There is an interesting similarity and contrast

between the two female forms referred here.

 

They are similar becasue both female forms are

out of character. The demon with hatred in her

heart is the very anthithesis of motherhood.

On the other hand, for our Lord, who is the only

"male", female form is totally out of character.

Periyavaachaan piLLai says, "purushOththamanaana

thanakku sEraadha vadivaikkondu".

 

The contrast: The demon took the female form

to feed poison to the divine baby. The Lord's

female form is to rescue Amritham for the benefit

of Devaas.
