SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesika namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Even if one has numerous huge sins committed, be bold
and fearless, daring to contemplate on Him and that
would please Him and He will get us rid of those
paapams- says AzhwAr.

salankalantha seNYchadaikka
  RuththakaNdan veNdalaip
pulan_kalanka vuNdapaatha
  kaththaNnvan_thu yar_keda,
alankalmaarvil vaasan^eer_ko
  duththavanna duththaseer,
nalankoLmaalai naNNumvaNNa
  meNNuvaazhi nenchamE!     (113)

Oh mind! The ganges mixed matted red locks, blue
necked One; who went begging with the white skull in
his palm; the mahaa paadhaki (great sinner) Rudran and
his deep sorrow and curse was removed by The Lord
Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan; wearing Vanamala on His
divine chest by sprinkling the most fragrant water [to
fill that skull]. Such most auspicious ? who is ever
Joyful- most compassionate Lord. Think of reaching Him
always and live (merrily).

Whatever kind of paapams; whatever magnitude; the most
compassionate and most merciful Lord- removes it; Not
only does He remove others' sorrows; He is ever
joyful; ParamAnandhan. He is so loving and caring for
others; Think of Him always- AzhwAr says: What means
here by
thinking of Him is: [as elaborated by Sri UttamUr
Swamy]: We do not have to do any effort; His dayA
alone is enough; OR His dayA is not required; my
effort alone is adequate to seek His grace; DO NOT
think of that; and think that it is the Lord who
removes our sorrows due to
His dayA and grants us salvation; But He would not do
on His own lest He would be considered partial (when
He is actually not so); He expects a little excuse of
rushing and turning towards Him; seeking refuge at His
Lotus feet. Thus vyAjAnushtAnam needs to be performed
(an effort as an excuse to seek His grace is a must)-
should be contemplated.

Salankalandha ? The Ganges were entrapped in his
matted locks and thus he got himself purified with the
name Sivan (managaLam- Auspiciousness) by Sri
Mahavishnu.
theerThEna mUrdhni viDhruthEna Siva: SivO(S)bhUth: 

kaRuttha kaNdan- when the milky ocean was churned,
there was poison that came out and Rudran sought
permission from Sriman Narayanan to consume that as
kaimkaryam towards the churning process and Sriman
Narayanan blessed him by letting the poison stay out
at the throat
level (making its colour bluish). Thus, he has been
blessed to be powerful by the Lord.

Rudran had plucked the head of his father BrahmA with
ahankaaram and thus the skull got stuck to his palm
(as a curse). He got paranoid and all senses got weak
with fear; the flesh, the skin dried up and the white
skull remained on his palm. The curse would be removed
if the skull is filled and hence he went begging for
the skull to be filled up. He went everywhere in vain
and ultimately he reached Kadal vaNNan Sriman
Narayanan and cried for His grace and saving him. Our
most merciful Lord immediately extracted some water
using His nails from His Divine Chest and sprinkled on
his skull that filled the whole skull and removed
Rudran's sin. In 42nd verse- it is mentioned that Lord
filled the skull with the blood (blood is also watery
and hence
is acceptable). This is also mentioned in Harivamsam ?
thathasthEna swakam paaSvam naKhAgrEna vidhAritham. 

PeriyAzhwAr also refers this in his verse- 
kaNdakadalum malaiyum_ulakEzhum
muNdaththukkaaRRaa mukilvaNNaavO! anRu
iNdaichchadaimudi eesan_irakkoLLa
maNdain^iRaiththaanE! achchOvachchO
                maarvilmaRuvanE! achchOvachchO.

After wandering everywhere and seeing the oceans and
mountains and the seven worlds ? there was nothing
that would fill the skull that got stuck to my palm,
Oh cloud coloured Lord! My Master! I am in trouble and
approached Rudran with the skull stuck in His palm and
begged you. You filled the same (by scratching the
divine chest with your finger nail and) with the blood
from your Body to remove his (Rudran?s) sin. The skull
exploded to pieces. Oh SarvEshwara! Lord! Come and hug
me. One who has SrI vathsa maRu (thick dense curl of
hair) on your chest! Come and hug. [from PeriyAzhwAr
Thirumozhi 1.9.9]
