Since several adjectives have been used for the elephant (rutting, strong) the meaning implied is that kaNNan casually destroyed that elephant which had strength by its nature complimented further by the strength it acquired since it was in rut. The word <em>kadam<\/em> refers to rutting. <em>kadam kalandha<\/em> refers to the elephant which had the rutting water all over its body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Or poygai vAy vidam kalandha pambin mEl nadam payinRa nAdhanE<\/strong> \u2013 <em>Or poygai vAy<\/em> \u2013 SrI vishNu purANam describes the effect of the poison emitted by the snake kALiyan, in SlOkam 5-7-4 &#8220;<em>vishAgninA prasarathA dhagdhAthIrmahIruham<\/em> l <em>vAthAhathAmbu vikshEpasparSa dhagdha vihangamam<\/em> ll&#8221; (The trees on the banks of the river [inside which the snake kALiyan had taken residence) went up in flame due to the poisonous fire spreading everywhere; birds got burnt due to the moisture from the air around falling on them. (kaNNan saw that deep portion of the river where kALiyan had taken residence)). The deep portion of the river was unique because of the grave danger that it posed. Even the pond in which crocodile caught the leg of elephant gajEndhran was nothing compared to this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vidam kalanda pAmbin mEl nadam payinRa nAdhanE<\/strong> \u2013 kALiyan, the snake, was poisonous to such an extent that it appeared that poison was present all over his body [instead of only the sac where it is normally present]. You [kaNNan] stood on the hoods of that snake and danced on it like an expert in dancing, changing the positions of your divine feet on its hoods. Through that, you controlled him and drove him away from river yamunA such that everyone could resume using that river once again, without fear. Oh one who manifested your lordship through this act! Was this not mentioned in SrI vishNU purANam 5-7-82 too! &#8220;<em>krishNam aklishta karmANam anyE vismithachEthasa<\/em>: l <em>thushtuvur mudhithA gOpA dhrushtvA SivajalAm nadhIm<\/em> ll&#8221; (Cowherds became happy on seeing this, and with their hearts in amazement, seeing that river yamunA had become purified, praised kaNNan who casually carried out this act)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, through the first part of the pAsuram, the way emperumAn controlled the cruel people was mentioned.
