In this verse Kulasekara Azhwar prays to Sriman Narayana who is the killer of the asuras Madhu Kaitapare to accept him as the lowliest of his (Sriman Narayana’s/lokanatha) servants, servants, servants, servant. This equates to the verses from Swami Desikan’s Padhuka Sahasram

Yah Sapta parva vyavadhaana thungaam

Seshatva kaashthama bhajan murareh

and NammAzhwar’s verses in Thiruvaimozhi –

“Adiyaaradiyaar, thammadiyaaradiyaar, thamakku adiyaradiyaar thaam,  adiyOngale”

I am a devotee of the lotus feet of Lord Krishna and you receive the wrath of valor of the Sudarshana Chakra of Lord Krishna.

Instead he asks people to drink the nectar of Krishna nama and get rid of the cycle of samsara sagaram
