Meaning:
ARREn enRu - Saying that he cannot stand against aduththa kadum pagainjaRku - his natural enemy Garuda vidaththu aravai - the poisonous snake (Sumukha) Odi - ran sUzhndha - and surrounded paduththa perum pAzhi - the bed on which He lies; mA mEni mAyavanukku - He who has the divine and special body kai koduththa - gave (tha snake) for protection vallALan - (back) to the strong Garuda; allAdhum - other than to Him to whom else AL AvarO - will one be enslaved?
Vyakhyana Saram:
Did He only rescue the world from Mahabali? Azhvar says that He
is the smart one that protected the snake Sumukha who sought His
protection by giving him for protection back to Garuda, his
natural enemy - thereby keeping both His words "na kshamAmi"
(that He will not tolerate the enemies of His devotees) and "na
tyajeyam" (that He will not give up those who surrender to Him).
