13. PULLIN VAAY KEENDAANAI

 

 

A girl with bewitching eyes (PODARI KKANNINAAY) is

woken up in this verse. She is of the view that Krishna

will come to her fascinated by the beauty of her eyes.

To add to this she is lying, brooding over Krishna's

heroic exploits,in the bed formerly shared with Him

and which still retains His fragrance.

 

The statement in the previous verse that Sri Rama

scored over Krishna in being " MANATHUKKU INIYAAN "

created a sort of mutiny among the girls, some of

whom disputed this by saying, " how can Rama be said to

be the receptacle of all the virtues? Did He,like

Krishna who acted as Pandavaduta, go as messenger for

anyone? Didn't Krishna's charms allure even the sages?

Even His mischievous pranks are meant for us only.

Moreover Krishna is our husband and irrespective of

how he treats us,it is not proper for us to praise

another as being greater. "

 

Some mediators intervened and pointed out that both

are the same Sriman Narayana, and so where is the

cause for dispute.Thus reconciled the girls split

into two halves each praising the glory of Krishna

and Rama.This is the excellence of this verse.
