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

 

Gifting away the Requirements:

 

Sri KrishNA listened to their list of accessories and said, " If you

can find someone equal to me, you can find a conch similar to my

pAnchajanyA. But still will help you with many conch's and paRai(drum)

as requested by you. 'pallAnDu isaippAr' is none other than your own

father Sri PeriyAzhwAr, 'kOla viLLakku' is Sri ~Nappinnai, 'koDi' is

garuDA, and the 'viDHAnam' is ananthan. Now that I have blessed you

with all your requests, you might go. "

 

The Eternal Joy:

 

The gOpikA's replied back saying, " These are for us to conduct the

vow. But after conducting the vow we have to receive certain honors.

Now you have to bless us all with them. " These words are exactly what

AnDAL uses in this pAsuram. She speaks about the enjoyment that a

delivered soul gets at Sri VaikunTam. In Srivaishnava terminology this

is called " muktha bOgA " .

 

Winning Over HIM:

 

An excellent message that AnDAL gives in this pAsuram is that the Lord

gets to punish a soul for its wrong deed only when the soul is not

ready to take refuge in Him. Two important examples are discussed

here. First is the example of parasurAmA. If at all He came with

folded hands he would have won over Sri RAmA. Similar is the case with

rAvanA. RAmA gave him a chance to get back home when he stood

weaponless and the next day if he had come over to surrender to RAmA,

rAvanA could have easily won over Him. He came fully loaded with

weapons and chariots and lost His life finally. That is were the

gOpikA's differed from others and won over Him, through submitting

themselves at His lotus feet.
