Vishnu Sahasra Naamam-Vol III-RR-edit.pub - Ibiblio

stealing butter, getting tied to the mortar, etc. SrI v.v. rAmAnujan refers to
bhagavAn's own words about His acts - janma karma ca me divyam (gItA4.9),
where He Himself describes His karma-s or acts as divine. The mere
contemplation of even His acts will release the person who contemplates on
these from the bondage of samsAra.
His divine acts do not just stop with the lovable acts in His childhood, but
extend to all aspects of creation, protection and destruction. nammAzhvAr
starts the description of His leelA-s in 6.4.1, and goes on listing more and more
of His acts in the next 11 pASuram-s, frequently interspersing with
"maRRumpala", indicating that they are countless, even though he is listing
some examples (This list reminds one of Lord kRshNa's description of just a
few examples of His indescribable vibhUti in chapter 10 of the gItA):
