The sky represents the spreading nature of Naaraayana Tatwam. In that sky, birds fly with the help of two wings. Their chirping sounds indicate it is about to dawn. The winged bird symbolizes Aacharya who shows the path to disciples. One wing is Jnana – the knowledge, and the other, is its practice. Without two wings none can fly.

Krishna’s boon to Puthana who gave poisonous milk
Several Bhagawata stories and incidents from the Raamayana are referred to along with some more stories in Tiruppavai. Goda in a very crisp symbolic way, in a few words mentions an interesting episode in Srimad Bhagavatam. In Sixth Pashuram, Goda writes about Putana, the demon, who was commissioned by Kamsa to find and finish the boy who was born a few days ago everywhere in his kingdom. His aim was to remove his proclaimed enemy the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva. He knew the He was born in his jail, but he does not know when he left jail and where he is growing up.
The book “prabhupadabooks.com” explained: Putana was neither a devotee nor a non-devotee; she was a demoniac witch instructed by Kamsa to kill Sri Krishna. Nonetheless, in the beginning, she assumed the form of a very beautiful woman and approached Sri Krishna exactly like an affectionate mother, so that mother Yasoda and Rohini did not doubt her sincerity. The Lord considered all this, and thus she was automatically promoted to a position like that of mother Yasoda. Putana was immediately promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka, which is also sometimes described as Svarga. The Svarga mentioned in this verse is not the material heavenly planet, but the transcendental world. In Vaikuṇṭhaloka, Putana attained the position of a nurse as described by Uddhava. Putana was elevated to the position of a nurse and maidservant in Goloka Vrindanam to assist mother Yasoda. Writer M.A. Venkatakrishnan said the wicked Putana got moksha, when her life was taken by Krishna, but instead of milk mixed with poison, it seemed as if Putana fed Krishna milk mixed with her life, for Krishna sucked out her life, when she fed Him! He put in no effort to do so. He even enjoyed the milk that she offered to Him. True it was poisoned, but to Krishna it tasted sweet, because Putana had come with the exclusive intent of offering it to Him, and to no one else. She was giving Him whatever she could, and she was doing so without offering it to anyone else. https://www.thehindu.com/society/faith/moksha-for-putana/article37971829.ece
