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.
