Dearest All,

 

In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role

of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the

feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna

with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the

words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains in this decad.

 

AndAL the only female AzhwAr presents a unique type of

mysticism (says Sri SMS Chari). Though she adopts the

symbology of nayaka- nayaki bhaavam and relation to

pour out her love to God-incarnate vibhava avathAram

of Lord Krishna of Brindhavan, she being herself a

bride, did not have to assume the guise of a consort

(nayaki), as NammazhwAr and Thirumangai AzhwAr did. It

came naturally to her. Further as her life history

shows, she was God- intoxicated right from her infancy

and developed a craving to marry only Lord

Ranganathan, the deity of Srirangam. More of it later.

 

 

I would like to thank Sri U Ve Venkat Kanumalla Swamin

for his reference to Geetha Govindham while he

referred to my earliest post.

 

With Regards to today's episode of Lord Krishna's

mischief growing proportionately with his age, Please

enjoy the following by another BhAgavata, Sri Jayadeva

in his immortal work Geeta-Govindam, with 24

Ashtapadis, describes almost similar feelings towards

our Lord Sri karishna as:

 

shlishhyati kaamapi chumbati kaamapi ramayati kaamapi

raamaam |

pashyati sasmita chaaru paraam aparaam anugacChati

vaamaam |

haririha - - - - kelipare || 4-7

 

Such frolicsome Krishna is even cleaving to someone,

and even kissing someone, and even delighting someone,

a delightful damsel, and paying his attention to

another beaming and most beautiful damsel, and he is

going in tow after one with her slanting glances,

thus, that gleeful Krishna is now amidst a coterie of

ravishing and coyly damsels, in a rapturous ronde… [a

pa 4-7]

 

Thanks to Venkat Swamin for his permission to share

this with you all.

 

Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr’s nayaki bhaava

verses… 4th verse of the sixth decad.

Though You had the most enjoyable mother’s breast milk

available to You from Yasodha, your mother, You still

sucked the poison smeared breasts of demon poothanai

and sucked that milk along with her very life itself-

thus being called as “pitthan” (crazy child) by the

people of cowherd folks! When I am staning here

waiting for You, You enjoyed the communion with the

maid whom I sent as my messenger for telling you my

pitiable plight. Isn’t it a bit too much for Your

mischief?
