  The above pasuram is the anubhavam of Nammazhwar in thiruvaymozhi. Azhwar 
calls perumal as AarAvayitrAan, who ate all His creation at the time of 
pralayA. Though Perumal was big enough to eat all His creation, He was kind 
enough to get into Azhwar?s nenjam. Azhwar was smart enough to hold Him inside.

  ThAyAr:             Kamalavalli
  VimAnam:         Indra vimAnam
  Pratyaksham:    Upamanyu, ParAsarar
   
  AarAvyitrAn is in sayana thirukkOlam in TheruppErnagar. The DD has got a 
mention in Brahmanda puranam. This DD is also known as KOviladi (South of 
Srirangam). Phalasavanam is the other name. There was a king called Upamanyu, 
who performed AnnadhAnam for 1 lakh Andanars (Brahmins) towards some good 
cause. During that time, Perumal wanted to bless him. Hence, He took the form 
of an old Brahmin and participated in the annadhAnam. After having eaten 
everything that was prepared, Perumal asked if there was anymore left. This is 
one of the reasons why this Perumal is called as AarAavayitrAn. The king was 
astounded and rightly predicted that the Brahmin should be someone who was 
divine. He immediately, fell at the brahmin?s feet and told him that he could 
order for the preparation of anymore eatable that the Brahmin wanted. Perumal 
immediately blessed the king and ordered to the king to prepare some appam (a 
sweet) in the evening. Following this, He went into the room nearby,
 and took the sayanakkOlam. Since then, appam is offered to Perumal everyday in 
the evening.
