Vyakhyana Saram:
Azhvar says that, if we think of His acts that He performs for the
sake of His devotees, then we cannot stop until we perform services
at His divine feet. When asked if there is anything that we will
suffer from, he replies to his mind that any troubles that come
our way will suffer the same fate as the crocodile that attacked
Gajendra.
