Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Now the meaning of "mAm" is explained.

 

The Lord says 'mAm' refering to Himself - who is focused

on protecting everyone; who can be made to do pleasing

things for His devotees; who looks for approval by His

devotees; who takes His devotees sins as pleasing acts

(so they don't have to be afraid); who is the refuge for

His devotees; who never gives up His devotees ("ennadiyAr

adhu seyyAr") even if Periya Piratti, who normally

mediates for them, were to point to their sins and ask

that they be rejected ("thAmaraiyALAgilum sithag-

uraikkumEl") and stands alone and protects them.

 

Since He, who has taken avatar in this world and is

present in a form that is visible to everyone (vibhava),

refered to Himself as 'mAm', it rejects His para and

vyUha forms which are not visible being remote in space

and His being inside devatas such as agni and indra in

antharyAmi form and being worshipped by those using

other means. It also shows the difference of this form

from them.
