Sri:
I would like to add another traditional angle which I heard in a lecture 
regarding 'atthatthin pattham nAl'.
Since Azhvar is afraid that asuras and rakshasas can harm the child, by 
blackmagic etc if they come to know the actual star of Krishna, Azhvar is 
covering it up by saying  'atthatthin pattham nAl', so that the 
evilmongers will be in doubt whether Krishna's star is rohini or sravana 
both of which are 10th stars from Hastha.

Dear Sri Vasudevan Swamin:

You have yourself answered the first part of your doubt by saying that by 
the time Sukha narrated the story, the events related to a by-gone age 
when all the dramatis personae had already quit the world and the question 
of Kamsa coming to know is not valid.

As for the second part, if you count backwards from Hastam, you will 
arrive at ROhiNi. That is what "aththaththin paththaa naaL" means. This is 
a case of poetic license where the poet juggles with words he employs in 
his narration.

This is what I have heard from KaalakshEpams of our Acharyas.
