SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

AzhwAr enjoys the AdhisEsha paryankam in a different
manner and wonders and asks in this verse. 

puLLAthaaki vEdha naangum Othinaay adhanRiyum,
puLLinvaay piLanthu putkodip pidiththa pinnarum,
puLLaiy oorthi aathal adhenkol min koL nEmiyaay,
puLLinmey pagai kadalkidaththal kaadhaliththathE.   
(19)

Oh Lord with Divine lustrous ChakrA! You appeared as
that Hamsa pakshi (bird) and taught four Vedas (to
Chathurmukha BrahmA). Also, Though You tore the beak
of the bird asurA into two pieces (in Your
KrishnAvathAram when the asurA appeared as a bird with
A plot to kill You), You still keep the bird as Your
flag (Garuda is referred to here); Further, You have
the bird as Your vehicle. When such is Your connection
and love for the bird clan, why are You behaving in a
contradicting way? [what is that?- asks the Lord] You
have adopted the enemy of the bird as Your bed i.e
AdhisEshan and You love to recline on that bed. That
is why- I have asked. 

You have not differentiated the bird and Yourself and
You appeared as the very Bird to teach Vedas. You are
Veda mUrthy; and You considered the VedaswarUpi-
GarudA as Your flag as well as the vehicle. Though You
like to be bird and had the bird as vehicle, still You
killed a bird by tearing its beak. In spite of that
stray incident, You love birds (jatAyu- is one
example). However why have You considered their enemy
as Your bed?

You may say: AdhisEshan is not the real enemy [mey
pagai] to GarudA. This is just an anubhavam to enjoy
(rasOkthi). 

When You appeared as Hamsa rUpam ? taught Vedas,
killed the bird asurA; went around the worlds on
GarudA as GarudArUdan and saved masses, why are You
taking rest on AdhisEshan? Is there any tired and
weariness for You? You are Sarvashakthan. You need to
be on Your toes on Garuda and save jeevathmas from
asatthus. You should appear with your strength,
veerya shakthi thEjas and protect good; destroy evil;
what is danger in ocean for you? Who is there to enjoy
You at milky ocean on AdhisEshan ecept the AdhisEshan
and PiraaTTi? What is the use for us with Your
reclining on paarkadal? 

Also mey pagai- mey- udal- body ? cover; the enemity
appears as cover; it appears so; inside- none. There
is absolutely no enemity between two NithyasUris;
there can not be.     

Gomukan asurA snatched away the Vedas from BrahmA and
Lord appeared as Mathsyam to retrieve them; then He
taught the Vedas as Hamsa to remove the asAram and
grant only the saaram (*essence) and taught with dwani
beautifully and mellifluously. (periyAzhwAr
Thirumozhi- 1.9.10- mentions also this incident)
