SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all, 

After mudhal aazhwArs, next we have begun to enjoy
Thirumazhisai AzhwAr?s verses on thiruvEnkatam.
Today?s verse is the 44th verse in Naanmukhan
ThiruvanthAthi.. 

koNdu kudangaalmEl vaiththa kuzhaviyaay,
thaNda arakkan thalaithaLaal- paNdeNNi,
pOmkumaran niRkum pozhilvENG kadamalaikkE,
pOmkumara ruLLIr purindhu.        44

Oh Young People! Proceed to ThiruvEmkatam desirously,
where the Ever Youthful Lord Srinivasan is standing
most gracefully- the One (as a baby sitting on his
lap) who had hinted to BrahmA, that he should not
grant boon to punishable rAvaNan, by drawing ten lines
on the ground with his toe finger, erased them and
disappeared. DhaNda arakkan thalai thaaLaal- paNdu
eNNip pOm.  

SrI Sadagopan Swami of New York as usual elaborated on
the above: few years ago: 

According to purANams, Brahma devan was approached by
RaavaNAn. He hid his natural form with ten heads and
appeared before BrahmA as some one else to seek the
boon of indestructibility at any one's hands. At that
time, our Lord appeared before BrahmA as a beautiful
toddler. 
Brahmaa was charmed by the beautiful child and lifted
it up and placed it lovingly on his lap.

What did this MaayAvi child do? It used its fingers to
count the ten fingers on its two feet to indicate on
the sly  to Brahma that the one seeking the boons is
none other than the ten headed Ravana in disguise. 
Sriman NaarAyaNA wanted to curb the runaway impulse of
BrahmA from giving too much away and strengthening the
hands of RavaaNA, who deserved punishment instead of
rewards. RavanA ended up with a boon that offered
protection from every one and every thing except a
human , since he did not think too much about a human
being as an adversary in battle.He asked for
protection against devAs , animals, weapons etc. Our
Lord forewarned thus Brahma as a playful infant to
protect His avathAra Kaaryam. That is what
Thirumazhisai is alluding to.

AzhwAr refers to ThiruvEnkatamudiaan as Kumaran?
eternally Youthful Lord. He is yuvaa: kumara: - says
Sruthi. He is the only Youthful One eternally Young;
[Kumaran] and the One who is Supreme Lord
[Parathvam].. ? says Thirumazhisai Piraan.

He also appeals to the youngsters who are now
physically able, string to climb the hill and pay
their obeisance to ThiruvEnkatamudiayaan. When old,
you will not be able to take the strain.
