SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya namah:
Dear sri Sadagopan Swamin,
As usual yet another brilliant post from dEvarIr. Really enjoyed reading it.
I was reading Sri Mukkur Azhagiya singar's ThiruppAvai commentary which is sweet, simple and different as well.
For Ongi ulahaLandha Utthaman- Swamy writes:

this line is referred to Vaamana taking Thrivikrma avtaar to measure the Universe (during Mahaabhali yaagam- when he came in the guise of small Brahmachari Boy). But we do not feel that it is AndAL's ThiruvuLLam here to address to Vaamanan or Thrivikraman. It should be Sri Krishnan and Sri AndAL has made us contemplate on these lines in our minds as follows: (writes Swamy)

1. Utthaman (most virtuous One)- Can Vaamanan be Utthaman- when he cheats in the role of Brahmachari, came in a dwarf and later took huge form, it can not be the act of Utthaman. But Sri Krishna took that Viswa roopam (when Arjuna wanted to see) and hence he is Utthaman.

2. He helped Devendhran (a devathAtharam), a kamavasyan- and hence can not be Utthaman-:-) Sri AndAL's group is ParamaikAnthins asking for neengaatha selvam (unfleeting wealth- which is Himself)

3. He is Parama Purushan- Utthaman- the nexy few lines, refer to cows and giving milk in abundance etc.. can not refer to Vaamanan. It should refer to Only Sri Krishnan.

4. Also, He hid Periya PiraaTTi with the deer skin (when he came in as Brahmachari). Had Maha bhali (by chance) seen PiraaTTi, would he give those measures of earth? such vanjakan (cheater:-) can not be termed Utthaman

any many more that does not readily come to my mind..
Good anubhavam and AndAL and PerumAl would have shared smiling glances at these comments. This does not belittle Vaamanan; it is only glorifying Ayar kozhundhu..AyarkOn, YasOdhai ilam chingam...

Namo Narayana
