Bangles? Never.
 
It is common to see children and womenfolk looking for bangles of various types and sizes. Once these are bought will the wrist size not change ? Generally, even for children the width of the wrist remains constant at least for a few months.
 
However, in case of parakAla nAyaki what happens?
 
Well, parakAla nAyaki yearns for the Lord's togetherness when they are not together. At this time, her wrist width gets narrowed due to the pangs of separation. Hence, the bangles become loose and cannot be enjoyed.
 
On the contrary, when the Lord is together, the happiness makes the width widen and the bangles are too tight to be worn.
 
Hence, whichever be the case the bangles cannot be relished by kaliyan.
 
This is the explanation to the pAsuram of thirumangai mannan expressed during separation in the thiru-vAli thiru-mozhi "thUviriya"
 
"..thiru-meyya malaiyALA nE-ALa vaLai ALa mAttOAmEa' 3-6-9;
 
The commentary :
The bangle never remains in the wrist. When the Lord comes the wrist widens and the bangles gets broken to pieces.When He goes away, the wrist wanes and the bangles gets out of the hand and falls.
 
That is why, it is said:
 
"vaLai ALa mAttOAmEA"
