Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 17.AMBARAME Having entered Nandagopala's palace with the permission of the guards,the Gopis (Andal) wake up Nandagopa,yashoda, Krishna and Balarama,panegyrising their greatness. Nanda has placed his bed near the entrance for fear that the gopis,like Usha in the case of Aniruddha,may steal Krishna;especially as Krishna is more handsome than His grandson! Andal glorifies Nanda as a munificent donor of clothes,water and food; but we do not come across any such reference elsewhere.The commentator says: " As Krishna was seen giving clothes to Draupadi to save her modesty;water to the chariot horses at Kurukshetra;and food to his boyhood companions in the forest - it could be presumed that his qualities were inherited from His father. " But the gopis are not here for these items; they need only Krishna (VAASUDEVAH SARVAM).Yashoda gave birth to Krishna only to make Him their husband; and being a woman she knows their plight.So they next wake her up. Sri Krishna in his past incarnation as Trivikrama had obtained Indra's kingdom for him.But the gopis do not want Him to do any such thing for them.It is enough if He allows them to do service to Him.Krishna does not respond. Realising their mistake in not approaching Him through Balarama,they do so now and ask him to help them as he had once done in the case of the gopis separated from Krishna when He went to Mathura.
