SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah:
 
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 
 
Let us continue to enjoy PeiyAzhwAr?s wonderful
anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse on
ThiruvEnkatam is the 68th verse. 
 
paarttha kaduvan sunain^eer nizaRkaNdu,
pErtthOr kaduvanenap pErnthu, - kaarttha
kaLanganikkuk kain^eettum vEngadamE, mEnaaL
viLanganikkuk kanReRinthaan veRpu.            68
 
Yet another poetic skill of AzhwAr! 
The strong [masculine] male monkey, [sitting on a
branch of a tress in the ThiruvEnkatam mountain] looks
at its reflection in the pond below, mistakenly thinks
that it is another monkey staring at it; It gets
scared and becomes afraid of the reflection [meaning:
by itself, our hero is strong and majestic] and
attempts to leave the place to avoid any potential
trouble from the [imaginary[ enemy. 

While leaving, its flickering mind gets tempted to
taste the fruit in the nearby branch [not in the tree
where it is sitting] but from the branch of the
reflected tree and extends its palm [as begging] to
the water monkey (its own reflection) ?Please give me
a fruit from that branch?. 

In such a cool beautiful place of ThiruvEnkata
mountain, resides our Lord who had thrown [during
KrishNAvathAram] the demonic calf against the
viLampazha tree to kill both vathsAura and the other
asurA who had hidden in the tree; both intending to
kill Kutti KaNNan.  
 
The male money even though its gets sscared looking at
its own reflection and chooses to go to avoid trouble,
gets tempted with flickering mind, trying to enjoy
even at the time of trouble. [exactly similar to human
minds ? trying to enjoy the dripping honey though
caught between the devil and the deep sea in both
sides.. though caught in samsaaric afflictions, and
being aware of the fleeting lives, still running amuck
after sensual pleasures- no way different from
monkeys]. 

AndAL also refers to this vathAsura incident in her
Thiruppavai 24th verse- anRu ivvulagam.. 

kanRu kuNilaa yeRindhaay kazhal pORRi. 
 
kanRu           the asurA who came as a calf 
kunilaa         you used as a stick (against another asurA)
eRindhaay       threw
kazhal          [with the great foot work]
pORRi           we sing "All Hail, all glory!"

kaNru kiNilaa eRindhaay kazhal pORRi.  When vasthAsura
appeared as calf and came near You with an attempt to
kill you, You noticed that asurA by its different eyes
(thiruttu muzhi and not loving affectionate eyes like
other calves) and took the calf by its tail and
swirled the calf hitting against the another asurA
(who came in as viLAm pazha tree) so that your friends
could eat the fruits and enjoy as well.. your
marvellous deeds can not be described in words at all.
May Your such grandest deeds and Your lotus feet
remain for millions of years after years with us When
the viLAm pazham is aimed at with the calf, the legs 
bend and the ankle [kazhal] is visible prominently.
The strength to throw the calf arises from the
thiruvadi [lotus feet] and hence this is praised. The
gopikAs also take the opportunity to praise the short
thiruvadi(kunjitha paadham) in contrast to the Feet
that grew to measure the Universe.
