kaRavA maDa nAgu

The first two lines of the pAsuram reads as follows :
 
kARavA mada nAgu than kanRu vuLLinAR pole ,
maRavAdhu adiyEan vunnaiyEa azhaikkinREAn" 7-1-1;
 
A superficial study of the pAsuram will give the meaning
"The Lord being likened to a unmlked cow thinking of the calf --the first line.
The second line says --The calf without forgetting calls for the Lord.
 
"Amudhanar tried to interpret the line "kaRavA mada
nAgu than kanRu uLLinAr pOl"
as
"karavA mada nAgu,
than kanRinai uLLinAr pOl"
- that is, like a cow
which has not been milked yet thinking of its calf.
However, this did not go with the next line where
Azhvar refers to himself (the calf) calling out to the
Lord (the cow).

When Parasara Bhattar was presented with this pasuram,
he explained it as follows: "
kaRavA mada nAgu than
kanRu, (than thAyai) uLLinAR pOl".
That is, the calf
(Azhvar) of the cow which has not been milked yet,
thinking of its mother (the Lord)."
 
The fact that AmudhanAr was having problems in interpretation and Sri Bhattar's vyAkyanic prowess came to fore, are recorded without inhibition by Sri PeriyavAchAn PiLLai in The Periya Thirumozhi vyAkyAnam.
