?Azhveer! Then do you know fully about emperuman?s thirumeni?? Azhvar answers, 
?Oh! No there is absolutely no limit to emperuman?s thirumeni and hence cannot 
be understood fully by anyone?

 

(vugappuruvam thAnE)   He alone has the thirumeni that is enjoyed by everyone.

?samasthakalyANaguNathmakOsow

 svasakthilEsOthdrutha bhoothasarga: I

 echchAgruheethAbhimathOrudEhas

 samsAdhithA sEsha jagaththithOsow II? (V.P. 6-5-84)

[This lord has all the kalyana gunas naturally; He upholds all the bhoothas 
with just a small part of his power; By his own wish he takes many forms 
lovable to him; He does good for the whole world]

As per the above verse of parasara maharishi in Vishnu puranam emperuman has a 
divine form (thirumeni) liked by everyone.

Not only is his thirumeni liked by others he himself likes his thirumeni more 
than his svaroopam.

?shAnthAnandha mahA vibhoothi paramam yath brahma roopam hare:

 moortham brahma thathOpi that priyatharam roopam yat atyatbhutham II?

[The faultless, ecstasy filled, that which possess big vibhuthis and that which 
cannot be paralleled, that which is big and makes other things big and that 
which is indicated with the brahma sabdham that svaroopa of hari, is there any 
thing that is more lovable to that bhagavan, that which could be see with our 
eyes, and that is told by the brahma sabdham, the most amazing that roopam] 
says aalavandaar.

(vugappuruvam thAnE) He is the ultimate result that the devotees should reach 
(PrApyam) so they all love him.  Since the devotees love that form emperuman 
also cherishes the same.  It makes us think if both his svaroopam and vigraham 
are the same, subtle and intricate.  

 

Next azhvar says the reason why everyone likes him.

 

(olivuruvan thAnE) ?param jOthi:?, ?nArAyana parO jOthi:? ?Adhitya varNam?, 
?vidyutha: purushAt? declare the Vedas that he is jOthivuruvan

?tEjasAm sAsimoorjitham? [he is a big heap of light]

Nammazhvar says, ?paranjOthi nee paramAi ninnagazhindhu pin maRROr paranjOthi 
enmaiyin padiyOli nigazhkindra paranjOdhi?

As per the verse, ?na tattra sooryO bhAthi? he is capable of making the light 
of sun and moon false.  In the paramapadam he makes the light of all the nithya 
sooris like a small blinking light and he himself remains as a big flashlight.

 

(magappuruvan thAnE) He has a very big physical structure.

?samasthA: sakthayaschaithA nrupa yathra pradhistithA: I

 tat vishvaroopavairoopyam roopamanyat harEr mahat: II [6-7-70]

[Oh! King, all these powers are present in that form collectively, that very 
form of hari is the greatest among all the forms in this world and is 
different] declares the Vishnu puranam.  Here greatness is due to ? gunas like 
AkArthvam, Ashcharyakarathvam etc.

 

The word ?mahat? in Sanskrit is changed to ?magappu? in tamil or otherwise 
?mahatbhootham? has been changed to ?magappu? in tamil. ?roopam yat atbhutham? 
says aalavandaar.

 

Is that emperuman paramapadanAthan (that form talked about in the first half)? 
No.  He had that form when he came to this world taking avathara as a human 
?AtmAnam mAnusham manyE? further shows azhvar

 

(puruvam ondrukkondru OsanaiyAn veezha) kumbakarna, who had a distance of about 
one Yojana (a measure) in-between his two eyebrows fell down like a mountain 
crashing down.

 

(miga andrikkoNdu eithAN) Leaving his usual calm nature ?kshamayA prithivi 
sama:? emperuman made himself filled with anger ?kOpamAhArayat theevram? and 
left the arrow vigorously.  He forgot his nature of working for others and 
considering it to be his own job he was filled with anger.

 

(kanaiyAl eithAn) He could have killed him just by his sankalpam but then he 
felt that it was not enough for the apacharam done towards his devotees so he 
came in person to the war and left the arrows ?vennagaram sErAvagaiyE silai 
pidiththAn? (siriya thirumadal) it was just enough for them to see him with his 
bow and arrow they need not go to any other naraka any more. 

 

Since kumbakarna was so big, did emperuman take extra efforts to kill him?

 

(oru kanaiyAl eithAn) he killed him with just a single arrow without much 
effort.

 

(madhikkil) While trying to understand this ramapiran he is found to be 
vugappuruvan, olivuruvan and magappuruvan.  ?madhikkil? indicates that no one 
can actually calculate the greatness of emperuman?s thirumeni.

 

(eithAnavan vugappuram thAnE) His thirumeni is loved by both the rishis who are 
filled with knowledge and even by the knowledge less trees

 

(eithAnavan olivuruvan thAnE) Sri chakravarthi thirumangan due to his glowing 
brightness lighted the whole dandakAranya vanam ?sOpayan dandakAraNyam 
deepthEna svEna tEjasA?

 

(eithAnavan magappuravan thane) ?pumsAm drushtuchittApahAriNam? he is capable 
of attracting even the eyes and mind of males with his divine beauty.
