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.

Let us enjoy Periya Thirumozhi 7.3.5 on
ThiruvEnkatam..

  aNnRi yeNnmaNnam chinNdhaichey yaadhE 7.3.5

The One who appears then and there, whenever the cruel
hell like sorrows come to torment me, and consoles me
Don?t fear? (anjEl- maa sucha;); My Swami; the One,
who has the red lotus Feet; the adorning jewel, in the
group of Nithya sooris; the Lion of ThiruvEmkatam; the
Lord who tore the horse (kesi asuran); the cowherd Boy
KaNNan, caught for eating stolen butter, who stooped
Himself as simple (sowlabhyam) that He was tied to
mortar, with quivering lips, and tears welled in the
eyes; (yetthiRam uralinOdu iNaindhiRandhu yEngiya
yeLivE!); He is the Honey; the Sweet Milk; - But for
that sweetest Lord- my mind will not think of anyone
else.

Would the Parabrahmam consent to being tied up to a
grindstone like any mortal mischief-monger? It must
indeed have been an ironical sight, the Liberator of
all from eternal bondage, Himself being immobilized
and imprisoned, that too by an ordinary cowherd lady!
"etthiram uralinOdu iNaindu irundu Engiya eLivE"
marvels Sri Nammazhwar, and wonders again at the
incredible Soulabhyam of the Lord getting beaten up by
Gopis for stealing butter-"Ayar kouzhundAi avarAl
pudayuNNum en mAya pirAn". AzhwAr swooned for six
months wondering at His sowlabhyam. 

Kesi- [Sri Satakopan Swamin adds:]An asura having the
form of a horse ,by the name Kesi ,who was sent by
KamsA to kill Baala GopAlan (KrishNA) at Gokulam .

kEsi was an asuran, who took the form of a gigantic
and
powerful horse galloping with lightning speed . He
arirved 
at Gokulam sending out an ear shattering roar and 
waving his mane to chase the clouds . He had the blue
hue 
according to Srimadh Bhagavatham ( Canto 10: Chapter
37).
He frightened the residents of Gokulam with his
attahAsam .

KrishNA appeared before him and invited him to attack
. Kesi charged at KrishNA with a wide open mouth and
used his hind legs to kick the Lord .Our Lord stepped
aside and got hold of the tail of Kesi and whirled him
round and round and threw him with great contempt over
hundreds of Yards .Kesi was knocked unconscious .When
he regained consciousness, he charged once again at
the Lord , who was waiting for him . This time , our
Lord put His left hand inside the mouth of the Horse
demon and shattered all his teeth that tried to bite
Him . After  that , Our Lord let His arm swell up
inside the mouth of the Horse demon .That arm grew
immensely and suffocated the asuran . The Lord thus
destroyed Kesi and got the name of Kesavan ( kesi
hanthAran )and the DevAs  showered flowers over Him in
appreciation of His valorous act . The name Kesavan is
also intrepreted differently ( as the One with
supremely beautiful curly , black hair /Kesam ). 

there is also anothor interpretation of word kesavan
as "kesava: klesa naasan: meaning "the one who clears
the sufferings of a person"
