Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi 1.8.2 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

palliyaavadhupaaRkadalarangkam irangkavanpEymulai,
piLLaiyaayuyiruNdavenNdhai piraanavanperugumidam,
veLLiyaan kariyaan maNinNiRavaNNanenReNNi, nNaadoRum
theLLiyaarvaNangkummalai thiruvEngkadamadainNeNYchamE!
    1.8.2

KaNNan- the One who sucked the poisonous breast and
sucked puthnai?s life making her cry with pain and
die; He is in a reclining posture at Thiruvara~ngam
(Srirangam) and ThiruppARkadal. He has grown at 
ThiruvEmkatam (ThirumalA); The realised sages
(j~nAnis) have described Him and praised  calling Him
daily as "veLLiyaan (Silvery Lord!), Kariyaan (Dark
hued Beauty!), Neela MaNivaNNan (Blue hued Emerald
like Beauty!). Such Greatest Most Beautiful Sowlabhyan
is here at ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Go and reach this
sthalam. (Here AzhwAr says 
"piLLaiyaay uyiruNda enthai piraan avan perugum idam"-
means: My Father- My Lord- The One who sucked the life
as an infant KaNNan- is growing here (at ThirumalA!) 

Periya vaacchaan PiLLai says "thottil piLLai pEy
uyiruNda pinbhu niRka kaRRadhu Thirumalaiyil" means:
The child that was put in the cradle, after sucking
the rAkshasi?s life, has learnt to stand only at
ThirumalA."- What an anubhavam)

veLLiyaan- White coloured Lord- durin thrEthA yugam
Kariyaan- dark coloured during Kaliyugam
mani niRavaNNan- Blue hued Lord during Dwapara yugam

thrEtha yuga- people were of mostly sattva guNA and
hence prayed to the Lord to show Himself in white
colour.  
Dark colour- in Kaliyuga- we [with mostly of thamasic
guNA- darkness] never pray to Him for showing himself
[as we are running amuck after material pursuits] and
hence He shows Himself in original form which is
natural to Him i.e. dark colour. 

Kutti KaNNan also [it is enjoyed by Poorvacharyars]
sucks only the milk and incidentally her life is also
sucked in the meanwhile. 

paLLiyaavadhu- Reclining in Milky ocean- when AzhwAr
mentions that, he is reminded of the Kutti KaNNan
lying down in the cradle, and then he is also reminded
of Thiruvarangam Lord Ranganathan. Hence all three
forms are referred to in the first line. 

KRISHNAAYA VAASUDEVAAYA DEVAKI NANDHANAAYA CHA
NANDHAGOPA-KUMAARAAYA GOVINDHAAYA NAMO NAMA:

Similar enjoyment has been made in Gopala Vimsathy by
Swami Nigamantha Mahadesikan  

aamnAyagandhI rudita sphUritAdharoshTam
AsrAvilekshaNamanukshaNa mandahAsam |
gopAlaDimbhavapuSam kuhanAjananyA:
prANasthanandayAmivaimi param pumAmsam || 

I visualize and revere Sri Gopala as the Supreme Lord,
who took the form of the child born in the cowherd
family. He was not an ordinary baby. As he feigned
fear at the sight of the approaching evil Puthana, he
alternately cried and smiled. As He cries, his upper
and lower lips quiver from the exertion. At that time,
his sweet breath carries the fragrance of the Vedas.
He also smiled in between his crying spells. His smile
was over the thought of what he planned to do next
with the deceitful Puthana. He not only helped himself
to the poisonous milk from her breast, but also sucked
her life through the very same act of responding to
her cunning invitation to breast-feed him. He drank at
one swoop Puthanai's milk and her life force and
blessed her this way. This certainly is no ordinary
child!
