The divyadesam of Thiruppadsgam is in Kanchipuram and is also known as Pandava Dhoothar sannidhi. Here, the Lord has a large form.
In Periya Thirumozhi 9-1-8, Thirumangai Azhvar sings "arava nILkodiyOn avaiyuL Asanaththai anjchAdhE ida, adhaRkup periya mAmEni aNdam Uduruvap perunthisai adangkida nimirndhOn". The form in this divyadesam matches to the itihAsa in this pasuram.
Sri Krishna went as a messenger for the Pandavas to the sabha of the Kauravas. Duryodhana, with a snake in his flag ("arava nIL kodiyOn"), built a hidden chamber in the floor of the sabha, kept wrestlers in there and placed a chair on top of it for Sri Krishna to sit. When Krishna did and fell in, the wrestlers attacked Him. He took a huge form and killed them.
This event is experienced in this pasuram ("seRRArkku veppam kodukkum vimalA". "amararkku mun senRu" shows Him going as a messenger for the Pandavas, who were born of Devas. "kappam thavirkkum" stands for the removal of their fear (kampa in Sanskrit is trembling; this word is used as kappam in Tamil).
Thus, the divyadesam of Thiruppadagam is experienced in this pasuram.
