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. 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr proceeds to plead the Lord of
TirumalA for His unbounded limitless mercy that pours
out on His own -out of His Greatest compassion on us.
Let us enjoy this nice ten on 
AzhwAr's plea.

uNdaayuRimEl nNaRuneyyamudhaaga,
koNdaaykuRalaay nNilameeradiyaalE,
viNthOysigarath thiruvEngkadammEya,
aNdaa! adiyEnukku aruLpuriyaayE.    1.10.4

Oh Lord! The One - Cowherd Boy- who ate the butter
that is kept in the hanging rope ("uRi') as the sweet
nectar! The One who appeared as Vaamanan and measured
the whole Universe in two steps of His "little" 
Feet! The Lord of ThiruvEmkatam! dEvaadhi dEvA! Please
show mercy on me! 

In the last verse, AzhwAr had mentioned about His
swallowing the Universe [maNN]? now he now remembers
His eating veNNai [butter] and ghee [ney] as Kutti
KaNNan. But AzhwAr mentions about eating Ghee in the
first line? and then the Earth in the next line.

SrI Periya Vacchaan PiLLai comments that Kutti KaNNan
enjoys swallowing butter and Ghee since there is more
karasparsam of Asrithars [His devotees namely Gopas
and Gopikas]. And Ghee involves more involvement [than
that of Butter] and thereby more karasparsam. 

maNN uNdaan is split into maNN [earth] measuring and
Ghee unDaan [eating ghee]. Also one may interpret that
He had swallowed the maNN [sand] while Kutti KaNNan
and Yasodha saw the seven worlds in His mouth..
vaiyamellaam kaNdaaL PiLLai vaayuLae... 

AzhwAr addresses the Lord as aNdaaa? The One who is
the nirvaahakan [director] of all Universes [andaa]   


14 lokaas constitute one andaa and aavarana is an area
which is ten times an anda. The soul after having
crossed brahmaandam crosses the 17 aavaranas. These
avaranas are like roof over each andaa.
