Vyakhyana Saram:
The devas bearing the garlands made of flowers from the Karpaga (Kalpa) tree are reciting Veda mantras and are urgently waiting for Your orders. You who do not distinguish between devas, asuras, men, animals, etc and accept everyone's service should wake up and accept our service.

In the previous pasuram, Azhvar indicated that the bees in the fields had woken up ("vayaluL irindhana surumbinam"). In this pasuram, he is stating that the birds in the gardens, which wake up only after the morning has well arrived, have woken up. The difference between the two is the same as that between those in His service and the samsaris who are trapped in their senses. The former are like the bees that wake up as soon as it dawns; the latter are like the birds that enjoy the flowery gardens and wake up well into the morning.
