Nandhan peRap peRRa nambE!
The Honour of being Born to Nandhan
The lines 'Nandhan pERap pERRa nambE' appear in the first pAsuram of the foruth thirumozhi of the tenth ten
'Chanda malr kuzhal thAzha..
nandhan pERap peRRa nambE.."
Thirumangai AzvAr empathises with YasOdhai and talks about Sri KrshNA like this
"Nandhan pERap peRRa nambE!
Instead of just telling Nandhan pERRa nambE!
Why should she add Nandhan pERa pERRa nambE!
For Nanda Gopan it is a great honour to get Sri KrshNA as his son.
For Sri KrshNA getting born itself is a big privilege. How?
For samsAri-s not being born is a great privilege.
However, for ParamAthmA -who is not born normally- Being born itself is a privilege
So it is a 'BAgyam' for both.
PERap pERRa thus is for both Lord KrsNA and Sri NandAgOPar
Nandan pERap peRRa nambE!
