Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

ThiruippAvai 14th verse- ungaL puzhakkadai thOttatthu vaaviyuL:

engaLai munnan yezhuppuvaan vaay pEsum nagaay- naaNAthhay- naavudaiyaay-Oh

beautiful girl! friend! It is you who said earlier (yesterday) "I would

wake you all up tomorrow". Where is that? It is you who is getting up now

last. Had we trusted you, the whole yamuna river would have even gone.

Dhanur mAsa Aradhanam - is it meant for morning or evening? - After all

this, you are sleeping still, oh shameless one! Everyone says, you are a

great devotee.

 

I just slept; It is already dawn?

You would have wandered here and there with KaNNan all night. Hence you

would have slept quite late. Look at this. In your own garden, the flowers

have bloomed (senkazhuneer flower); the karuneydhal flower is closing as the

dawn is arriving. Is this not enough?

 

You are there at my entrance. How do you know about the backyard gardens?

 

Oh.. we yelled from entrance. You did not get up. We jumped from the

backyard wall and saw those flowers.

 

I think you saw something else in the dark. It is not yet dawn.

 

Sanyaasis of this village have also got up, with their milky white teeth

(brushed), white pooNool (upaveedham) and the white cloth of their

thridhaNdam;- can you not see? (sanyaasis never take betel nuts and hence

their teeth are always white)

Oh no.. (friend laughs) how can the teeth be not white? They are always

white.

 

Look at the mirror and see your teeth. They are still reddish with the betel

nut chewed by you (which was given by KaNNan to you).

Look at those sanyaasis who are uttering Dwaya in their lips, wearing

saffron cloth but white pooNool. They have their conch shells and they

either blow in the morning during Ardhanam or they use them for

Thirumanjanam. They perform sandhyAvandhanam after their dhanur mAsa

ArAdhanam.

 

Okay. You missed and did not do what you said (that you would wake us up).

But since you are His devotee, what you do is always right. (ennadiyaar

adhju seyyaar; seydhAlum nanRE seyvar- what my devotees do is always right-

says Sriman Narayanan).

 

Why should I come- is it what you ask? To sing in praise of Bhgawaan KaNNan.

Our tongues get seasoned only by singing and uttering His names and guNAs.

Come and utter, praise with your tongue.

 

To sing whom?- is your question. Sangodu sakkaram yEndhu thadakkaiyan- The

One who has the Conch shell and ChakrA in his Hands. - Sriman Narayanan-

Bhagawaan KaNNan. We are all Srivaishnavas. We will not sing everyone and

confuse others. Come and let us sing in praise of KaNNan.

 

Who is He? (She wants to hear from them more about Him- she enjoys hearing

the same)

Sankha chakra gadhA paaNi; DwarakAnilaya achuthan. Don't you know?

I know. Which perumAL?

Oh friend! I think you are driving us crazy.

Where does KaNNan exist with Sankhu Chakra?

He is the lion cub of Yasodha and NandhagOpan. He is the same one with

Sankhu and Chakram. avanEthaan ivan.

Have you ever seen Him with Sankhu and ChakrA? Why are you confusing me?

Oh no. I am sorry. Don't get angry with us. This ANdAL only said that. Let

me ask AndAL. GodhA! Answer her query.

 

Here is what AndAL says:

 

He has ajAnulambi bhujam; His arms extend upto the knees; The hands that hug

the devotees tightly;' the hands that grant everything to those who

surrender to His lotus feet; the hands that carry the senkOl (ruling spear)

to rule the whole worlds in unbiased manner; He has got no partiality. Hand

that send the chakrA when required; and blow the conch shell when needed.

Now He does not have Sankhu ChakrA because Devaki (his original mother) who

gave birth to KaNNan was scared when seeing the baby with small cute Sankhu

ChakrA and with four hands. She was scared that Kamsa will know that he is

the divine child and kill Him; she was worried that people will tease Him

for having four hands. She prayed and requested Him to hide the two extra

hands and also Sankhu and ChakrA; After the death of Kamsan, he will show

all four hands and Sankhu and ChakrA- says AndAL. He will show us as well

later. When we get more devotion, He can show us even now as Sankha Chakra

gadhA paaNi. Let us now go to Yamuna to see our KaNNan and enjoy His beauty.

 

Let us enjoy His lotus eyes. That alone is enough for Him to be identified

as PerumAL- Sriman Narayanan. Even during Vaaraha avatar (huge boar), His

eyes (red lotus) showed His Parathvam. KabhyAsam puNdareekam yEvam akshiNI..

Like the red lotus flower that blooms facing the sun when the sun rises- His

eyes are also so beautiful like the just bloomed red lotus flower.

Kariyavaagi pudai parandhu miLirindha sevvariyOdi, neenda ap periya vaaya

kaNgaL- vaatamil kaNgaL.

 

Naa avanai alladhu vaazhtthaathu- the tongue will never praise anything and

anyone else except Him; - Your tongue can also sing. Even if you wish to

sing others (demi gods), your tongue will not allow you and be cooperative.

We know your tongue's greatness. So, please come and sing.

 

Being such a devoted person, so close to KaNNan, you need to be a role model

for everyone. If you do not practise what you preach, others will not obey

your instructions. Elders - that's why are great anushtAthAs and practise

what they write or preach. Please get up and come out.

She sought forgiveness, joined the goshti and they walked together

 

If there is any merit, the credit goes to the great commentary by Srimath

Azhagiya Singar.

Any errors / mistakes are due to my lack of understanding.
