You,

who is the girl of blemishless, valiant man not only capable of milking several

cows with calves but also able to vanquish his enemies, who has tresses like

the hood of a serpent, and resembles a peacock, come . why are you, who is the

darling of all, sleeping without moving and without replying while all your friends have come and are standing in

your courtyard and are singing the name of the one who is like a dark cloud in

hue.

kattrukkarvai - the

cows should be milked only along with their calves and after the calves have

drunk their share. But kattrukkaravai means the one who gives milk to

its calf and at the same time carrying another in its womb. Thus it is forever

giving milk.

 

kaNangal palakarandhu-There

is a multitude of cows in AyarpAdi.Milk is abundant and overflowing but the

cows are milked in order to reduce their heaviness owing to carrying a lot of

milk. Also the cowherds do the milking as an exercise for their limbs to make

them fight-worthy to conquer their enemies.

 

chettrAr - enemies. Who are the enemies for the gopas?

Those who act against Krishna. The enemies

of the Lord and His devotees. Kamsa was the enemy of both because he destroyed

the brahmins and the sacrificial works thinking that the Lord can be destroyed

thus.

 

Thiralaziya- the

idea is to destroy the power and not the individual.

 

senrucheruccheyyum- to

go where the enemies are and destroy them. In dharmayuddha the armies meet only outside the city in a

common battle ground like kurukshEthra

in order to save the women and children.

 

kuttramonrillAdha- blemishless

 

Porkodi- You

are like a golden creeper which needs the support of the pole called Krishna to survive.

 

Puttraravalgul-The

long tresses of the girl is spread like the serpent which comes out of its

abode and spreads its hood and also it

looks like the tail of feathers of a peacock. The quaintness of expression is

seen in mentioning the serpent along with its enemy the peacock.

 

kattrukkaravai are the upanishads and kaNangal pala karandhu-----cheruccheyyum refers to the acharya who milks the cow of

the upanishads and gives out the meaning to the disciples like milk. This may

also denote the Lord, the Gopalanandhana who milked the upanishads and gave them in the form of the milk of the

Gita.'sarvOpanishadhO gAvO dhOgDHA gopalanandhnah.'

 

porkodi is

the prapanna who has surrendered to the acharya or the Lord Himself as a

creeper seeks its support. 'kOl thEdi

Odum KozundhE pOl mAl thEdi Odum manam,'

 

Puttraravalgul punmayil is the paramaikAnthi who is compared to the

serpent in its abode as he will not display his knowledge or greatness and like

the peacock which dances on seeing the rain-cloud he will dance at the sight of

the Lord.

 

sittrAdhe pEsAdhE -without agitation and without talking anything

else but should be occupied with the spiritual pursuits only. Once surrendered

to the Lord it becomes His responsibility to protect us. When we never worry

about our birth or death why should we worry about the intermediate stage of

sustenance! The Lord takes care of the prapanna who is like selvapendAtti, dear wife

to Him.

 

This

pasuram has reference to BhoothatthAzvAr

who styles himself as a creeper in his work and the term kuttramonrillAdha may refer to all the

three mudhalAzvars, viz.bhoothattthAzvar, pEyAzvAr and poigai AzbvAr who did not have mortal birth

but were found as such. Kovalar may

very well mean ThirukkOvlur, the place of origin of BhoothtthAzvAr. Puttraravalgul is his extreme

bhakthi and suttratthu thOzimAr are the other two. ChettrAr thiralaziya etc. refers to his intention to convert

the hearts of the enemies of the Lord through guidance and instruction.
