Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Sri TCA Venkatesh, Accept my pranams. The question was not related to doubting the equivalence of nappinnai(AymagaL) and nILAdEvi. But related to why ANdAL had referred to nappinnai as "puruShakAram" when rukmiNi was the chief queen and also why Sri ParAshara bhattar's thaniyan starts with "nILAthunga" and if nappinnai and rAdhA are the same. NammAzhvAr also says in TVM 2.9.10 "EREl Ezhum venRu ErkoL ilangaiyai* nIRE seidha nedunjudarjothi!* thus referring to nappinnai and sita and also in TVM 1.7.8 "ennai negizhkkilum ennudai nalnenjath thannai* agalvikkath thAnumkillAn ini* pinnai nedum vaNaiththOL magizhpIdudai* munnai amarar muzhumudhaLAnE. (PerumAL can not leave NammAzhvAr because N is a slave to mother Nappinnai). Seek forgiveness for "rough" translation. AzhvAr EmperumAnAr JIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai
