A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan:

emperumAn effortlessly plucked the tusks of the elephant, kuvalayApIdam, that

was extremely maddened, had very strong legs and fat trunk. He uprooted the

fully blossomed kurunda tree. He tore apart the mouth of bakAsuran who came in

the form of a crane. He killed seven bulls. That emperumAn, my svAmi, is

standing in tirumaNikkUDam.

 

In the second part of the pAsuram, AzhvAr enjoys the natural fertility of the

place. Female monkeys eat the mangoes. In order to get a different taste, they

try the bananas; when they do, the bees that are on the bananas scatter away in

different directions. tirumaDikkUDam is such a beautiful place.

 

B. SrI PVP:

tAngarum sinattu vantAL taDakkaimmA maruppu vAngi – He pulled apart the

enornmous tusk off the mad, strong-legged and thick-trunked elephant,

mAnkani nugarnda mandi vandu vaNDu iriya vAzhai

tInkani nugaru – In this place, female monkeys who have eaten the mangoes are

trying to eat the sweet bananas and driving away all the bees that have come

there to drink the honey.

 

Just as emperumAn is enjoying His different pastimes in defeating the foes, the

monkeys are also trying to get the different tastes in different fruits.

 

C. SrI UV:

Just as righteousness was in abundance in this place, animals also got to enjoy

a variety of fruits.

 

D. SrI PBA:

pUngurundu osittu – kaNNan destroyed the kurunda tree, that was hoarding an

asuran.

 

erudu aDartta – Besides defeating the seven bulls for the sake of nappinnaip

pirATTi, kaNNan also killed another asuran - arishTan, who, ordered by kamsan,

came in the form of a bull, to kill kaNNan. arishTan was trying to cause fear

among the AyppADi cows and aiming his horns to strike kaNNan's stomach.

kaNNapirAn took those horns in His hands and made the bull immovable; He then

kicked the bull's stomach, twisted its neck and killed the bull by beating it

with one of its own horn.
