SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,
   
kaaytthaneeL viLankani uthirtthethirntha poonkurundhu
(dham) 
saaytthu maa piLantha kaitthalattha kaNNan enparaal
aaychchipaalai uNdu maNNai uNdu veNNey uNdu, pin
pEychchi paalai uNdu paNdOr ENnamaaya vaamaNnaa!    
(37)

Or yEnam Aya vaamanaa! The Lord who appeared as Huge
Boar at the beginning of kalpam! Vaamanaa! The One who
(during this avathAram of KaNNan) drank the breast
milk of YasOdhai; ate the sand (in the streets- like
an ordinary child); stole butter from cowherd folks?
houses and ate the same joyously; not just that- You
drank also the poisonous milk of Poothanai also; You
are addressed as KaNNapiraan the One who made the
viLAm pazha tree fall (by throwing the asurA who came
in the guise of a calf by catching its tail and
swirling it against the tree); one who befelled the
trees of Kurundha; one who killed the horse (Kesi) ?
one who is our nirvAhakan- by name KaNNan (say
vEdhAthic scholars). 

The One who were Varaaham and Vaamanan is this KaNNan.
Since these avathArams have already been dealth with
by AzhwAr in earlier verses- he just summarizes them
in half line- paNdu (Then) Or yEnamAya vaamanaa! 

maNNiyuNdu- can be KaNNan Kutti eating the sand; OR
the Lord having swallowed all seven worlds and the
whole prakruthi maNdalam; Since all other events are
related to KaNNan?s it is more appropriate to relate
the same to KaNNan?s eating sand. When He ate the maN
(sand), AzhwAr remembered the Lord taking the maN
(earth) out of troubled waters i.e Varaaha avathAram. 

The way You did all those wonders in previous
avathArams are nothing when compared to Your wonders
[Kutti KaNNan?s]- when Poothanai came in guise of a
motherly lady with affection, when the asurA came in
the guise of a calf; or as viLAmpazha tree- they all
get killed by Kutti with effortless ease. Also, when
the asurA comes straight with wide open mouth as in
the case of kEsi horse, he also gets killed.
