SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

For humans, what they need- I have granted Devas the
power to grant what humans need by praying to them.
They are empowered by me to grant what humans need.
Though I give, they are blessed by me to grant the
same to humans. Do not think that they are also
beggars like you human beings. Have respect for them,
pray to them to get for what you need.

AzhwAr says: You- The One- who grants such Devas such
powers to give to humans who pray to them; are the
same One who gives to Arjunan and other four paaNdava
kings straight and hence You do not stop only with
Devas. You have given even humans what materials they
need. Hence I will hold on to You alone:

paarmikuththa paaramunno
zhichchuvaana ruchchanan,
thErmikuththu maayamaakki
ninRukonRu venRisEr,
maaratharkku vaan_koduththu
vaiyamaivar paalathaam,
seermikuththa ninnalaalor
theyvamn^aanma thippanE? (89)

In order to destroy the unparalleled heavy burden that
the earth was subjected to, You showed Yourself with
such a sowlabhyam as Charioteer for Arjunan and
performed even much grander duties that the
Charioteer; Utilizing Your Divine ChakrA and Sankhu,
and where not to be used, You stood in support of
Arjunan in front of him; destroyed the enemies, and
those in the likes of Bhishma, Drona and others who
had seen only victory in their life and granted them
heaven; Thus You enabled Pancha Paandava kings win and
rule; Thus this world was blessed to enrich itself
with the witnessing of such wonderful kalyANa guNAs of
Yours- and leaving You- such Greatest and Grandest
One- will I ever bow down and pay respect to anyone
else [as God]? 

You performed great wonders in the battlefield. He was
Your Rathi; and You were Sarathi (Driver). However,
when he was caught with sudden sprouted emotions and
with snEha, kaaruNya, vipariTha jnAnam as to how he
can kill his cousins and uncle; acharya et al, You
took the role of Acharyan and taught him the rich
esseence of Sakala saasthras and Vedas in the form of
725 verses as GitA Saasthram. 

You hid the Sun with You Divine ChakrA for letteing
Jayathrathan come out before dark and let Arjunan kill
him in the battle field; Swirling the ChakrA and
running towards Bheeshma breaking the Promises made to
Bheeshma that He [KaNNan] would not take the weapon];
Letting Yudhishtra utter asvatthAmA hatha: kunjara:
and when he said Kunjara: KaNNan blew His Conch Shell
so that none would hear Kunjara: and dhrOnAchArya can
be killed. 
Thus He performed many wonders in the battle field. 

They- Bheeshma, and other warriors had always won in
the battle fields. Even now by sending them to Heavan
through this SathuApyam of doing their duty and having
veera maraNam in the battle field dying as martyrs,
they also win in this battle as well. 

Not even the tip of the needle can be granted to
Pancha paandavas- said DuryOdhanan to KaNNan when he
came in as their dhUthan [messenger]. Now KaNNan
enabled Pandavas destroy such cruel enemies i.e.
Kauravas and let the whole kingdom be granted to them.
He is such a guNavaan. 

Thus, in the above three verses- AzhwAr rejected the
prayer to Devathaantharams (other demi gods) saying
all of them are not capable of granting the fruits by
themselves. They can grant only the little that they
can- due to the power entrusted to them by the Lord
Sriman Narayanan. Thus AzhwAr declares the ananya
gathithvam- having no other refuge for him except
Sriman Narayanan.
