Varadhan pointed out something interesting. The quote from Srivachana
bhUshanam (SVB) "kaN kaaNa nNiRkil  aaNaiyittu vilakkuvaar_kaLenRu kaNNukku
thORRaathapati" and the inability of our mortal eyes to see his true
svaroopam are in different contexts. I meant to phrase them as two different
anubhavams for the reasons of  perumAL's contemplation.

The SVB quote is normally interpreted as describing that if perumAL shows
Himself to us, we will, out of our  ego/samsaara vaasanai, tell Him to go
away vehemently (aaNai ittu..). This is different from our inability to see
his true svaroopam.

**************************************************************
Why would perumAL hesitate, even a bit, to show his true golden form? 
As explained  
in the sri vachana bhUshaNam(*),  He is contemplating what form He 
can take to show Himself to us... If He shows His true viswaroopam, 
can we, with our mortal eyes, even take a glimpse?
(* kaN kaaNa nNiRkil aaNaiyittu vilakkuvaar_kaLenRu kaNNukku 
thORRaathapati)
