Doubt: thiruppavai song seventeen

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

The generosity of Nandagopan implied in the terms "amparamE thannIrE corE

aRam ceyyum" relates to how Nandagopa threw open his granery and water

storages to feed and quench the thirst of his subjects when a famine stalked

the land.

 

Since it is Nandagopa who showcased "Emperumaan" to the world, he is

characterized as "Emperumaan Nandagopaa" (father of the Universal father?)

THis is what I have heard during Kalakshepams of Acharyas.
