sAkShi(star-aSwini) = svayam sAkShAtkarOti iti; The one who witnesses.

pASuram : mUrAn tiruvandAdi - 15 ( pEyALwAr tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam )

samanvayam with pASuram : He is lying on the Adi SESha in the kShIra sAgaram to 
see and bless all of these worlds. Thus He observes and protects me (and 
everyone). But, He has also made my heart as His bed and is lying on it just to 
observe me in extreme close up and protect me with extreme care.

pASuram : 
paNinduyarnda pAva | ppaDutiraikaL mOda
With the sounds made by the rise and fall of the deep ocean waves.

paNinda paNamaNi kaLAlE aNindu
On the coiled and nicely decorated serpent

angu anandanaNai kiDakkumammAn
The Lord who reclines on the AdiSESha there (in the kShIra sAgaram)

aDiyEn manandan aNai | kiDakkum vandu
Comes and sleeps in the heart of this dAsa!! (what a wonder!!!)

Detailed Interpretation : 
1) The Lord who reclines on the nicely decorated AdiSESha amidst the sounds of 
waves : Why is He reclining on the AdiSESha in the kShira sAgaram?. It is to 
witness and protect all these worlds. Not only does He take care of the nityAs 
and the muktAs, but He protects everyone/everything (including me) in all these 
worlds. This is possible only for Him as He is the sAkShi - There is nothing 
beyond His vision.

2) He has come and made the heart of this dAsa as His bed!! - Just to observe 
me in extreme close up and thus give full protection to me, He has made my 
heart as His abode. He loves me to the core. So, He is taking care of me both 
from inside and outside. He is watching me from the kShIra sAgaram and has made 
my heart too as His abode.
Like a mother or a father enjoy watching their child play He is watching me and 
protecting me. Like a lover boy who watches His beloved wife working in the 
kitchen from His bed, my Lord is lovingly watching me from His bed and is 
taking care of me.
We do not call anyone who keeps watching us as sAkShi. The sun, the moon, the 
stars, the sky, the trees etc are also the ones who see continuously. But the 
one who conscientiously watches us and shields us with unbounded and 
unconditional Love; who has nothing beyond His vision; who showers His 
blessings and gives joy to us thorugh His loving glances - That Lord is the one 
who is to be really called - sAkShi

Jai Sriman Narayana
