Vyakhyana Saram:
Does one have to struggle with such analysis to determine that He is the supreme and source of all? In this pasuram, Azhvar states that would not His acts such as churning the milky ocean, measuring the worlds, building a bridge across the ocean, breaking that bridge, resting on the ocean, creating the world, lifting it, swallowing it and bringing it back forth, show that He is the supreme.
