Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

In Thirunedunthandagam verse 13, Thirumangai Azhvar says 
"kalleduththuk kal mAri kAththAy". This is a description
of Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhana mountain. Lord 
Krishna told the yadavas to stop their annual prayer to
Indra and instead pray to the Govardhana mountain, as it
was the mountain that was protecting them with its rain,
streams and forests. Angered at this, Indra made it rain
stones. Lord Krishna then picked up the mountain to 
protect the yadavas and their cattle.

Bhattar when explaining this verse remarked "Because
Indra made it rain stones, He picked up a larger stone
(mountain) and protected the yadavas. Had Indra made
it rain with water, then He would have picked up the
ocean to protect them".
