Sri:
SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,

For everyone to see and enjoy, Sriman Narayana, the
Jagath kaaraNan took the huge form as Trivikraman in
His avathAram. VishNu word is mostly referred to
Trivikrama avathAram in Vedas; and AazhwAr who
immserses himself in vibhava, archA avathArams, begin
to enjoy Trivikrama avathAram here in this verse. 

oNmidhiyil punaluruvi orukaal niRpa
 orukaaluNG kaamaruseer avuNan uLLatthu,
eNmadhiyuNG kadanthaNda meedhu pOgi
 iruvisumbi NnoodupO yezhundhu mElaith
thaNmathiyum kathiravanum thavira Odith
 thaaragaiyin puRandhadavi appaal mikku,
maNmuzhuthum agappadutthu ninRa endhai
 malar_puraiyum  thiruvadiyE vaNangi NnEnE.    5

orukaal ? One lotus foot 
oN midhiyil ? by placing the same on the Universe most
beautifully 
punal uruvi ? by cutting across the samashti waters
beyond the universe, tearing it apart to extend
beyond; 
niRpa ? considering that it is enough; it stopped with
that. 
Oru kaal um yezhundhu ? the Other lotus Foot also
raised itself 
Kaamaruseer avuNan ? the most auspicious endearing
asuran, Mahabali 
uLLatthu yeNN mathiyum kadanthu ? going beyond the
thoughts that come into the mind (of Mahabhali) even; 
aNdam meedhu poagi ? extended beyond the skies; 
iruvisumbin oodu pOi ? entered through the skies and
into them
mElai thaNNmathiyum ? the cool moon 
kathiravanum- the Solar system 
thavira Odi- they all became lower elements (the leg
extended above all of these) 
thArakaiyin puRam thadavi ? the stars and their system
are also touched and extended beyond them even; 
appal mikku maNN muzhudhum ? Beyond all of these; thus
the whole worlds 
agappadutthu ninRa ? are retained under His lotus Feet

enthai- My father, my Lord Trivikraman?s 
malar puraiyum ? the lotus flower like 
thiruvaDiyE ? Divine Lotus Feet alone
vaNanginEn ? (adiyEn) prostrates at Them.  
     
In the yaagam of Mahabali Chakravartthi, the dwarf
like Vaamanan as a small Brahmin bachelor boy, went
begged for three measures of earth, showing his cute
small feet, Bhali immediately offered to grant with
waters from his kamaNdalu, then and there, the Lord
took huge Trivikrama avathAram measuring the bhoo
maNdalam in one step; other step to extend beyond the
skies. 

Maabhali never even thought that he had been deceived.
Instead, he felt great and happy that he is blessed
with this great bhAgyam of giving to the Lord. Who
will have such a mind to give it all? Though he had
taken the same from Devas, now he has become
bhagyavaan. Hence AzhwAr praises him saying, ?kaamaru
seer avuNan?. 

He started thinking, how will he measure? How will he
measure the upper world? In one step? Or two steps? He
could not comprehend them all. Beyond his thinking
faculty, even faster than his thought process, the
Lord took huge Trivikrama avathAram and measured the
universe extending beyond everything. 

It went beyond Sathyaloka and the thumb entered into
the Samashti jalam (waters). That waters became later
ganges- Purana says. Thus from this very act itself,
it is distinctly clear that He, my dearest Father is
the Paramathama; my Swami. 

He did not want his property to become more asuric.
Hence he wanted the Lord to touch everything thus
making it sacred. He touched the universe with His
lotus Feet. Sankha rathAnga kalpaka dvajAvindhaankusa
vajra lAnchanam? 

AzhwAr feels that had we been there at that time, we
would have been touched by His Lotus Feet and would
have been saved; We would have enjoyed the lines
underneath His Lotus Feet. Oh mind, at least now we
are blessed to pay our obeisance. Great.

Thus with His divya mangaLa vigraham itself, He grew
and occupied eberywhere; Is there any wonder, He
manifests as antharyaami in everything and in
everyone? 

Swamy Desikan described beautifully in dehaleesa
sthuthi sthora on Lord Trivikraman of ThirukkOviloor
Divya Desam, (in sloka 10) 

bhakthapriya tvayi tathA parivardhamAnE 
   mukthA vithAna vithathis tava pUrvamAseeth I
hArAvaLi : paramathO rasanA kalApa: 
   tArA gaNas tadhanu mowkthika nUpura sree: II

Oh Lord! The one who pours affections and showers
mercy on devotees! As You grew so huge into a
staggering size as Trivikraman on the sacrificial
arena of Bali, first the sky that is star studded with
surface as the canopy of Your divya thirumukham (on
the Head), a lovely pearl (immediately) necklace
around Your neck; 

You grew so fast that the stars soon became the waist
band, a diamond studded girdle, (ottiyANam); within no
time, the same star studded assembly appeared to serve
as an ornament to Your Lotus Feet- as anklets 

All in all- the stars seek to serve You in a variety
of ways! Am I also not entitled to serve You? Please
enable me to be your servant. 

[Sri Satakopan Swamy writes] Swami dEsikan is till awe
struck over the adhbhutham that happened at the tiny
dEhaLi at ThirukkOvalUr. The thought of the Lord, who
expanded in all eight directions to pervade the
universe shrinking now to a tiny form to squeeze
Himself,  fills the mind of Swami Desikan and he once
again reflects on that viswa rUpam of the Lord as
Trivikraman. He concludes that it is the bhaktha
vaatsalyam of the Viswa rUpi that made Him take the
tiny from to enter the crowded dEhaLi to be near His
dear ones. 

Swami addresses DehaLeesan and says: 

In his dasAvathAra sthOthram , Swami Desikan has
saluted the gigantic strides of Lord Trivikraman as "
Traivikrama: vikrama: na avathu ) . Swami's mind
starts with the Lord's thirumudi (crown ) and ends at
the sacred feet . He sees around those feet the  sky
(canopy with bejewelled stars ) serving as the
silambhus ( NUParams ) . Swami visualizes that
limitless form of the Lord as TrivikramA  transforming
itself to a tiny from to fit the proportions of the
dEhaLI to be close to his parama bhakthAs .
