SrI:
 
Dear KrishNa BhakthAs :
 
The image of VeNugOpAlan generating
delectable music at BrundhAvanam
saluted in the previous slOkam persists
in the mind's eye of LeelAsukhar . Propelled
by this enchanting image , LeelAsukhar
commands his tongue to engage in talking
about the glories of Lord KrishNa .The key
words of this slOkam are :"gOpakanyA-
bhujangam Tamm kaTaya"( Oh My tongue !
Please speak about the Lord , who was 
the object of desire of the young girls of 
BrundhAvanam ) .
 
SlOkam 2.6

Meaning and Commentary
*********************************
Oh my tongue ! Please occupy Yourself
speaking about the glories of KrishNa ,
who is the object of love of the gOpis !
This request/command to the tongue
( Rasanaa) is to speak and sing about
the glories of the flute playing GopAla-
KrishNan . This appeal to the tongue reminds
me of SadAsiva BrahmEndrAL's krithi
" Bruhi MukundhEthi rasanE " , where
he requests his tongue to speak about
Mukundhan .
 
LeelAsukhar tries to persuade his tongue
to undertake the requested task by
explaining the auspicious attributes of
the Lord engaged in generating the divine
music while moving around the groves
and fields of BrundhAvanam herding
the assembly of cattle ( gavAm Brundham
BrundhAvana-bhuvi chArayantham gOpa-
KanyA bhujangam Tamm , RasanE , kaTaya ). 
 
Oh my tongue ! speak gloriously about
the Lord filling His flute slowly slowly
with delectable svarams to generate
His enchanting VeNu ghAnam ( mandham
mandham madhura ninadhai: vENum
Aapoorayantham Tamm kaTaya ) . 
 
Oh my tongue ! Please dwell on the joyous
aspects of this madhura ghAnam resulting
from the emanation of the intricate assembly
( kOrvai) of svarams coaxed ever so gently
from His flute by the Master Flute player .
 
Oh my tongue ! Please speak about His glories
as the destroyer of the foes of Indhran and
the DevAs ( Sathamakha mukha dhvamsinAm
Tamm KaTaya ) . 
 
Oh my tongue ! Our Lord is not only a traveller
in the land of BrundhAvanam ( BrundhAvana
bhuvi chArantham ) but He is also the One
travelling in the land of Upanishads , the crown
of the VedAs( ChAndhObhAgE charantham).
Please speak about that aspect of His
frequent travels too ( ChAndhObhAge
charantham Tamm KaTaya) in your adoration !
