In malur in Karnataka, infant Krishna is worshipped as 'aprameya' (immeasurable) swamy. Purandhara dasa composed Jagadodharana in that temple.
"மால்" (maal) means mAyA the illusion. He, in whom the worlds exist is seen as an infant to be fondled by Yasodha, says purandhara dasa.
Purandhara dasa highlights our illusion in this song. Like Yasodha, we are illusioned by names and forms.
He in whom gunas reside, whose immense power is not even deciphered by Vedas is seen as infant to be fondled by Yasodha says Purandara. He who is immeasurable, smaller than smallest, larger than the largest is seen as an infant to be fondled by Yasodha says Purandhara. He who is the puruSa residing everywhere (as sAksi, the witness) and hence called Vasudeva is seen as an infant to be fondled by Yasodha says Purandhara.
Like Yasodha, we are all illusioned by names and forms. We do not perceive the immense power of immeasurable puruSa witnessing behind every name and form. Purandhara dasa brings this out in this song on seeing the infant Krishna named aprameya (immeasurable) swamy at Malur
