SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest srivaishnavas, He reclined on PaaRkadal (Milky coean) being praised by the Devas. AzhwAr now wonders how were You able to apprear as lowly being as Tortoise!- in this verse. Koosam onRum inRi maasuNam paduththu vElaineer pEsaninRa dEvar vandhu paada mun kidanthathum paasam ninRa neerilvaazhum aamaiyaana kEsavaa, Esa anRu nee kidanthavaaRu kooRu thERavE. 20. Oh KoormAvathAra Adhi Devaa! Kesavaa! The chief of BrahmA and Rudran! You appeared as Tortoise that lives in waters! You ¡V without any fear- recelined on the great AdhisEshan as Bed on the milky coean- praised by all Devas assembled along with Chathurmukha BrahmA and Rudran [who all are talked about by people as ¡§gods¡¨ ] addressing You as Supreme Lord. Not just that, after that without any inhibition, without feeling ashamed or shy- without any airs about the lowly nature of the avathAram- being looked down upon for having taken as KoormAvathAram- You lied down. Please tell me to make me understand why and how. Koosam onRum inRi- Without any fear-that the magic asurAs would arrive and put him in danger when He is having His Yoga nithrA on PaaRkadal (Milky ocean); Even when He reclines on the fiery eyed- fiery mouthed AdhisEshan Huge snake; even when He kept His eyes closed for ages after ages; even when the soft tender fingers of Periya PiraaTTi Mahalakshmi touches the lotus feet of the Lord (no koosam); even when he thinks that inspite of the aprAkrutha Paramapadham, why do I still reside here in prAkrutha milky ocean- no such koosam;- there van be many such statements. pEsa ninRa- Devas, Rudran are all being talked about and mentioned by people as Gods; and they themselves praise Him at PaaRkadal as Supreme Lord! (Kesavaa) [similar to Pesa ninRa sivanukkum piraman thanakkum- Thiruvaaymozhi] vElai neer- the ocean roars and the roar and praise rhyme and are equal. [The ocean also praises so loudly] paasa ninRa- paasam ninRa- He considers the waters where He appeared as Kooramam more dear than the milky ocean. Such a sowlabhyan is He. After being praised by everyone at paaRkadal, the Lord appeared as Tortoise being looked down upon during KoormAvathAram for having taken a lowly being form ¡ yEsa kidanathathu; [just opposite of what they were doing in Milky ocean where they were praising the Lord] Without losing Your Parathvam, You were getting praised by Devas at PaaRkadal. Here in deep waters lying down as Koormam holding the huge mountain on Your back; with such a sowseelyam and sowlabhyam- being looked down upon by Devas and asuRAs as a mere being. Wherever the mountain went, the Tortoise went there to hold; what a sowlseelyam to have undergone such deeds for the sake of Asrithars. Even though You did all work of holding the tip of the mountain to prevent it from tilting; pulling and churning the rope; as well as holding the mountain on His back; Paramsulabhan are You. Only You need to tell Me to make me understand the way You appeared as Koormam and why. Is it because You were pelasec to perform any action for the sake of Asrithars?
