Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Once Bhattar was explaining the meaning of the phrase "mUda ney peydhu muzhangai vazhi vAra" from the 27th pasuram of Thiruppavai. Bhattar explained that because the milk rice was fully covered in ghee it was running from the hands of the gOpikas up to their elbows. Nambi Thiruvazhudhivalanadu Dhasar asked Bhattar "Why would the ghee run down their hands? Would it not stay in their mouths?" Bhattar answered "When the gOpikas looked at Lord Krishna, they forgot everything else including the food in their hands. So, they did not put it into their mouth. If they had done so, the ghee might have stayed in there. But, staring at Krishna, they kept the food in their hands and the ghee ran to their elbows."
