Periyalwar sings Krishna's childhood as Yashoda: His birth, His cradle, His bath, His mischief and His days with the calves, all with a mother's tenderness. He then turns to Rama, to the divya desams and to his own surrender. It is the fullest picture of the Lord as a child in the Prabandham, and the sampradaya says the Alwar's love made him a mother to the Lord.
