Guest guest Posted September 21, 1996 Report Share Posted September 21, 1996 Krishna prabha said: >>I think Nappinnai also refers to Andal.<<< I think Nappinai is a Tamil colloquial name to Lord's consort. Just as we call Krishna as Kanna and the Hindi people use Kanaiyya. In some Kannada commentaries of Andal Thiruppavai (for eg', Thiruppavai Rasaswadini, by my father K.S. Krishnatatachar). Nappinai is at times translated as Neela Devi. Andal = Nappinai is similar to Andal=Lakshmi, Sita=Lakshmi etc. Andal in her Thiruppavai addresses Vishnu's consort as Nappinai. Brcause, Andal envies her and even jealous of Nappinai, referring to Andal as Nappinai is contextually inappropriate. Sincerely Tatachar (K.
