One who is known as purusha and purushOththama, assumed a feminine form which does not match him, and cheated saying “this sweet nectar should not be given to demoniac persons”.<\/p>\n piRai …<\/em> – When the young prahlAdha was tormented by harsh hiraNya, emperumAn having crescent moon like teeth,<\/p>\n adal ariyAy<\/em> – being narasimha who would expand for battle.<\/p>\n peruginAnai<\/em> – Had emperumAn not appeared when prahlAdha vowed, he would have considered to have shrunk and become incapable and would have lost his saviourship.<\/p>\n thaN Arndha …<\/em> – When father et al ceased to be saviour and set to be tormentor, emperumAn thought “we should not leave our devotees at the disposal of such enemies” and mercifully reclined. emperumAn who is the real father mercifully reclined thinking “I sent some as protective fathers who will be caring and will do favours; but when such persons become tormentors, I cannot remain absent there”. One who mercifully reclined on thiruvananthAzhwAn in thirumeyyam which is having rejuvenating, flowing water.<\/p>\n eNNAnai<\/em> – AzhwAr is speaking about emperumAn mercifully thinking about protecting the world, while reclining on that mattress; alternative explanation – one who is constantly thought as “emperumAn who is constantly cared by nithyasUris has come here and mercifully reclined! What a simplicity!”<\/p>\n eN iRandha pugazhAnai<\/em> – AzhwAr is saying that there is no limit to his greatness due to constantly thinking about the protection of the world. Alternative explanation – for those who meditate upon his qualities, there are abundant qualities in him which cannot be fully thought about.<\/p>\n ilangu …<\/em> – His physical beauty is such that, even without his qualities, he cannot be given up. Being very radiant, for blossomed nature etc, lotus can be cited as an example. But lotus will be round in shape. Unlike that, his eyes will be very wide. Alternative explanation – there is unlimited enjoyability in his eyes.<\/p>\n kaN Ara<\/em> – Just as being filled with badabAmukhAgni (a type of fire), the eyes are withered and longing to see him; to quench the thirst of such eyes, I got to see him. Attaining a distinguished form and seeing him after reaching the special abode of paramapadham, is similar to one person having hunger and another person getting food; I got to see with the eyes that longed to see him.
