SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

AzhwAr here sings about the meditation on both forms
of PiraaTTi and of Lord Sriman Narayanan. 

maNNaiyuNdu mizhnthupinni
  ranthukoNda Lanthu,maN
kaNNuLalla thillaiyenRu
  venRakaala maayinaay,
paNNaivenRa vinsolmankai
  konkaithanku pankayak
kaNNa,ninna vaNNamalla
  thillaiyeNNum vaNNamE.     (105)

Oh Lord! The One who retained the Universe in Your
stomach [during Dissolution- mahApraLayam]; who
brought out the Universe afterwards [during evolution]
who measured the Universe with his Feet [when He
begged for three measures of earth with His little
Feet appearing as Dwarf Brahmin- Vaamana avathAram];
This world is never under loss of my control or under
my overseeing- Thus You have been controlling this As
the Director at every time, every situation and all
circumstances! Red lotus eyed most beautiful Lord who
is ever associated with soft spoken Sri ? residing in
her tender breasts! The divine Form that adiyEn
contemplates is Your most beautiful form [along with
PiraaTTi] only and none else?s. 

The first line means: the Time- when You swallowed the
Universe; the Time You spat it out; The Time You
measured The same; Thus You are the Master of Time
also; Kaala naathan. 

The swallowing and spitting are used by the AzhwAr to
explain the philosophic concept of Dissolution and
Evolution of the Universe. These dieas are not
borrowed. The KathOpanishad speaks of the entire
Universe comprising sentient beings and non-sentient
entities as food for Brahman (yasya brahma cha
kshathram ca ubhE bhavata odnah). Based on this
Upanishad Statement, Vedantha Sutras describes the
Brahman as attA or eater (attA charAchara grahanaath).
Thus swallowing ad eating are the cosmic functions of
The Lord who is the supporter, director and controller
of Brahman.  

Your Beauty- even when there is no enemy You shine
valorously; and even when there is enemy You exhibit
calm and composure in Your divine Face- That is the
divine form with Your Divine Consort- I am blessed to
have in my dhyAnam- says AzhwAr.
