Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Thiruppavai Pasuram 2 - 'vaiyaththu vAzhvIrkAL'

Here Andal describes the gOpikas as those who live in
this world. Being in SriVaikuntam when the Lord is in
Gokulam is like being in prison. This is similar to
being in Ayodhya when Rama went to the forest; or 
being in Mathura when Krishna is in Ayppadi. Thus, it
is the gOpikas in Ayppadi who are with Krishna that 
truly 'live'.

In describing this, it is shown that Dasaratha's 
position is that of love to Rama, as he died unable to
handle separation from Him.

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "Why did Dasaratha who loved
Rama so much, that he died unable to tolerate 
separation from Him, attain only svarga and not gain
liberation (mOksha)?"

Bhattar replied "ivanukkuLLadhu naragamE; perumAL
AnrushamsyaththAlE svargasthan AnAn". That is, "He 
(Dasaratha) should have actually gone to naraga, 
because he chose the ordinary dharma of speaking truth
and let go of the para dharma who is Rama ("rAmO 
vigrahavAn dharma:"). Only because of the Lord's grace
he even ended in svarga."
