SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

AzhwAr elaborates the valor of Rama with his divine
Bow in another way in this verse.       

kurakkiNnap padaikodu kuraikadalin meedhupOy
arakkar angu aranga veMcharam thurantha Aadhi nee
irakkamaN koduththavaRku irakkam onRum inRiyE
parakkavaiththu aLandhukoNda paRpapaadhan allaiyE?    
(32)

A wonderful anubhavam of AzhwAr! You the great
valorous One! ? who sent cruel sharp arrows
effortlessly to the complete destruction of raakshasas
(arakkar- aranga- destruction of arakkar) in lankA;
after building a bridge made of rocks on the ocean in
order to reach lankA ? with the help of the army of
monkeys! [And Before that], When you asked for three
measures of earth [maN irakka- beg for earth] by Your
feet [during Your vaamanaavathAram], Bhali immediately
without any hesiatation pledged to give (offered to
give) and You with absolutely no mercy at all (irakkam
onRum inRi) ? not even a semblance of it- measured the
entire Universe leaving no portion untouched by Your
Feet and took the whole Universe ? Aren?t You Padma
pAdhan! The One with the red lotus feet? [You are]. 

When Devas surrendered at Your feet to save them from
Raavana and others, You appeared as Rama and gathered
the army of monkeys (out of Your sowlabhyam- though
You can singled handedly handle) and leaving no one
behind, took them all to lankA ? by building a bridge
across the ocean giving also them a chance to offer
their kaimkaryam (service). Ultimately, You did not
utilize their help or services and made the clan of
Raakshasaas destroyed completely with Your prime
strength by sending arrows at them effortlessly and
victoriously! What is the big deal and wonder in it!
You are Supreme Lord and born as Kshathriyan [king]! 

The same Devas pleaded to You for getting back the
kingdom that was taken away by Bhali and this time,
You appeared as small dwarf like Brahmachari Boy ? in
a divine beautiful Brahmin form and inspite of Bhali?s
Acharya SukrAchArya stopping him and preventing him
from granting what You asked for [realizing that it is
mahAvishNu who has appeared with an intent to conquer
Bhali], Bhali offered to continue with his promise
made that he would give during the yaagam. You did not
even let him stay at the earth leaving a small portion
of land for him; instead, You measured the whole
Universe with your step mercilessly (irakka onRum
inRiyE) and got the whole Universe back from Bhali
[though it is always yours]. 

Did You get scared as a brahmin little boy with
powerful king in front of You? No! You showed no mercy
and rose to ViswarUpam to measure the whole Universe.
Did you ever think of showing dayA to him! Never. Did
you ever think of those tender charming beautiful red
lotus feet- which lookas if they have just been
bloomed- that they would get hurt and pricked by
thorns and rocks of the forests if You expand! The
three worlds- Both Devendran and Bhali wanted to rule
them greedily. Did you attempt to negotiate and split
them into two for both so that both are happy? No.
When You are born as Brahmin- [Brahmins usually are
repository of dayA- aiyO paavam- kudutthadalaam-
kEkkiRaan- is our- brahmins?  stand generally], You
did not show any dayA or mercy; and when You are born
as King (kshathriyan), will You show any mercy? So,
what is the wonder in destroying the lankA raakshasaas
completely and effortlessly! No big deal. 

Padma pAdhan- You forget even the tenderness of Your
ThirumEni (Body) and rush to take care of Asrithars
(devotees)! That is Your nature- enjoys AzhwAr by
taking the word PadmapAdhan- Says Sri UttamUr Swamy
beautifully.
