A. Meaning from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

Next, godai appeals to the ocean: "Oh Ocean! You

gave Him a place to lie down. But He ended up

churning you with a mountain, penetrated your body,

and extracted the nectar from within you. So also, He

entered my body, and He is extracting my life out of

me now. Since you have undergone the same kinds of

sufferings that I am going through, won't you go and

inform tiru anantAzhvAn who is His sacred bed, about

all the misery I am going through (so that he can in

turn intercede on my behalf?)"

 

B. Additional thoughts from SrI PVP:

 

kaDalE kaDalE: The kaDal (ocean) is not hearing when

she calls once because of the alai muzhakkam (sound of

the waves), so she is calling twice.

 

unnaik kaDaindu kalakkuRuttu: You helped Him by

serving as His bed; He reciprocated by churning you

inside out without even having a consideration for you

who served as His bed. He is one who has demonstrated

that He is capable of drilling a rock at the throat of

one who gives Him a place to lie down, and draining

out all their power and resources from them. You are

suffering the same plight I am going through; so, you

should help me.

 

uDaluL pugundu ninRu URal aRuttavaRkku: He first

embraced you as His bed, and then under the pretext of

helping the dEvas, He drained you of all your

resources.

 

ennaiyum uDaLuL pugundu ninRu URal aRukkinRa: Just as

He did to you, He embraced me first, and then drained

me of all that I possessed.

 

mAyaRkku: Even though He thus mistreated me, He is the

Wonder that continues to draw me to Him

uninterruptedly and incessantly ("koDiya en ne'njam

avan enRE kiDakkum" - tiruvAimozhi 5-3-5).

 

en naDalaigaL ellAm: "All the sufferings that I am

going through, which are similar to the ones you are

going through (like going and coming aimlessly and

ceaselessly all the time, not sleeping all through

night and day, calling continuously, and not giving up

no matter how long it takes)".

 

nAgaNaikkE SenRu uRaittiyE: I know it is a difficult

feat to approach Him, but if you go up to tiru

anantAzhvAn who is our friend, he will make a

recommendation on our behalf. So, our task will

become easier. ( "nAgaNai miSai nampirAn SaraNe SaraN

namakku" - tiruvAimozhi 5-10-11 - nammAzhvAr had

resorted to tiru anantAzhvAn for purushakAratvam as

well).

 

 

C. Additional thoughts from SrI PBA:

 

ANDAL is aware of the close relation between emperumAn

and the Ocean:

 

"mAlum karunkaDalE! en nORRAi! vaiyagam uNDu Alin

ilait tuyinRa AzhiyAn - kOlak karumEnic cengaNmAl kaN

paDaiyuL enRum, tirumEni nI tINDap peRRu" - mudal tiru

antAdi.

 

nAgaNaikkE SenRu uRaitti: It looks as though tiru

anantAzhvAn is the only one who is qualified to do

kaimkaryam to Him at all times and in all forms -

"SenrAl kuDaiyAm irundAl Si'ngAsanamAm". Go and let

him know that we should also be given a chance to take

part in His kaimkaryam. He is not the the only one

who should be allowed to do kaimkaryam for emperumAn.

 

D. Additional thoughts from SrI UV:

 

SrI UV points out that gOdai who had been calling

emperumAn by respectful names [[ like vEda mudalvar,

vAi azhagar, kumaranAr, vEnkaTa nAdar, maNavALar,

azhagappirAnAr ]], is now calling Him in singular

"aRuttavaRkku", "mAyaRkku".

 

Godai tried treating all the beings which were causing

misery to her with all due respect, because she

considered them to be all part of Him and having His

amSam in them. That did not bear any fruit for her.

Next, she tries to look for something that has gone

through an experience similar to her, and is also

close to Him. She thinks of the ocean as the best

representative that fits this criterion, to help her

who is drowned in the ocean of sorrow. So she now

calls out to the Ocean. She calls 'kaDalE' twice,

just to make sure that the ocean realizes that she is

calling out seeking its help, and not with any other

motive.

 

kaDalE kaDalE: "Oh ocean! I know you helped Lord

rAma and kRshNa when they called out to you for help

[[ you helped rAman to build a dam across you, and

gave a place for residence in dvAraka when kaNNan

decided to establish His city down below your water

]]. Now I need your help.

 

nAgaNaikkE SenRu uRaittiyE: Go, tell Him what my

sufferings are. He is lying on you with AdiSeshan as

His bed. Don't worry about how to wake Him up, or how

to know when He is awake etc. AdiSeshan is very close

to you and also to Him; so, all you do is tell

AdiSeshan, and he can take care of the rest, since he

knows when emperumAn is asleep or awake. Tell

AdiSeshan the following words: "Just as He who churned

me inside out is always with me, lying on me,

embracing me and giving me Anandam, He who churned

gOdai's heart should embrace her and give her the same

anubhavam of closeness and Anandam also".
