31. kudai mudhalAnadhu AnEnO ananthAzhvAn pOlE
AnanthazhvAn is the name for Adisesha on whom the Lord rests. He is always with the Lord; even when He descends to this world, Adisesha accompanies Him in some form and performs services to Him. Since he is in eternal service and is the personification of service, he is called Adisesha.
Poygai Azhvar sings in his Mudhal Thiruvandhadhi about him thus:
senRAL kudaiyAm irundhAl singAsanamAm ninRAl maravadiyAm nILkadluL enRum puNaiyAm maNi viLakkAm pUmpattAm pulgum aNaiyAm thirumARku aravu
Alavandar too describes him in a similar fashion in his Stotra Ratnam.
Azhvar says Thiruvananthazhvan is an umbrella when He walks; he is a seat when He sits; he is the footwear when He stands up; he is the float when He is in the milky ocean; he is a lamp; he is a cloth and he is a pillow - thus he is everything when it comes to rendering service.
Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Have I rendered any kind of service to Him like Adisesha does in various forms?"
