Need to understand what does the sign in permission of google sign in means when I select one of the email address and then get an on screen message like "See and download all of your Google Account email addresses" ?
Is that implies to see and download permission for all my Contacts or some thing else.
Can some one clarify me.

It gives the website "access to all public email addresses on the users profile that they have verified" (source). In other words, it just shows the website your GMail address.
Click your Google Account button at the top-right. Click Manage your Google Account. On the left menu, choose Security. Scroll down to Google apps with account address and click Manage access.
These email addresses are from your "About me" page. You can control who sees these email addresses across Google products like Drive, Photos, and Google+. On your Android phone or tablet, open your device's Settings app Google Manage your Google Account. At the top, tap Personal info. Under "Choose what others see," tap Go to About me.
With the use of Google Takeout, download all your Gmail emails in a compressed and convenient format. Follow the steps below to use this method: In the web browser type myaccount.google.com after opening it log in to your Google account. After opening the Google account click on Manage your data & personalization option.
By default, Google uses your Google Account email for contacting you unless you add a contact email. This email address can be from any email provider, but it should be one you check frequently. On your Android phone or tablet, open your device's Settings app Google Manage your Google Account. At the top, tap Personal info.
When you sign in to your Google Account, you can see and manage your info, activity, security options, and privacy preferences to make Google work better for you. You can review and adjust some privacy options now, and find even more controls if you sign in or create an account. Learn more. Sign in.

When I was linking my Google account to another website, the pop-up URL ended with this:
...&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fplus.login%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fplus.profile.emails.read&flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow
which decodes to this:
...&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.emails.read&flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow
The answer I linked to above explains that auth/plus.profile.emails.read gives the website "access to all public email addresses on the users profile that they have verified". The Google API returns this to the website:
"emails": [
{
"value": "[email protected]",
"type": "account"
},
{
"value": "[email protected]",
"type": "home"
},
{
"value": "[email protected]",
"type": "home"
}
]
So I wonder how you can have multiple email addresses linked with one Google account? I can't find evidence that it's possible. And the 'plus' in the API search makes me think this is some legacy thing from the days of Google Plus. The Google OAuth 2.0 page does offer https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.emails.read but there's no sign of 'plus'. And it just describes that endpoint as 'View your email addresses', which again is vague.
