SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Description of Vibhava avathArams is just completed by
AzhwAr. When AzhwAr enjoyed KaNNan ? dark hued one-
who killed Kamsa, he started longing for seeing and
enjoying His dhivya mangaLa vigraham. In all yugas,
the Lord has different colour of His ThirumEni (Dhivya
mangaLa vigraham) ? says PramANam (saasthrAs). AzhwAr
remembered them and describes in this verse. 

kruthE ShuklasChathurbAhu: thrEtHAyAm rakthavarOsou;
dhvAparE bhagawaan ShyAm; kalow krishNam thvishaptha
krishNam ? etc- says saasthrAs. Due to time factor and
in order to show distinction between them, He shows
Himself in different colours; However for Kaliyuga, He
shows Himself in His true colour i.e. dark colour and
hence KaNNan appeared in that colur which natural to
His form due to His sowlabhyam. Still the world does
not want to see Him as the Lord. He is so near; yet
they don?t see Him- AzhwAr feels bad.    

paalineermai semponeermai paasiyin pasumpuRam,
pOlum neermai poRpudai thadatthu vaNdu viNdulaa
neelaneermai yenRivai niRainthakaalam naangumaay,
maalineermai vaiyakam maRaitthathenna neermaiyE?   
(44)

In the four yugAs (kaalam naangum) [EmperumAn?s-
Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan?s]- like the nature as
the milk; like the reddish gold; like greenish moss
[paasi]; like the nature of the most beautiful dark
karuneydhal flower found in the cool pond- blue hued
dark one; such wonderful forms and nature (sowseelyam-
accessible nature) ? You possess in these YugAs and
have tremendous unbounded limitless affection and
vaathsalyam for Your devotees. Still the world is not
able to see the guNa vishEsham (Your most auspicious
attributes). That is also Your wonder and leelA to
hide the same from the world! What is that quality! ?
wonders AzhwAr. 

White, red, green and black- that?s not the way what
AzhwAr enlisted. He mentions milk, gold, moss, and
karuneydhal flower objects because He is most
enjoyable and Parama bhOgyam like the sweet milk; most
valuable (invaluable) like the gold; cool and serene
like moss; and most beautiful like the karuneydhal
flower and thus AzhwAr enlists the guNas of beauty,
fragrance, nature, and His sweetness in one stroke and
His ThirumEni is the combination of all of these- says
AzhwAr. 

Paasi- moss is not green everywhere- at some places it
is dirty is not green; hence AzhwAr says external
greenish like moss- paasiyin pasum PURAM pOlum.. 

poRpudai- Gold- most beautiful; and hence good for the
mind.. (manatthukkiniyaan). 
Thadatthu- cool; and also pond (hence cool for the
whole Body, heart and spirit)
vaNdu viNdulaa- the flowere where bees flock, drinking
honey and hum joyously; Thus Parama bhAgawathAs
assemble and flock Him singing His praise- which
itself is ParamabhOgyam like Himself. 
Thus the tongue, (milk), the touch (pond), the ears
(listening to bees); the eyes (seeing the karuneydhal
flower) the nose (fragrance of His- with the same
flower); He is Sarva gandha; Sarva Rasa: He is the
Greatest personification of enjoyment; Parama bhOgya
SwarUpi; He needs to be enjoyed with all five organs ?
enjoys AzhwAr in this wonderful Rupa vailakshaNyam
description. 

AzhwAr does not mention niRam (colour); instead He
says ? neermai. Hence along with the colour one should
enjoy His other most wonderful qualities; 

Vaiyagam maRaitthadhu- Though He shows Himself in such
wonderful forms, attributes and sowlabhyam, still the
world does not see His sowseelyam and His lordship due
to the enormous dhurguNAs of its accrued over the ages
due to our own karma vaasanaas. Thus, He does not let
Himself and His beauty be enjoyed by others and though
they see, they are not able to describe to others as
they forget soon due to karma vasanas. yavanikA mAyA
jaganmOhinI.. is the mopst famous line. It is His
maayai. Thus few are like asurars and are not able to
appreciate His gunAs- worries AzhwAr. Thus when he
mentions that vaiyagam- world- he means only those who
are not able to enjoy Him thus.
