Vyakhyana Saram:
The Lord says - "I am the supreme; how surprising it is that you say that I was afraid of a woman, that she tied Me up, and that the world knows about it" and tried to hide the marks with words and dress. Azhvar replies - "If it is one mark on Your body, You can cover it up; You have marks everywhere on Yourself due to the many great acts You have done for the sake of Your devotees. Which one will You hide?"
