Simple translation
dhuryOdhana, who is having a snake in his lengthy flag, in his assembly, fearlessly offered a false seat to krishNa; to handle that, krishNa assumed a huge form which pierced the [top of the] oval shaped universe and subdued the huge directions in it; such emperumAn is mercifully present in thirukkaNNangudi where the water flowing down from sahya mountain, with waves is bringing best gemstones, emerald collections, diamonds, pearls spit out by bamboo and pushing the same in every fertile-field and mounting them there.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
aravu nIL kodiyOn … – dhuryOdhana is known as sarpa-dhvajan (one who has snake in his flag). In his assembly, he placed a false seat without fearlessly thinking “We are going to destroy the one who is root of the entire universe”. Considering that as the reason, krishNa grew his form to be so huge that it pierced the top of the oval shaped universe and subdued all the directions in him.
varai … – The water with waves bring the gemstones, emerald collections, diamonds, pearls spat out by bamboo, since they were not contained within the water, and made mountains in each of the fertile-fields.
