Kulasekara AzhwAr PerumAL Thirumozhi- 6.8- You would come back one day; I will vent off my anger that day..

SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

 

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.

 

In this context of Andal mysticism, let us enjoy Sri

Anbil Ramaswamy write up about Andal bhakthi:

Devotional poetry spontaneously emerging from a God-

infatuated heart like that of GOdha, the sweetheart of

Krishna, is sure to contain much more than what

appears on the surface .In Tiruppavai and Nachiar

Tirumozhi, generations of Acharyas and other scholars

have been and still are seeing new meanings and fresh

beauties. And, the two provide an inexhaustible

goldmine of such delectable material and an

incomparably rich fare.

 

What is said of Valmiki applies with equal force to

Godha -.

 

" Tad Upagatha Samaasa Sandhi Yogam, Sama Madhuropana

Artha Vaakhya badham " - For her, the words fall in

place so inimitably, that you cannot alter even a

comma or a semicolon without damaging the beauty and

style of poetry or the depth and sense of the

sentiments expressed.

 

We are simply carried away by the torrential flow of

Nachiyar's expressions into the unfathomable depths of

her love; She not only loved but she also wedded the

Lord. Nachiyar sways our emotions so much that

 

-when her heart throbs, our hearts throb too in

unison!;

-when her mind melts, our minds melt with empathy!;

-when she entreats the Lord, we entreat too!;

-When she enjoys the Lord, we share the enjoyment

equally!

 

Here was an Andal; Where comes such another?

 

Godha indeed stands out as the outstanding exponent of

bridal mysticism and in this is regarded as setting a

model for the Alwars themselves. Unlike the other

Alwars who were all males and had to simulate a '

Nayaki bhava' (the role of a lady love), since she was

herself a woman, the bhava came to her naturally. Her

only ambition was to marry Lord Ranganatha.

 

Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr’s nayaki bhaava

verses… 8th verse of the sixth decad.

 

ennai varuga venakkuRitthit

You called me to come to a particular location; You

hid yourself behind the cool shadow of mullai flower

plants and You hugged someone else who was waiting

there for quite sometime; and when You saw me, You

slowly released and went away from that place. Holding

Your golden silk cloth in Your hand and You pretended

as if You were afraid and scared of me while running

away. Everything was a lie. You would come back one

day and I will vent off my anger that time.
