ANureNu paripoornameina rupam

Pallavi:     ANureNu paripoornameina rupam,
                    ANimaaDi  siri  AnjanaaDri meeDi  rupam

A Figure,  completely compressable to a small atom,  is there on AnjanaDri, where AstaLakshmi  stay. Asta Lakshmi are different forms of Sree  Maha Lakshmi, designated according to their concerned powers.

Asta Lakshmi:  Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, SantAna Lakshmi, VidyA Lakshmi, Bhagya Lakshmi, Vara Lakshmi, Jaya Lakshmi are eight forms of sree maha Lakshmi.

CharaNam:1    VeDantha Vetthalellaa veDiketi Rupamu,

                              PaaDuka yogeendrulu  bhaavinchu rupamu,
                                eeDesa nidivo konetiDari rupamu.  

That  figure, which all  great phylosophers search for, which has no beginning or end,; a figure, on which PaaDuka yogies  meditate, is present, here, this side, near the  holyPond.  

CharaNam2: 
                      Paalajalanidhilona  pavaLinche rupamu,
                         kaalapu surya chandragni gala rupamu 
                             Melimi veikuntthaana meracina rupamu,
                                keeileinaDiDe  Seshagiri meeDa rupamu.  

A Figure that  sleeps in the milky ocean, who has the time desiding Sun and Moon along with fire,  who cintillates the Veikunttha, is this  prime figure, on Seshagiri , i.e.sree maha Vishnu. 

CharaNam3:                                                                                                                                 
                   Munchina brahmaaDulaku   moolameina rupamu,      ,
                     KOnchani marraakumeeDi  kona rupamu k
                        Manchi  parabrahmamei  mamunelina rupamu,
                           Enchaga  sri venkataDriniDe rupamu. 

A Figure, which can cause the collapsing of brahmas and other entities, a figure on a. small Pepal leaf,  a figure which  rules us as great Parabrahma,  is the same figure  present on sree VenkatDri, ie Lord Venkatesa.    

Here, in this song, sri Annamayya mentions some asrophisical  events, for which Lord Venkatesa  is the cause and controller.
In the last charaNam, Annamayya says, the Parabrahma Venkatesa dissolves the Brahma and other celestial  entities when their power deteriorates.
Here, one special word is used to explain such a great phenomenon, i.e. "MUNCHINA." THIS simple word" Munchina" speaks about a big celestial  event, "Collapsing of the universe ", or “Compression of Celestial configerations into a Small Atom”.
The word “Munchina “ means Dippinng or Collapsing or Destruction.
Dipping into one point, or( into the small space) ,  the Brahma, along with other celestial entities compressing compactly,  causing unimaginable dencity of "mass converted energies"  ,  is  the Act of " Parabrahmam". At the same time, That Point of “Supreme Power” is also, Parabrahma only.

This is why, in pallavi, Annamayya says,  Parabrahma can even accommodate  in a smallest particle, an Atom. (ANu, ParamaaNu ) or a Molicule.

Great spiritual souls say, to do meditation on a single point with devotion.
That is " single point devotion". This One point contemplation resembles the meditation on “Parabrahma “.

The lord is present there on AnjanaaDri,  Seshadri, and Venkataadri , as Asta Lakshmi,  as Sri maha Vishnu,  and  as   Sree Venkatesa the Parabrahma. Names are different but presence is of the same, that of Parabrahmam.  

Annamayya says in one song ""Brahmamokkate, Parabrahmamokkate".  
This song content too speaks the the same Austro physical concepts which are mentioned in this song, “ Brahmamokkate Parabrahmamokkate”.

One  day, it was caught by a crocadile, while drinking water in a pond.  The elephant  (GajenDra ),  cried  loudly , calling Sree Hari. Immediately,  sree Hari left Veikutha, without  even telling His wife Sree Maha Lakshmi, Saved his devotee. From then onwards, Hari got a title as KarivaraDa.

Venkatapathi ,  a shelter, truely to all.

In this song, Annamayya  explains us,  how great it is listening the Sacréd stories of Sree hari. How many advantages, how many benifits are there, by
singing or worshipping  Lord Hari regularly.

Sree Mahalakshmi is mother of Brahma, Manmadha, ; hence, naturally lord Hari is father to them.

Kalpakam, Kaamadhenu, and Moon are the three Coborns of Maha Lakshmi. So, Sree Hari too owns them.

Whatever a wife owns can be shared by the beloved Husband too. A subtle expression of sharing the love,and Loved things is mentioned very beautifully by Annamacharya.

Vaamanaa.  Lord Maha Vishnu, as Vamanavatar, requested Bali,  three feet land as donation.

Bali said yes. Immediately, Vamanaa kept one foot on Bali's head, pushing him to PaathaL lok. Next, second leg was stretched to the sky's, inorder to measure the universe. Then where to measure the third foot? Was the question. Referring to this story, the first charanam is sung by Annamayya.

The foot which measured the entire world, the foot which was kept on the head of the  Rakshasa's king, Bali , the foot which was stretched to the sky's, was the same which rescued  VibheeshaNa.

The woman, who turned to a stone, due to a curse by her  husband  Athri Maha Muni, was Ahalya... When the foot of Sree Rama, touched the stone, curse  washed off, stone turned to original form as Ahalya.

The snake, referred to was KaLindi, who troubled the Gopalas, those gone for fetching water from a big pond,. Lord Sree Krishna, stood over the head of that Kalindi, and killed that.

Thuragapu paaDam" refers to Kalki,  the Kali Uga Avatar. It is believed, Kalki rides over a horse.
