Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

innaiyenRu sollalaava
  thillaiyaathum ittitaip
pinnaikELva Nnenparunpi
  NakkuNarntha peRRiyOr
pinnaiyaaya kOlamOdu
  pErumooru maathiyum,
ninnaiyaar ninaikkavallar
  nIrmaiyaaln^i NnaikkilE!    (13)

You are of this nature and type or that sort- none can
tell precisely. For those vedhaanthic scholars, who
are of sattva guNA (generally), understand and tell
that You are the Lord of Nappinnai PiraaTTi. Then,
comprehending Your most wonderful subAsraya, dhivya
mangaLa vigrahams in the divya desams (holy shrines)
and your most sweetest divine names, You being the
Primordial Chief and the cause of all these worlds and
beings- who is there? none can attempt to do at all.
If at all someone is able to think of in such a line,
it is only due to Your divine grace. (ninaikkil
neermaiyaalE). 

You possess anantha kalyANa guNAs [most auspicious
attributes] and are never touched by imperfections;
you are free from evils like sin, old-age, death,
sorrow, hunger and thirst. He is therefore akhila-hEya
pratyaneekan and anantha kalyANa guNaarnavan. Your
swabhAva, swarUpams are divine and none is equipped
with them. none at all. You are unparalleled and
peerless. There is none equal to You ? why to talk of
superior one? In spite of such greatest virtues, You
still take births like ordinary mortals, none can say
that You are of this type- seeing overall scheme of
things and your most wonderful deeds. Also, about such
greatest You- there are some who says, You do not even
EXIST. 

Knowing all that, scholars of Vedas and ithihaasas
have understood Your neermai- sowseelyam) easy
accessibility) and declared that You are none other
than the Lord of Nappinnai PiraaTTi. You are the
cowherd darling Boy ? Kutti KaNNan- who got Himself
tied down by cowherd woman with a small rope around
Your waist and You stood scarred with quivering lips
and tears rolling down your chubby cheeks.

Then also, knowing Your divine body, Your divine
names, your places of residence namely divya desams,
with divine suddha sattva thirumeni ? who can
comprehend You fully? Whenever and wherever You
appear, You never ever leave Your nature of Lordship
and powers- that people do not perceive and understand
generally. If someone is able to think of You with
complete unflinching faith on You, it is due to Your
parama krupai. 

The third line can also relate to vyUhaavathArams in
addition to Sarva avathAra vishayams. 

Let us enjoy the archA avathArams: ArchA are deities
made out of Gold, stone etc.. in the divya desams
installed therein for worship according to Agamams
mentioned in Saasthras (like Paancharaathra and
VaikhAnasam) to maintain and establish sanctity. After
the deities are sanctified, Lord enters into those
deities with His aprAkritha ThirumEni which is exactly
equal to the size and shape of the deity (and in no
way different from paramapadha nAthan in terms of
powers and qualities).
