSeshan with its 1000
heads and 2000 eyes with flakes of fire from them;
when You feel for the jeevas? sorrows and samsaaric
afflictions of Your devotees, You feel miserable and
bad for Them and in order to cool down, You choose to
recline on Milky Ocean on the bed of Adhi sEshan. How
can You bear with those fiery exhaling and fumes from
those and eyes and mouths! Is the milky ocean a rest
for the fiery exhale or is the fumes or flakes of fire
heatingup the chill ocean to comfort Your ThirumEni?
[I do not know] You are Sarva Shakthan; You give
abhaya pradhAnam to everyone! Where is the danger for
You? Why is AdhisEshan keeping such a close watch on
You and protect You with such fiery eyes! What is his
concern for You (pongum parivu)! is he keeping You
safe from the asuRAs and enemies!  
And why should he be worried! Why are You posing (*or
pretending) to be sleeping( uRanguvaan pOlE
vizhitthirundhu)? 

White ocean on which whitish Body of AdhisEshan [and
fiery eyes and mouths-] on which the datk blue hued
divine Body of Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. What a
colour combination and Beauty! 

Veezhivilaadha bhOgam- ceaseless bhagavadh anubhavam
is the right meaning. However due to the great
description of AdhisEshan?s body, Sri UttamUr Swamy
gives a different commentary to match the same as
above.

Mikka jyOthi- the gems shining luster from the heads
and hence great lustrous heads of AdhisEshan.
(iruLiriya chuddar maNigaL imaikkum neRRi- by
KulasekarAzhwAr). The gems appear to have been stuck
together like garland of gems on the 1000 heads- and
hence ?thokkaseer? [well laid beautiful row of gem
stones]

vidhAnamAya- also as umbrella (senRaal kudaiyaam;
irundhaal singAsanamAm etc..] 

vElai vaNNanE!- Ocean ? You are possessed with such
Gambeeryam like the deep blue dark ocean! You are
karuNaik kadal- (ocean of compassion); Not only You
have the same colour like the ocean; also the swabAvam
as the ocean. How can we comprehend Your mind and
glories!

Thirumazhisai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
dAsan
