SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

 

Dearest All,

 

AzhwAr pours out his grief for not being able to enjoy

the Kutti KaNNan (in Devaki’s role). He cries out

through the media of Devaki by simulating emotions

motherly tenderness to the child.

 

AzhwAr feels (in the Devaki role) : I am so

unfortunate and unlucky to miss eating the remaining

food, which you used to leave on the plate.

Oh! KaNNA! The One who has cool most beautiful red

lotus like eyes! Your unsteady walking, falling down

and getting up (when you were just learning to walk);

your playing in the red dust and embracing me

immediately after with all those dirt on Your

beautiful body, smeared with dust- I did not

experience any such enjoyment. What a dhourbhaagyam!

Oh! your taking food with all the five fingers of your

little hand and putting it in your mouth; I was not

lucky and fortunate enough to eat the food left by you

in the plate. I am a great sinner. Oh why did my

mother give birth to such unfortunate me!

 

[When The Lord was born Vasudeva and Devaki are

overwhelmed and praise their little darling].

Continuing from the earlier verse (tamadbhutham)

 

mahArha vaiDUrya kirIta kundalathvishA

parishvaktha sahasra kunthaLam I

uDDhAma kaanchyangadha kankaNAdhibhir-

virOchamAnam VasudEva eikshEhta II

---Srimadh Bhaagavatham:10.3.10

 

[from Sri Satakopan Swami article] VasudEvA and DEvakI

saw all the signs and symbols of Divinity (MahA

purusha LakshaNam) and began to eulogize this divine

child.

 

VasudevA saluted this unique child this way :

 

vidhithOsi Bhavaan saakshAth Purusha: prakruthE:

Para:I

kEvalAnubhavAnandha svarUpa: sarva bhuddhi dhruk II

 

I recognize who Thou art ! You are the supreme being (

Purusha: ) Himself , who transcends prakruthi and are

of the nature of pure consciousness-bliss and sarva

saakshi.
