SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Though You did all work still You let all Devas claim
that they only churned the ocean and got the nectar.
AzhwAr now enjoys his Sowseelyam of Lord Rama during
His avathAram. 
 
arankanE! Tharanga neer kanga anRu kunRusoozh
marankaL thEya maanilam kulunga maasuNam sulaay
nerunga nee kadainthapOdhu ninRa soorar enseythaar,
kurankai aaLugandha enthai! kooRu thERa vERidhE.   
(21)

[AzhwAr addressed the Lord as Kesaavaa! ¡V The chief
of BrahmA and Rudraa! He is somewhere in Paramapdham
or farthest PaaRkadal. He is not going to listen to
us; nor will be able to listen what He answers; hence
let us address the same Lord who is here right front
of us- Lord Sri RanganAthan and calls lovingly
AranganE..]

Oh Lord Sri RanganAthA! My Father! The one who
joyously had the moneys as His army! When devas prayed
to You to help them, You used the huge Vaasuki snake
as the churning rope making the oceanic waters go
topsy turvy and get stirred heavily; the trees above
the manthara mountain fall to destruction; the earth
gets shaken; You alone did all such grandest deeds to
churn the ocean and all those celestial bodies ¡V
Devaas- stood there looking and wondered with awe; and
what did they do- Tell me elaborately. This is the
grandest vilakshaNam of sowlseelyam in You [in letting
them celebrate the victory as if they themselves
achieved it].

Oh Rangaa! You are the One who rode on GarudA and
brought the huge manthara mountain to place the same
on the ocean; You are the One who tied the huge
poisonous Vaasuki snake around the mountain. You
granted strength to mountain to float on the ocean and
the snake to hold the mountain tight; Can those devas
be able to churn holding that snake around that huge
mountain! Never. Only You could do. When the mountain
started shaking and wobbling, You took KoormAavathAram
and held the mountain on Your back taking such a huge
Tortoise form. You held the top of mountain so that it
does not get tilted; You only churned all and brought
the nectar out and distributed to them.  But who gets
the name? It Is Dedavs and asuRAs who curned is the
history. They get the fame. Why? It is all due to your
unbounded grace and nothing else. 

Rama avathAram is a grand example. You destroyed 14000
raakshasas within no time and won effortlessly. Where
were the mokneys that have now come to help you? You
wanted to glorify them and graciously accepted them to
be Your army. ¡§anguLyagrENa dhaanya¡K [when Sugreevan
objected to vibhEsshana sarangathi and said then he
would not be able to help Rama] You mentioned! hEy!
Monkey chief! None is required. None at all. I alone
with my finger nails can destroy anything and
everything (remembering his previous avatHAram-
Narasimhan); You can even go back to KishkinthA; Or if
you wish go and join the opposite camp and I can
destroy even Your grup along eith the opposite camp.

Further You blessed them to serve You as the army
during the battle; though You were a king; the Supreme
Lord; greatest warrior; still You accepted them
inspite of them being monkeys. What a sowlseelyam.
eLimai! Neermai. You accept anyone if he comes to You.
Please tell me specially about this grandest guNA of
Yours! ¡V says AzhwAr
