The One - who removes the obstacles of anger, et al from

devotees and increases their desire and love for Him;

who killed Kamsan, unable to bear the sufferings of His parents

imprisoned by Kamsan;

who is like " KaRpaka " tree, as Parama Udhaarakan;

who ate the worlds to protect during PraLayam;

who conquered and cut the shoulders of bAnAsuran who had come to

fight against KaNNan and made Sivan lose heavily (when he cameto

support the asuran

angrily );

who has Garuda as His Vaahanam (vehicle); - I have seen Him

at Srirangam.

(translation by Sri Madhavakannan)
