Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 12.KANAITHU This gopi is the sister of a cowherd who,unlike the duty-conscious one in the previous verse,totally neglects the daily duty of milking the young she- buffalo so as to be close to Krishna and serving Him. He is called NAR SELVAN ; thereby indicating that for a Srivaishnava it is not the doing or neglect of Nitya Karma which helps attaining salvation,but it is God alone who is the Means for salvation.For example for a temple priest who is always engaged in Antaranga Kainkarya there may be neglect of his daily duties; this would however not be considered as sin . MANATTUKKU INIYAN- Sri Rama,unlike Krishna brings joy to the minds of his devotees as well as adversaries. This is said by Andal,the very personification of the Love for Sri Krishna,and hence is the richest tribute paid to Sri Rama.It might be recalled that she,in NACHIYAR TIRUMOZHI goes to the extent of blaming Yashoda for bringing up Krishna to be a very bad boy.(Vembeyaaga valarthaale).It is not such an extraordinary thing or a great wonder if Sri Rama is loved by His devotees and subjects;but when even Ravana is fascinated by His valour,it makes the derivation of His name apt (Ranjaneeyasya Vikramaih). SINATTINAAL - out of anger but without hatred.Rama had no hatred towards Ravana.Actually He wanted Ravana as a devotee;it was Ravana's own hatred which caused his downfall.It was only when he tried to attack Hanuman that Rama became furious and showered arrows on Ravana (kopasya Vasameyivaan).So He is always ready to forgive sins against Himself but not against His devotees.
