SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Sri Uttamoor swami says in his commentary that after
the deep anubhavam of Periya Thirumozhi, and enjoying
the depths of Ashtakshara mantra upadesam from the
very Lord Himself, the Lord wanted some more from the
AzhwAr. Hence He did not show Himself fully to AzhwAr.


In a mood of longing and languishing, viraha thaapam,
AzhwAr declares his eternal sEsha, dAsathvam to the
Lord and his servitude to the Lotus feet of Lord at
all times and under all circumstances. He bursts out
with wonderful divine rhying 20 verses of
ThirukuuthAndakam and 30 verses of TNT. (which we will
enjoy subsequently). 

Thus the verses in shorter length ( aRuseerkkazhi
nedilAsiriya viruttham ) became ThirukkuRunthANDakam
(TKT)and the one with eight fold symmetry (yeNN Seer)
came to be known as ThirunedumthANDakam(TNT). Latter
is an elaboration of the last two paasurams of
ThirukkuRunthANDakam. [From Sri Satakopan Swami
article] 

AzhwAr addresses Gokula Krishna and similar to
Thondaradippodi AzhwAr?s Thirumaalai, this is also
primarily sung on Lord Sri Ranganathan- says Sri
Uttamoor Swami.  

nithiyinaip pavaLath thooNai

nidhiyinai- Like the golden treasure- hiraNya nidhi
(as uttered in Upanishads referring to Paramathma; 
pavaLatthooNai- red coral pillar like Lord; 
neRimaiyaal- [without Him] can not exist and sustain 
ninaiya ? thinking of Him (thus)
vallaar- those capable of 
gathiyinai- everything [He grants them all with right
jnAnam, bhakti etc]
kanjan maaLa kaNdu- paving the way for Kamsan to get
killed; 
mun aNdam- the Whole Universe [that belonged to Him
even originally earlier as well]
aaLum mathiyinai- capable of ruling [the leela
vibhuthi ? the Universe]
maalai- The Lord who is always in love with His
devotees 
en manatthu [hence in my mind]
vandha (OR) uvandha ? entered (or) rejoice entering
into
vidhiyinai- Lord (My destination;)
vaazhtthi vaNangi- offered prayers and prostrated 
kaNdu- saw Him in my mind (sakshAthkAram)
koNda- considered Him as my Swami, Master always
thoNdanaen- this eternal servant of His (I)
vidugilEn E- would never ever leave Him at all. 

The Golden treasure is uttered also in Upanishad
referring to the Lord as HiraNya Nidhi. The Pillar is
made up of coral pearl and the colur is due to Sri
Mahalakshmi being with Him. He is the Pillar and hence
He is Adharam; He holds eeveryone and everything as
the Swami. Those who reside in the House with Him as
the Pillar, would reside comfortably and peacefully.
He grants the devotees all (as even the celestial
bodies see Him being so dear to those who have
unflinching devotion and faith in Him). neRimai- also
means- those who abide and are in accordance with
saasthras; Thus, those who act and perform as per his
command to do bhakti yogam or Prapatti and thereby
enabling Him to grant moksham leaving Him no room for
any partiality or bias. Thus the devotees can not even
live without thinking of Him at all. Here Sishta
paripalanam and hence follwed by Dhushta sikshaNam
(namely Kamsan killing is referred to). 

Thus killing Him is not to get the kingdom; It has
been originally belonging to Him anyway; (mun aNdam)
Alum mathiyinai- is the interpretation is to Varaha
Sarama Slokam, where he says "Aham Smaraami ". Mathi
stands for mind or mental disposition. His mind set is
to think of his Bhaktha at the time, when the bhaktha
lies down on his death bed like a stone or wood during
the last moments of his life and is unable to think of
the Lord.  He not only thinks of His Bhaktha at that
time, but leads him to Vaikutam by hand. kaNdu koNdEn-
I have been able to cross the bondage of samsara. I
would never ever leave the Lord, whom I have
discovered as the resident of my heart and to whom I
have praised and have prostrated, offered deep
devotion. ?Thondanehn Viduhileneh". I, your  servant
will not let go of your holy feet. Mahaviswasam of the
Azhwaar is abundantly clear here.
