Dear swAmi, 
The vyAkyAnam for the pAsuram 
"kariya mA-mugil padalangaL kidandhu, avai muzhangida,
kaLiRu enRu periya mAsuNam variaiyena peyar tharu,
piridhi..." 1-2-10;

is 
'..malaikkuch siRappuch sollumavargaL, malaip-pAmbugaL yAnaiyai vizhungum, 
ennak kadavargaL, AgaiyAl kariya mAmugil padalangaL kidandhu muzhangiRavaRRai 
periya-mAsuNamAnadhu , Anaiyai buddhi paNNi AmishArthamAga malai pEArndhAr 
pOle, kAl vAngi vandhu .....AgaiyiREA periya mAsuNamenRadhu-Anaiyai 
vizhungumpadiyAyiRRu idhinudaiya perumai iruppadhu'.

A crude translation :

" Those who mention the speciality of mountains, say that pythons are capable 
of swallowing even elephants. Therefore, the blank clouds and the sounds 
emanating from these are mistook this for elephants and muster themselves as 
hill to devour... That is why these are termed as
'periya-mAsuNam'. The nature and speciality of these pythons lies in swallowing 
the elephants'

Normally, when clouds and lightning occur, the serpants take refuge in their 
holes. However, these pythons dare out in numbers as if to devour the 
elephants. That is the paradox.

  Dear SrI Padmanabhan :
   
  May I request you to give the English Meaning of 
  Swamy  PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai's vyAkyAnam quotations for the benefit of
  those who do not read Tamil and for those  who speak Tamil but 
  yet can not comprehend  the complex meanings of the brilliant
  commentary . Thanks .
