Introduction:

 

Finally approving their request to walk a few feet for the gOpikA's to

enjoy, He walked out of the room and sat on His royal throne. This

attitude that EmperumAN had towards His favourite gopikA's, working

out such requests, is compared to His simplicity in driving ArjunA's

chariot to his bet and call in the KurukshEthra war. Hearing their

plea, KrishNA walks from His bed to His throne and seeing that all the

gOpikA's with Sri ~Nappinnai followed Him singing praises to wade of

evil eyes, which will definitely be casted seeing such a majestic

walk. The commentator says that once He occupied the throne, the

gOpikA's started pressing His tender feet to wade Him of the pain of

walking that little distance owing to their request. Now the feet turn

red due to the strain by walk and their hands pressing them.

 

The Mighty Deeds:

 

This immediately reminds AnDAL of Sri KrishNA's heroic deed of

measuring the whole universe in two steps with these very tender feet.

She feels they have made Him strain Himself by making Him walk, very

similar to the dEvA's, forgetting His tender nature. AnDAL sings glory

to the care that He takes on people who come to Him for refugee

explaining the holy story of Sri VAmanA.

 

She moves on to another similar episode where Sri KrishNA helped the

dEvA's again from rAvanA. He walked the full length of India, crossing

the oceans fought with rAvanA, with an ease of entering a cave with

all might and fighting a wild beast.

 

AnDAL says, " Forget all these episodes. What still amazes us is the

way you dealt with the asurA who entered the cart under which you were

sleeping as an infant, not knowing what is good and bad. We fear for

all that. "

 

Furthermore AnDAL sings KrishNA's deed in managing the asurAs who came

in disguise as a calf and fruit. Than these issues, what fascinates

AnDAL is Sri KrishNA's help to the entire cowherd clan of saving them

from pouring rain when He lifted the gOvardhanam and held it in His

little hands.

 

Father and Daughter:

 

Though AnDAL's moto was to sings the heroic deeds of Sri Krishna, we

see her sing about Sri VAmanA, Sri RAma etc. As such they are all His

previous incarnations . These lines reminds us of Her own divine

father Sri PeriyAzhwAr's were He sings, " varuga varuga i~gE, vAmana

~nambi varugavingE, kariya kuzhal kAguththa ~nambi varuga ingE " .
