SrI:Dear SrI. Srinath,1) Most of the taniyans dedicated to prabhandhams take cue from an essential pAsuram. Acharyas say that bhattar took cue from the 19th pAsuram, while composing this verse.2) Please go thro' SrI u.vE Velukkudi swamin's reply to Sow. Nappinnai in this regard : http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ ramanuja/ archives/ apr03/msg00034. html dAsan

Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] Re: Would like to know who is "napinnai nangai"?Dear Sri Mukundan,On your last point on Nappinnai..Bhattar in his thaniyan "neeLa thunka sthana...., he talks about Krishna who is sleeping on top of neeLadevi; whereas Sri Andal describes the scene as Krishna sleeping on top of nappinnai in 19th pasuram and maps nappinnai with thiruvE in 20th pasuram. Why neeLadevi is mapped with thiru who is peria piraatti? And why did Bhattar sing differently? Is there any reason?Please englighten.Thanks,Srinath

Dear Smt.Anuradha,
1) In many Aahwar pasurams, we see a mention about 'nappinnai' or 'pinnai'
2) Yasodha had one brother called 'kumbhan' and his daughter was
'nappinnai' (so, she was the 'muRai-p-peN' for Krishna..:-) )
3) Kumbhan placed a condition that only the person who could win over
his seven bulls could marry Nappinnai, which obviously was achieved by
SrI Krishna. This incident has been mentioned in many pasurams of
azhwars.
4) AzhwAn, bhattar and Swami desikan have ascertained that this
'nappinnai' is the avatAram of 'nILA dEvi' thAyar.
5) bhattar's taniyan for thiruppavai ... 'nIla tunga stana girithaDi
..' is based on 19th pAsuram of thiruppavai : 'kuthtuviLakkeriya
kOTTukkAl kattilmel... nappinnai kongaimEl vaiththu-k-kiDantha
malarmArbA ...'
6) 'nappinai nangAi thiruvE !' is also from SrI Andal. Whatever
nILadevi is doing in Srivaikuntam was exhibited during Krishnavataram
in Her role as nappinnai, as ascertained in the above pAsuram of SrI
Andal.
Hope this helps.
