This is about an incident when perumAL, propelled by his dependence on pirAtti on account of his affection towards her, allowed to be bound, leading to their enjoyment. Thus, unlike the other identifications [which hanuman has already revealed and would be revealing later], this is an identification which is very secretive. Only perumAL and pirAtti are privy to this.

With such a garland, pirAtti tied perumAL\u2019s hands and perumAL too tied pirAtti\u2019s hands.
