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) : Please bless me
with those wonderful childhood leelas that you
performed.

11. Lord in the Krishna Avataram helped Kamsa, the
King of wealthy and great Madhura, to attain bliss. In
this Avataram Krishna's limitless and extraordinary
exploits could not be seen by Devaki even though she
gave  birth to him. These Tamil songs bringing out the
melancholy of Devaki was sung by Kulashekara, the king
of Kolli, who adores the feet of the Lord as an
ornament on his head, in a sweet tune. Those who
recite these songs with understanding will attain
Vaikuntam, the abode of Lord Narayana.

Let us conclude this decad with Srirangam Sri TS
Sundararajan Swami?s wonderful write up (extract) on
Krishna name..

'karshati iti krshNah' [enchanter, therefore krshNa].
Who can ever have his heart's content in speaking of
krshNa? To think of krshNa is like spending an evening
on the sea-shore;  one cannot measure the sea nor know
everything about it, but facing the sea of an 
evening yields its own fulfilment.   Some of the
Lord's roles came to my mind vividly, and I composed a
modest 'anushTubh' which I offer humbly to the
bhAgavata-s:

   "krshNAya vAsudEvAya gItA-SAstra-pradAyinE
    dEvakI-priya-bAlAya rukmiNyAh patayE nama:"

vAsudEva was not only His name as the Absolute, it was
the name most dear to Him too:  "vAsudEvas-sarvamiti 
sa mahAtmA sudurlabhah!" 

The Lord's gift of the gItA is forever, and would be a
single sufficient gesture of His love for His
creatures. The SrIkrshNa-charama-SlOkam [sarva-dharmAn
parityajya] should be the anchor-sheet of our career
through life.

The sacred name of dEvakI establishes the Lord's 
"paratva" identity itself in the ChAndOgya upanishad 
[3:16:6]:  "ghOra Angirasa said, Be it for krshNa the
son of dEvakI, and became rid of his cravings."  
Hence the sahasra-nAma listing of this name, 

  "Atma-yOnih svayam jAtah vaikhAnah sAmagAyanah
   dEvakInandanah srashTA kshitISah pApanASanah."

Thanks to Sri TS Sundararajan swami.
