SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all, 

Todayâs verse is the 21st verse. Let us continue to enjoy the wonderful 
commentary of His Holiness Srimath Paravakkottai Andavan of Sri Poundarikapuram 
Swami ashramam, Srirangam â translated into English by Sri CG Balaji Swami. 

ERRa kalaNGkaL ethir poNGki mIthaLippa *
maaRRaathE paalcoriyum vaLLal perum pacukkaL *
aaRRap pataiththaan makanE aRivuRaay *
URRam utaiyaay periyaay * ulakinil
thORRamaay ninRa cutarE thuyilezhaay *
maaRRaar unakku valitholain^thu un vaacaR kaN *
aaRRaathu van^thu un ati paNiyumaa pOlE *

When the Gopis continued waking up Nappinnai, she finally
woke up and came out to speak to them. She said, âOh Gopis, in
enjoying a blissful communion with Kannan, I shall be one
amongst you. So let us all unite together and plead unto Kannan.â

ERRa kalaNGkaL ethir poNGki mIthaLippa *
maaRRaathE paalcoriyum vaLLal â In Ayirpadi, the huge vessels
that were used to receive the milk from the cows, were overflowing.
How many ever vessels be used, the result remained the same. The
cows too had the virtue of munificence and generosity similar to
Kannan. The cowherds would take the fills of milk in vessels, but
even if they did not do that, the cattle out of abundance would
continue to give milk continuously. These cows that give floods of
milk in great opulence are similar to the rivers that give sweet
potable water to the habitats and like the trees that bestow
delicious fruits. Due to the divine touch of Kannan, these cows
looked as gigantic as elephants. Nandagopan was one such
chieftain who had received innumerable cows of such kind free of
cost. Oh Kannan! The son of the noble Nandagopa! if not for
becoming the heir to Nandagopa, how would all this assets and
chattels be inherited by you? Andal says that though the Lord is
the master of the entire universe that is in his possession, yet, the
most befitting thing about Kannan is that He is the master of the
entire chattels of Nandagopan.

maganE ! ARivuRaay â âIt is surprising that the all-pervasive and
the all-knowing like you should be made to realise it with such
difficulty. You are perhaps waiting for all those people who are yet
to come and so are enjoying a good sleep. Are you still in your
slumber Oh Lord! Wake upâ.

Here Andal uses the term âaRivuRaayâ instead of âyezhundhiraayâ.
The inherent virtues of the Lord like compassion, humility,
forbearance was worth nothing at places like Srivaikuntham, the
supreme abode and Ksheerasagaram, the milky ocean. âYou
incarnated amongst us just to make sure that you had an
opportunity to exhibit all these noble virtues. If you do not come to
us and exhibit those virtues, then they would be as good as being
absent. Think it over Oh Lord!â says Andal.

OORRamudaiyaayâ âOh Kannan, you are a servant to the
subservient. Out of compassion for all of us, you have taken this
form in this world. All the petals of a lotus are always facing each
other. You know that you are indeed the final purport that is put
forth by the imperial Vedas. You therefore are â__R,_Fâ, the
supreme one whose limits are not known even by the mighty
Vedasâ.

OORRamudaiyaay periyaay ! â âWhoever resorts to your lotus feet, have been 
assured of your protection. 

You dissuaded the likes of Sugriva and others from hindering the granting of 
refuge to Vibhishana. 

You therefore have the capacity to bring your words to
fruition. Though you bestow everything upon your subjects, you are
yet dissatisfied with it. Your glories are crowned many times when
you bestow on them the fruits of goodness that befit your immense
glories. When the soiled water is made free of mud and dirt, then
what remains below is the pure potable water. Similarly if we
remove the vision of our physical eyes that is replete with the
blemishes of desire, anger, greed, passion, pride and jealousy and
see only through the eyes of our unsullied knowledge, then it is
possible to see you in everyoneâs heart in your complete divine and
magnificent form.â

Ulaginil thORRamaay ninRa sudarE â âYou may be grasped by the profound 
teachings and esoterical purports put forth by the
imperial Vedas, Itihasas and Puranas. You are also the brightest
light that may be realised by all the sentient orders like the
humans, animals, birds etcâ.
sudarE â âYour incarnation amidst us resembles a blemish less
jewel stone that lies amidst a heap of cow dung. thuyilezhaayâ 
If you do not come to us now, will not all those glories be of no value?â

maaRRaar unakku vali tholiandhu unvaaRkaNN aaRRaadhu vandhu un aDi 
paNiyumaapOlE pOtriyaam vandhOm pugazhndhu_: â The adversaries of
your devotees, under the flood of your unfavourable grace, after
finding no other resort, would come to your lotus feet finally. We on
the other hand have resorted to the shadow of your lotus feet
having fully realised your inherent divine attributes like
compassion, mercy and unassuming humble nature. Unlike
Kakasura, who sinned towards Piratti and finding no refuge and
solace even after rounding all the three worlds, resorted to your
lotus feet finally, we have been drawn towards you by the power of
your divine virtues and glories. We came here to sing you a song of
dawn like Periyazhwar, who sang you the famous Thiruppalandu.
Our unwavering faith in you brought us to you with no doubts in
our minds as to the fulfilment of our goals.

A preceptor imparts all the essential purports of the esoterical
knowledge to a true disciple who resorts to his feet and takes up
his servitude. This is the hidden purport of this verse
