Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
kudi kudi … – brahmA et al, as said in “umayAsArdham ISAna:” (Siva along with pArvathi), along with their wives and children, gathered and praised his qualities saying “When we are in danger, is there any refuge other than your highness?”; emperumAn showering his mercy upon those (dhEvathAs) who are totally surrendered at his divine feet, he is mercifully resting in the milk ocean, having it as his divine abode, which is nearby to hear their cries.
AzhiyAn – Alternatively, the divine abode where the one who is having divine chakra which is the tool for protection, is remaining fixed.
kadi … – As the very fragrant lotus flower blossoms under the sugarcane and paddy crops, those crops sway due to that; the swan which lives on that flower along with its spouse, appears like a prince along with his consort being seated on a tall throne, being fanned from the sides.
