SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

PerumAL appears to be asking AzhwAr ?why are you
saying ?I am tempting and enticing you snatching my
mind off my Lotus feet? ? Just because I am the
Almighty I do not do to my whims and fancies ? though
I can. It is all due to enormous karma and their
fruits alone.. Isn?t it? 
AzhwAr responds here.. 
 
saadusaadu paathanE!sa
  lankalantha poykaivaay,
aadaraavin vanpidarn^a          
  dampayinRa naathanE,
kOdun^eedu kaiya!seyya
  paathan^aaLu munninaal,
veedanaaka meyseyaatha
  vaNNamen_kol? kaNNanE!     (86)

Og Most valorous One! The One who effortlessly kicked
the wheel asurA with your toddler feet! [in your
KrishNAvathAram] In the middle of the pond full of
deep waters, You danced on the venomous snake
kaaLingan and tamed him! SarvaSwAmi! My nAthA! The One
who has divine Sankhu (Conch Shell) in Your
resplendent Hand! KaNNA! Everyday, if one retains your
most sweetest, divine beautiful red lotus feet in the
heart, he can get rid if all sins accrued over the
ages; why does he not do that sincerely and
faithfully? 

It is Yiur nature to remove all hurdles and enemies if
your Asrithars (devotees); Where is the proof ? You
may ask. There very many. Here is few. As a toddler,
You kicked the sakatAsura with your little cute foot
making him roll to death. The venomous snake with
thousand heads enjoying its time unchallenged in the
pond making even the waters poisonous, You jumped into
it playfully and then danced on each of its head when
it raised the same to kill you with fiery fumes and
poison and when it tried to tie you down making you
choke, you caught hold of its tail and merrily showed
Your self as great dancer. You thus destroyed the
enemies of Gopas and the cattle.  

Similarly can you not remove my enemies ? namely, my
own five senses, the accrued tons of paapams? Can you
not destroy them? 

I am retaining these lotus red feet of yours inside my
heart. It would start killing some asurA., dance on
some snake and hurt itself; and hence I wish to
protect its tenderness and beauty by hiding it from
others inside my heart. Thus having the feet always in
my heart, still why are You ignoring me ? is the
underlying message- perhaps to the Lord. 

Veedanaaga- Removing all paapams ? sins; OR it may
also mean- getting rid of this samsaaric births and
attain Paramapadham. 

Thus with this verse, please bless by destroying all
my accrued various paapams. 

AzhwAr pleads for the meditation of His lotus feet
everyday- always. Thus when he claim that he retains
the lotus feet in his heart, he implies that it is NOT
poorNa dhyAnam. ? not full and complete, uninterrupted
meditation. In order to perform that ceaseless
dhyAnam, the destruction of enemies and hurdles need
to be there and for that as far as possible think of
His lotus feet and that would remove and cleanse all
these enemies and hurdles.    

This also does not happen always as even kaivalyam
[enjoying of one?s own jeeevathman- self], asishwaryam
[wealth] fruits come to mind and they become the
hurdles and thus even they need to be destroyed. 

Thinking of Your feet alone is enough for the
paamams?s destruction? Is there any other
praayaschittham that is required? Thinking of Kutti
KaNNan?s little cure red lotus feet is implied and
thus AzhwAr addresses KANNA! in the verse. 

Even Sage Pasarasara rishis have said, 
?prAyaschitthAnyaSESHANi karmAthmakAni vai| 
yAni thEshAmaSESHANAM krishNAnusmaraNam param ||

anusmaraNam is thinking of Him everyday. Think of His
lotus feet. 

NammAzhwAr also mentions the same in Thiruvaymozhi
