SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,
Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of
ignorance(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the
Kali dhOsham. Thirumangai mannan enjoys the Lord of
ThirunaRaiyoor Divya Desam and blissfully reminisces
the good deeds that he had done to the world.

1. The Emperumaan, who appeared as the brahmachari boy
with pooNool, tied with the deer skin (which had
incidentally hidden the PiraaTTi residing in His
Chest), and begged the measures of earth from Bhali
and measured the whole Universe with His steps; the
PerumAn, who shows Himself gracefully at
ThiruvEmkatam, - That SarvEshawaran, - I went in
search of Him and have seen Him at ThirunaRaiyoor.

When amrutham was obtained as a result of the Lord's
assistance as KUrma mUrthy , Indra and the DevAs got
the upper hand in their battle with the asurAs and the
kings of the asurA clan like MahA Bali were killed .
The guru of asurAs ,SukrAchAryA with his power of
penance brought back to life , MahA Bali and his
retinue throught the performance of a MahA Yajnam
known as Visvajith . 

MahA Bali and his associates got restored to their
lives and 
went after IndrA and the DevAs and drove IndrA from
his  kingdom . The mother of IndrA , Athithi Devi
appealed to her lord , Kasyapa PrajApathi and asked
him for guidance on redressing the sufferings of their
son , IndrA . Kasyapa PrajApathi advised his wife that
the performance of the PayOvratha hOmam consisting of
the aahuthi of rice cooked in milk would please Sriman
NaarAyaNA would lead to the birth of a son , who would
help IndrA regain his kingdom . Athithi Devi 
performed with austerity the recommended hOmam and had
 the good fortune of having Sriman NaarAyaNA Himself
as her son ( Vaamana MUrthy ) . She appealed to her
new ?born dwarf-staured son to help His brother ,
IndrA and restore his kingdom .

MahA Bali was restored to life not only because of the
manthra balam of SukrAchAryA , but also because of the
vow given by the Lord during NarasimhAvathAram to
PrahlAdhan that He will not kill any of his
descendants . MahA Bali was the grandson of PrahlAdhA
. Hence ,  Sriman NaarAyaNA brought him back to life
and to enact his avathAra kaaryam as Vaamana
-TrivikramA .
