Nappinnai: Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami's message

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Dear bhAgavatas,

 

adiyEn thinks that there is evidence for Nappinnai

being the incarnation of Nila Devi, in Nammazhvar's

pasuram "Kangulum Pagalum".

 

 

Thiruvaymozhi 7.2.9:

 

en thiru magaL sEr maarvanE! ennum

ennudai AviyE! ennum,

nin thiru eyiRRAl idanthun Nee koNda

nilamagaL kELvanE! ennum,

anRuruvEzhum thazuvi Nee koNda

AymagaL anbanE! ennum,

then thiruvarangam kOyil koNdAnE!

theLigilEn mudivu ivaL thanakkE

 

Here Azhvar addresses to Sriman Narayana as

"thirumagaL sEr mArvan" refering to Sri Devi,

"nilamagaL kELvan" refering to Bhu Devi and

"AymagaL anban" refering to Nila Devi. As She

is addressed as Ay magaL (gOpika), adiyEn is

guessing that this refers to Nappinnai.

 

If adiyEn has made any errors in this interpretation,

I seek all bhAgavatas pardons.

 

adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

Dear Sri TCA Venkatesh,

Accept my pranams. The question was not related to

doubting the equivalence of nappinnai(AymagaL) and nILAdEvi. But

related to why ANdAL had referred to nappinnai as "puruShakAram" when

rukmiNi was the chief queen and also why Sri ParAshara bhattar's

thaniyan starts with "nILAthunga" and if nappinnai and rAdhA are the

same.

 

NammAzhvAr also says in TVM 2.9.10

"EREl Ezhum venRu ErkoL ilangaiyai*

nIRE seidha nedunjudarjothi!*

thus referring to nappinnai and sita

 

and also in TVM 1.7.8

"ennai negizhkkilum ennudai nalnenjath

thannai* agalvikkath thAnumkillAn ini*

pinnai nedum vaNaiththOL magizhpIdudai*

munnai amarar muzhumudhaLAnE.

(PerumAL can not leave NammAzhvAr because N is a slave to mother

Nappinnai).

 

Seek forgiveness for "rough" translation.
