Talking about the affright form that he took for the sake of PrahlAda and travelling through the terrifying jungle terrain that escalated the heat of the region, EmperumAn wanted to cool AzhvAr down by showing the steps that leads to tiruvEnkaTam, where he stands to remove the samsAric sorrows of every one amidst a serene atmosphere.

1018. This primordial EmperumAn, with lotus petal like eyes, who being on a meditative state on the widespread tiruppArkaDal, having conches within it, descended as krishNa and annihilated the demon who came in the guise of the most fragrant flowers filled kurunda tree (wild lime tree). He even tore open the mouth of bahAsura who emerged as a wild crane, thus proving to be ever protective about his devotees. 

This lord abodes in the most beautiful hills, where springs with abundant waters posses the red carp fish (sem kayal) known as tiruvEnkATam. 

Oh! My dear heart, try and reach this abode.
