Thaniyan:

 

The specialty of this pAsuram is that the thaniyan of thiruppAvai by

Sri ParAsara Bhattar, " neeLA thungasthanagiri.. " is a literal

translation of this pAsuram. Its a good story as to how the thaniyan

was born.

 

The Pleasure in His Company:

 

AnDAL sees Sri ~Nappinnai lying on the expensive couch with Sri

KrishNA. The cot rests on ivory bases on all four sides. AnDAL feels

the ivory for which was brought by His valorous deed of plucking all

the four tusks of the mighty elephant kuvalayA peeTam. Being the rich

wife of such a hero, She could not afford to sleep elsewhere. AnDAL

refers to many pleasures in this pAsuram the idea being that the

gOpis should get them all in His company only and thats exactly why

~Nappinnai is keeping company with Sri KrishNA.

 

AnDAL finally rebukes Her saying " If at all you do not ensure this,

you do not have mercy on us. "
