However, thinking that she was his mother yaSOdhAp pirAtti, krishNa consumed her milk. He was such an innocent child. If there is no shortcoming in his childishness, how did she perish? His nature is such that if anyone approaches him with an unfavourable mind, that person will perish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai, in his svApadhESam, says that AzhwAr is warning us not to suffer like pUthanA who had seen a fault in krishNa\u2019s auspicious qualities and came with the intention of killing him. He further says that there is no boundary to his childishness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>mAyach chagadum marudhum iRuththavan<\/strong> \u2013 subsequent to that, while he was reclining, a monster had pervaded in a dishonest manner, a wheel which was near krishNa. [Due to delay in arrival of milk] krishNa kicked his feet. The wheel got caught between his kicking feet and got snapped. When krishNa was crawling, there were twin arjuna trees in his path, intending to harm him. krishNa pushed the trees with his divine thighs, snapping them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>kAyA malar vaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 his divine beauty is such that his qualities of AthmA become superfluous. With his beautiful, just then blossomed, purple water-lily like form, he would make the favourable entities to give in writing that they are his servitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>kaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 even if his form had not been beautiful, his easy-to-approach nature was such that none could go away from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>karum kuzhal<\/strong> \u2013 since AzhwAr is unable to give an equivalent for the divine locks, he merely calls the locks as dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>thUydhAga vandhu kuzhal vArAy<\/strong> \u2013 come and comb his divine locks well. Combing the divine locks well is to separate the locks, while combing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that there is no fault in krishNa\u2019s divine locks. It is only we who, in our ignorance, have thought that he was responsible for our ills and transposed that as a fault on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>thUmaNi vaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 one, who has the complexion of a faultless bluish gemstone.
