SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, AzhwAr pours out his grief for not being able to enjoy the Kutti KaNNan (in Devaki?s role). He cries out through the media of Devaki by simulating emotions motherly tenderness to the child. AzhwAr feels (in the Devaki role) : You have got mothers [yasodha and puthanai] ; I am useless mother to You vancha mEviya nenchutaip pEychchi varaNtu naarn^aram pezhakkarin^ thukka nancha maar_tharu suzhimulai yanthO suvaitthu neeyaruL seythu vaLarnthaay kanchan naaLkavar karumuki lenthaay kataippat tEnveRi thEmulai sumanthu thancha mElonRi lEnuynthi runthEn thakka thEn^alla thaayaippeR RaayE 7.10 The demon Putanai came to you with a mind to kill You with her posison smeared breastmilk; She came to cheat you by posing as Yasodha and You made her fleshes come out and nerves weakened (through sucking her breast). Oh what a wonder! You sucked her round breast full of poison as if it is tasty (by your grace even poison becomes Amritam. You grew up with such wonderful deeds. You took away the life of Kamsa. Oh my Lord! resembling the most beautiful dark rain laden clouds! Even that demoness made use of her breasts and You sucked from hers. By having purposeless breasts, I stand useless. Except my life, I have nothing useful. You have got mothers (Yashoda and Putanai) befitting you. Let us enjoy Swami Desikan Gopala vimsathi referring to this incident of killing Putanai AAMNAAYA GANDHI RUDITA SPHURITAADHAROSHTAM AASRAAVILEKSHANAMANUKSHANA MANDHAHAASAM I GOPAALADIMBHAVAPUSHAM KUHANAAJANANYAA: PRAANASTHANANDHAYAMIVAIMI PARAM PUMAAMSAM II [From Sti Satakopan Swami?s article] I visualize and revere Sri Gopala as the Supreme Lord, who took the form of the child born in the cowherd family. He was not an ordinary baby. As he feigned fear at the sight of the approaching evil Puthanaa, he alternately cried and smiled. When he cried, his upper and lower lips quivered from that exertion. At that time, his sweet breath carried the fragrance of the Vedas. He also smiled in between his crying spells. His smile was over the thought of what he planned to do next with the deceitful Puthanaa. He not only helped himself with the poisonous milk from her breast, but also sucked her life through the very same act of responding to her cunning invitation to breast feed him. He drank at one swoop Puthana's milk and her life force and blessed her this way. This certainly is no ordinary child!
