A. Meaning from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

After inviting kaNNan to have her akkAravaDiSal, godai

is waiting for His arrival; night passes and the sun

rises. In early dawn, the dark sparrows wake up and make

noises, which, to ANDAL sound like they are singing and

announcing the arrival of jagannAthan, the perumAn of

tirumAlirumSOlai, the nAthan of dvAraka, the Innocent

Baby lying on the Alilai. Godai is wondering aloud

if the sparrows' words will come true.

 

B. Additional thoughts (from SrI PVP ):

 

KAlai ezhundirundu: A question arises as to how these

sparrows which are by no means intellectually highly

evolved, can get up early in the morning and talk about

the coming of emperumAn? nanjIyar narrates that SiRiya

AccAn (the disciple of va`ngipurattu nambi) has given

an explanation for this: "These birds were born in the

place where godai was born. What else can birds born

in her place do? Would they even have time to sleep?

So, it is possible for them to get up early in the

morning and talk about emperumAn's arrival". In

tiruvAimozhi 6-7-2 we have: "Urum nADum ulagamum

tannaip pOl avanuDaiya pErum tArgaLumE pidaRRa".

Even brainless creatures born in ANDAL's land would

keep talking about emperumAn.vangipurattu nambi's nityagrantham says

that a

vaishaNava should wake up early in the morning and

think thoughts that are for good him, and chant the name of hari 3

times:

 

brAhme muhUrte ca uttAya cintayet Atmano hitam

harir-harir-hariti vyAharet vaishNavah pumAn ||

 

This is the SAstram meant for the brainy vaishNavas,

but in godai's domain this seems to be the anushThAnam

prescribed for the less intellectually evolved birds as well.

mAlin varavu Solli maruL pADUdal meimmai kolO?: godai is

going through the same stage that sItA pirATTi went

through (rAmAyaNam - sundarakANDam 34-23). When hanumAn

appears before her with the message from her dear rAma,

she keeps doubting whether it is all true, or whether

she is just imagining things because of her state of

mind. godai is similarly wondering aloud if it is all her imagination.

 

SrI PBA observes that there are two interpretations

for "meimmai kolO". The first is the one explained in

the previous paragraph viz. Is it really true that

the sparrows are singing the arrival of emperumAn or am I imagining

this?

The second interpretation is that the sparrows have

been singing His arrival everyday for several days now,

and He has not come. So their words have not been

true so far; is it possible that today their words will come true?

 

ANDAL refers to emperumAn by three of His many names

in this pASuram - Solai malaip perumAn, tuvarApati

emperumAn, and Alin ilaip perumAn. The first

refers to His determination to protect His devotees

by being easily accessible to them through His arcA

rUpam. The second can be taken as a reference to His

sauSIlyam - that He was mixing with the 10,000 gopikA's

at their level. The third refers to His aghaTita

ghaTanA sAmarthyam - His ability to achieve the

impossible. He swallowed the three worlds, kept

them in His small stomach, and then went to sleep on a small leaf.
