Oh Paaduka! You are a form taken by Adisesha. He himself wished to
enjoy your form and melody simultaneously. He was not prepared to
bear the time-lag between seeing and hearing, even if it would be
trivially small. So he acquired, by Your grace the unusual faculty of
hearing through the eyes themselves. His hundreds of eyes become,
themselves, so many ears as well. He thus became previleged to see
and hear You synchronously.
(1. The Indian traditional belief is that the serpent has no separate
hearing organ except the eyes. It is so named too.
2. Even Nityasooris cherish to worship and hear Azhvar.)
Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):
SlOkam 856
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan focuses on
AadhisEsha enjoying the sound and sight of the PaadhukAs with
His two thousand eyes. It is generaly believed that eyes of the snake
acts as an organ of sight as well as hearing. Swamy Desikan states
that AadhisEshan is intently experiencing the pleasures of seeing
the beautiful PaadhukAs in movement with His eyes. Swamy
Desikan observes: " Oh PaadhukE ! AadhisEsha can not wait
even for one second to enjoy both your beautiful form and
the delectable sounds created by You as You move around through
the jingling of Your various gems. He wants to take in both Your
beauty and Your sunAdhams and uses His two thousand eyes to
accomplish that goal. As a result, He becomes known for His
sense of hearing ".
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: AadhisEshan has great joy in seeing
Your beautiful body and Your naadham as You move. He wanted to
enjoy them simultaneously. For ordinary snakes, it is hard to
concentrate on both the seeing and hearing at the same time.
Therefore, AadhisEshan converted His eyes to be both the seeing organ
and the hearing organ so that He can have both the cognitive
functions enmeshed in His eyes.
3) Oh PaadhukE ( Padhaavani) ! AadhisEshan(Pannaga Pathi: ) has
uncontrollable eagerness in enjoying Your auspciious sounds and Your
roopam ( Tava naadhE taTA tava SamnivEsE asahyam nirvEsana ). He
wanted to do away with any time delay between the seeing and the
hearing faculites (kramam apAchikeershu:). He empowered
His hundreds of eyes to seve as the sight and hearign organs ( Yai:
lOchana sathairEva ThvAm abhiveekshathE thairEva sruthimAn
Bhabhoova )...(V.S ).
