========================================================

 

Introduction:

 

In the last few pAsurams AnDAL finished waking up all Her friends and

reached the royal mansion of Sri ~Na~ndhagOpA. In the last pAsuram she

requested the door keepers to open the doors of the mansion so that

they could all enter the house and serve Sri KrishNA.

 

In this pAsuram She wakes up ~Na`ndhagOpA, yasOdhA, KrishNA and

BalarAmA and sing their greatness.

 

Inherited Qualities:

 

She first enters the royal c of ~Na~ndhagOpA and yasOdhA, which was

laid at the entrance of the house as such. This is because, as said in

the first pAsuram, ~Na~NdhagOpA is very keen in Sri KrishNA's well

being. He ensures that danger in any form never even nears Him. More

importantly, he made sure that KrishNA was safe from the girls of

ThiruvAIpADi who were longing to join Him. AnDAL in the first line of

the pAsuram as such hails ~Na~NdhagOpA to be a donor of cloths, food

and water etc. But as such no purAnAs ever speak so about him. Our

commentator's logic beautifully solves this doubt. They say, " We know

that KrishNA has donated cloths to Draupathi, water to the wounded

soldiers at the kurukshEthra war and food to His friends when He was a

kid. It cant be anyone other than ~Na~NdhagOpA from whom KrishnA

learned these qualities. " So the qualities that a child develops

depends on what it learns form its parents.

 

Waking up YasOdhA:

 

On the contrary the gOpikA's are not here to earn these things. They

have come for a totally different purpose. They need KrishNA as the

fruit for their vow. Since ~Na~NdhagOpA was not helpful, they go next

to yasOdhA who is a woman by birth and so could understand their

problem better.

 

The Last Hit:

 

AnDAL speaks about how KrishNA helped indhrA to regain his lost

kingdom from mahAbali. She informs Him that they do not expect such

heroic deeds but just some service at His divine feet. Even after this

Sri KrishNA does not respond.

 

Realising that they have committed a mistake of not approaching Him

through BalarAmA, She prays now to Him asking Him to help them like

how He helped the gOpikA's in a similar situation when KrishNA left to

MathurA.
