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) :She, yasOdhA was blessed with everything. She even got the lovely, sweet kiss from you. maruvu niNnthiru neRRiyil sutti asaitha ramaNi vaayitai muttham tharutha lum,unRan thaathaiyaip pOlum vativu kaNdukoN tuLLamuL kuLira viralais senchiRu vaayitais sErtthu veguLi yaayn^inRu raikkummav vuraiyum thiruvi lEnonRum peRRilEn ellaam theyva nangai yasOthaipeR RaaLE 7.5 The movement of your curly black tresses falling over your face and the ornament (neRRi chutti) on Your forehead; kissing with your beautiful sweet mouth; the charming beauty of your body and face, resembling that of your father and enjoyed at that similarity; seeing and enjoying your childish pranks, feeling elated; placing and putting your fingers in your small reddish mouth; uttering rambling words with a quivering mouth, stammering when you are angry; I, the unfortunate one, have not experienced or enjoyed any of the above. Yashoda, the divinely blessed lady, equal to a celestial lady, experienced all of them. Everything of these incidents. Sri Muralidhar Rangaswami adds: This Pasuram is instructive in that Devaki offers tribute to Yashoda for the latter's Bhagyam for being privy to all the childhood pranks of Lord Krishna. The reference to celestial lady is in the context of the incident where Yashoda successfully tied up Lord Krishna to the mortar. It must be remembered that Yashoda tried several times in vain to tie up the Lord. Each time she tried, Yashoda found to her amazement that the rope was a little short. Determined to accomplish her mission, Yashoda lengthened the rope in every attempt only to find that the rope was not long enough. Exasperated in her efforts, and realizing the futility of her endeavor, Yashoda implored to the Lord to be bound (by way of scolding the child). Lo and behold! the rope was sufficiently long to tie up the Lord. Thus, Yashoda succeeded where even Parama Yogis, Devas and Maharishis came up short. Brahma, accompanied by the other Devas, Rishis, witnessed this incident and poured out tears of joy at the good fortune of Yashoda who had obtained the grace of Parama Purushan. One may also relate the Vishnu Sahasranamam salutation Agrahya Shashavata KrishNo to this incident.
