SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest All,

In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role
of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the
feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna
with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the
words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains in this decad. 

AndAL the only female AzhwAr presents a unique type of
mysticism (says Sri SMS Chari). Though she adopts the
symbology of nayaka- nayaki bhaavam and relation to
pour out her love to God-incarnate vibhava avathAram
of Lord Krishna of Brindhavan, she being herself a
bride, did not have to assume the guise of a consort
(nayaki), as NammazhwAr and Thirumangai AzhwAr did. It
came naturally to her. Further as her life history
shows, she was God- intoxicated right from her infancy
and developed a craving to marry only Lord
Ranganathan, the deity of Srirangam. More of it later.


I would like to thank Sri U Ve Venkat Kanumalla Swamin
for his reference to Geetha Govindham while he
referred to my earliest post.

With Regards to today's episode of Lord Krishna's
mischief growing proportionately with his age, Please
enjoy the following by another BhAgavata, Sri Jayadeva
in his immortal work Geeta-Govindam, with 24
Ashtapadis, describes almost similar feelings towards
our Lord Sri karishna as:
 
shlishhyati kaamapi chumbati kaamapi ramayati kaamapi
raamaam |
pashyati sasmita chaaru paraam aparaam anugacChati
vaamaam |
haririha - - - - kelipare ||  4-7

Such frolicsome Krishna is even cleaving to someone,
and even kissing someone, and even delighting someone,
a delightful damsel, and paying his attention to
another beaming and most beautiful damsel, and he is
going in tow after one with her slanting glances,
thus, that gleeful Krishna is now amidst a coterie of
ravishing and coyly damsels, in a rapturous ronde? [a
pa 4-7]

Thanks to Venkat Swamin for his permission to share
this with you all. 

Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr?s nayaki bhaava
verses? 4th verse of the sixth decad.

Though You had the most enjoyable mother?s breast milk
available to You from Yasodha, your mother, You still
sucked the poison smeared breasts of demon poothanai
and sucked that milk along with her very life itself-
thus being called as ?pitthan? (crazy child) by the
people of cowherd folks! When I am staning here
waiting for You, You enjoyed the communion with the
maid whom I sent as my messenger for telling you my
pitiable plight. Isn?t it a bit too much for Your
mischief?
