SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

AzhwAr enjoyed the Lion and the Brahmachari form; Now
He immerses himself in the Lord's avathAram as human.
 
Padaiththa paar idanthu aLandha adhu uNdu umizhnthu
powvaneer 
Padaithu adaitthu adhiR kidanthu mun kadaintha
peRRiyOy
midaiththa maali maalimaan vilangu kaalaNnoor pugap 
padaikkalam viduththa palpadai thadakkai maayanE!  
(28)

Oh Ashcharya purushaa! The most wonderful Lord! The
One who holds divine wonderful weapons! You created
the Universe and during Varaaha avathAran brough back
the bhUmi from troubled waters; You measured the
Universe; You retained the same in your stomach
[during dissolution- mahA praLayam]; You spit them
back [after the praLayam] for reenactment of your
leelA vibhUthi; Youc erated the oceans; and You built
the bridge across the same [during Rama avathAram];
Before that You reclined on the [milky] ocean as well
as churned during KoormaavathAram! You sent those
strong weapons and killed Maali raakshasan, and Hema
maali (golden deer- maareecha mayaa mrugam) and made
them enter the gates of Yama. 

A wonderful PAsuram enlisting all glorious actions of
the Lord establishing his peerless Supremacy. None
else can and has done such grandest deeds and will be
able to do. 

Maali maali maan vilangu- Maali means midukku-
majestic; So the Vilangu is a common name; maan- deer
is the specific animal. Thus maareechan is referred
to. 

Ravana¡¦s mother- Kaikasi; and her father was Sumaali,
His borther Maaali, elder brother Maalyavaan; they did
penance and obtained powers to occupy the lankA city
(which was built by ViswakarmA) and conquered Devas
and enjoyed the place for ages. When devas prayed to
the Lord, He heeded to their request and promised to
them to fight against these asurAs. This Maalyavaan,
Maali and Sumaali were conquered by Vishnu in the
battle and during the battle Maali's head was cut by
the divine ChakrA while Maalyavaan and Sumaali went
running away and hid themselves in LankA city. Hence
entering the gate of Yama does not apply to Sumaali
and Maalyavaan and hence only Maali can be inferred in
this verse. Maali maali- twice may mean- Maali who
has maalai (garland); Or all are adjectives of
Maareechan as described above. Hence Raaama avathAram
is mentioned, it is more appropriate to refer to
maareechan. Or it may mean that the One who killed
Maali and the Maareechan are one and the same i.e Lord
Vishnu. [This is mentioned in utthara kaandam- 8th
sargam]. 

Sumaali is mentioned in 107th verse of Thirucchandha
viruttham and AzhwAr may not have brought him here
also. There is no special word as Sumaali. 

Maalyavaan- He actually advised Raavanan against the
battle and hence he pleases the Lord. Hence vilangu
kaalan- means: The Kaalan- Yama goes farther as far
as Maalyavaan is concerned (because he advises good
things to RaavaNan). So, Yama goes away from
Maalyavaan. 

Maareechan word is swarasm- most appropriate. Once
these Yama and other Devas were conquered by these
Maareechan and now these asurAs are made to enter the
Yama's gate and hence that pleases Yama- can also be
inferred- Sri UttamUr Swamy enjoys.
