Despite the rebuke, NAPPINNAI was moved to pity by the

wailing of the Gopis and getting up approached the door

to open it.Krishna thought, " Nappinnai thinks that my devotees

are her own just as I consider hers to be mine.Hence

she should not open the door and get a good name ,leaving

me out.It is I who should open it. " So He came from

behind and lifting her up bodily threw her on the bed

with Him.But the mutual touch was so pleasant to them

that they promptly forgot all about themselves and the

poor Gopis.

 

The inner meaning of this high drama,as given by the

commentator is that there is a Divine Couple who are

vying with each other to look after the welfare of all

of us (souls).Hence we have no cause for concern at all.

All we have to do is to accept their protection.

 

Andal says to Sri Krishna in this stanza: " You have on

several occasions in the past dispelled fear from the

minds of the Devas and rescued them from the Asuras.

Now by delaying in granting our boon you are going to

lose all that hard-earned reputation as a saviour.Note

also that we are not asking you to become the target

of the weapons of a Hiranya or a Ravana.We merely want

to see you get up from your bed and grant us the boon

of serving you.We are ANANYA PRAYOJANA ADHIKARIs.
