Here Kulasekara Azhwar prays to Lord Narayana saying that during my last days when I am in my death bed when phlegm, wind and bile are blocking my throat how will I ever remember you. Hence let my mind that is like an elegant swan enter the cage of your lotus feet right now, please grant me moksham. This sloka explains our helplessness as very ordinary humans. 

The above prayer is very similar to periyazhwar pasuram

'Eippu ennai vandhu naliyum pOdhu 
angu Ethum naan unnai ninaikka mAtten
appodhaikku ippodhe solli vaithen
arangatharavanai palliyAne"

Where in periazhwar prays to Lord Ranganatha, that when old age and poor health takes over me I will not be able to remember you. Therefore I surrender to you right now, please grant me moksha when I am destined have to leave this earth.
