SrI:
SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

AzhwAr continues and touches upon the Bow usage and
His valour and enters into KrishNAnubhavam in this
verse [and will enjoy subsequent ones on Cowherd Boy
in grand way]
            
minniRatthu yeyiRRarakkan veezha vem charamcthuranthu
pinnavaRku aruLpurindha arasu aLittha peRRiyOy
nanniRatthu Or insol Ezhai pinnaikELva! mannuseer
ponniRattha vaNNAnaaya puNdareekan allaiyE?     (33)

Oh PundareekA! SarvashrEshtanE! Supreme Lord! The One
who has the greatness of valour to send sharp powerful
arrows and destroy Raakshasan (RaavaNan- who had
lightning like shining teeth) and then coronated his
younger brother VibheeshaNa with lankA raajyam and
blessed him! Lord! The divine consort of Nappinnai
PiraaTTi- who is of grand complexion, who is
unparralelled and peerless; matching You in all
aspects and all respects! Who sought You helplessly
with no other refuge for Her (yEzhai); You are the
Supreme Lord- Pundareekan possessed with most
auspicious attributes (anantha kOti kalyANa guNAs
eternally) and are of golden hued divinely beautiful
form..

In last verse- AzhwAr enjoys Lord Rama?s destroying
those who were linked to the raakshasa [RaavaNan] who
had abducted PiraaTTi. In this verse, He takes on
straight on the one who committed his apachAram to
PiraaTTi i.e RaavaNan. That?s the reason all monkeys
joined (and devas incarnated as monkeys) in the
avathAram of Rama- who appeared for their sake and
answering their prayers. His main mission is
abhayapradhAnam. Whoever surrenders- He says, do not
fear- abhayam. 

Why the teeth of Raavanan are referred to? Sri UttamUr
Swamy writes: the younger brother VibheeshaNan and the
maternal uncle (who had tasted Lord? valour before)
Maalyavaan kept advising ceaselessly every time
against the abduction of SitA PiraaTTi and advised
Ravana to return Her back to Rama as it is against
saasthrAs to bring someone else?s wife with a wrong
intention. Those advice were not palatable to Ravana
and he expreeses his anger by grinding his teeth
everytime. Hecen they get polished due to his frequent
grinding. 

aruL purindhu and arasaLitthu- Two different words- He
blessed Vibheeshanan with his merciful glances and
looked at him with extreme love and affection on the
devotee who had surrendered at His feet with an
unflinching faith unconditionally. And then He blessed
him with kingdom. [Read and enjoy Swamy Desikan?s
AbhayapradhAna saaram elaborating this most
beautifully and also Adaikkalappathhu- umadhadigaL
adaiginREn enRu orukkal uraiitthavarai- ? thamadhu
anaiithum vazhangi.. When one surrenders at His Feet,
He grants the prapannan everything including Himself-
anakkE thannait thandha kaRpakam- says NammAzhwAr. 

When He blessed pinnavan (younger one), AzhwAr
remembered the blessing of the Lord on Pinna(i)vaL.
i.e. Nappinnai. 

Till VihbheeshaNan came- the battle was for getting
SitA PiraaTTi; after VibheeshaNa saraNAgathi, the
mission was to place VibheeshaNan on the throne of
LankA. 

The third line on Nappinnai can also be addressed as
SitA who later were born as Nappinnai as it is
Vedhavathi who first appeared as SitA and later as
Nappinnai. OR even Lakshmi is addressed as Pinnai. All
adjectives of the third line apply to Lakshmi
naturally. 

Pon niRattha vaNNan- golden colured Lord- how the dark
hued cloud colured one is golden coloured as well!
ThirukkaNdEn pon mEni kaNdEn- With SrI, as He is
always with, He is seen as golden colour.
Vedas also refer the Lord to HiraNmaya (Gold colour
and Gold itself) meaning He is utmost and greatest
personification of enjoyment for us;. 

HiraNya kESa: hiraNyasmasru: ; HiraNmaya: purushO
dhrSyathE- are all sruthi vaakyams. Swamy Desikan in
his thaathparya chandhrikA mentions that the most
valuable gold naturally on its own has cloud colour
base. 

PundareekanE! Red lotus is Pundareekam, His hands,
palms, eyes, feet, navel, the red lips, the divine
charming face are all lotuses. He is the lotus forest.
The Paramapadham itself is called Pundareekam ?
Pundareekam ParamdhAma:- says VishnusahasranAmam.
Hence when AzhwAr addresses Him as PundareekanE! He is
greatest and most beautiful like Pundareekam and hence
He is addressed so- as He is SarvOtthaman; nirmalan
(Blemishless); Supran; ShrEshtan. Hence We need to
infer this word as SarvOtthamanE!
