Dear swAmi,
The vyAkyAnam for the pAsuram
"kariya mA-mugil padalangaL kidandhu, avai muzhangida,
kaLiRu enRu periya mAsuNam variaiyena peyar tharu,
piridhi..." 1-2-10;
 
is
'..malaikkuch siRappuch sollumavargaL, malaip-pAmbugaL yAnaiyai vizhungum, ennak kadavargaL, AgaiyAl kariya mAmugil padalangaL kidandhu muzhangiRavaRRai periya-mAsuNamAnadhu , Anaiyai buddhi paNNi AmishArthamAga malai pEArndhAr pOle, kAl vAngi vandhu .....AgaiyiREA periya mAsuNamenRadhu-Anaiyai vizhungumpadiyAyiRRu idhinudaiya perumai iruppadhu'.
 
A crude translation :
 
" Those who mention the speciality of mountains, say that pythons are capable of swallowing even elephants. Therefore, the blank clouds and the sounds emanating from these are mistook this for elephants and muster themselves as hill to devour... That is why these are termed as
'periya-mAsuNam'. The nature and speciality of these pythons lies in swallowing the elephants'
 
Normally, when clouds and lightning occur, the serpants take refuge in their holes. However, these pythons dare out in numbers as if to devour the elephants. That is the paradox.

those who do not read Tamil and for those  who speak Tamil but

commentary . Thanks .
