SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all, 

Todayâs verse is the 27th 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. 

koodaarai vellum seer Govindhaa* un^thannaip

kUti irun^thu kuLirn^thu ElOr empaavaay. (2)    27.

The Gopis had stumbled upon their biggest ever
accomplishment having obtained the company of the invaluable
supreme soul, Kannan in solitude. They answer to the question
from Kannan as to their needs.

Koodaarai vellum seer Govindhaaa !  â You should shower your affection on us 
similar to the way you shower compassion on the cattle. 

We should indeed drown in the ocean of your compassion
without reaching the shore. Even in your previous incarnations,
you have won over all those who have been your sworn enemies,
those who ran against you with the might of their strength or the
might of their penance. You have given yourself to us after all this.
Many a suitors tried in vain to win the hand of Sita by stringing the
mighty Shivadhanus. You came as Sri Rama and strung the bow
with power, only to break it and bring the heads of the other suitors
down in shame. Oh Krishna, who won the hand of Sita, pray
shower your benevolence on us.

The adversaries quote that the world is a delusion. The reality
is void alone. There are no celestial worlds. There are no
Jeevathmans. The supreme exists neither. Everything perceivable is
only an illusion. You by means of your imparts through the
Bhagavad Githa, have refuted all these adversaries thoroughly. Oh
Govinda! You have affirmed with clarity that everything perceivable
is absolutely true and real. You are one who has won over your
adversaries with arrows and weapons. At the same time, with your
affection, mercy, beauty and high-mindedness you have also won
those devoting themselves to your lotus feet. We have been
observing this nombu ritual for the past twenty-six days. You are
our sole object of attainment and means of attainment. Pray you
along with your consort Nappinnai, bestow upon us the highly
acclaimed merit that befits us duly. 

Unthannai paadi paRaikoNdu yaam peru sammaanam naadu pugazhum parisinaal 
nanRaaga  they said.
Kannan then asks as to what merits are they aspiring for.
The Gopis reply, âWhen Sri Rama was about to be crowned,
Sita came down till the doors and garlanded Him with her beautiful
glances and saw Him through. Sri Rama then removed His garland
and decorated Sitha with it. We seek such merits from you Oh
Kannaâ.

soodakamE thOLvalaiyE thOdE sevippoovE paadgamE enRanaiya palkalanum yaam 
aNivOm  â 
The wonderful hands that do service to
your lotus feet, need to be bejewelled with bangles that are
enmeshed with the finest of all the nine gems. The hands that
cuddle you need to be adorned with the finest of shoulderlets. You
adorn the makarakundalas (ear rings) on your ear. To match the
greatness of these, you should bestow a pair of diamond earrings to
the beautiful ears that listen to your sweet flute all the time. These
ears should be decorated with flowers (chevippoovu) as well. You
would touch our feet during the observance of ammi midiyal during
our holy matrimony. Such legs need to be decorated with the
ornament of jingles (paadagam). You should thus grant us with all
the jewellery that we seek. Women decorate themselves with jewels
before clothing themselves. For this we need finest and fragrant
most silk attires worn by you.

Kannan then says âBut I do not possess so much to be given
to all of youâ.

The Gopis say, âPray get us our attires from the same place
from where you granted Draupadi with rolls and rolls of attire,
when she pleaded unto you taking your holy names like Krishna,
Govindaâ.
Adhan pinnE paaRsoRu mooda ney peydhu muzhankai vazhivaara koodiyirundhu â 
Until we attained you, we were determined not to take ghee or milk and not to 
decorate our tresses with fragrant flowers. 

But we have won you now. From now on, we shall bejewel
ourselves, wear grand silk attire, get our tresses decorated by you
with flowers and we shall relish the sweetness and delicacy of
ksheeraannam (milk rice) and take great delight in enjoying your
unending company with us. The milk rice should look like as if
being taken out after having dipped in a trough of ghee. While
relishing it, the ghee should drip down the wrist till the elbow. We
should enjoy the supreme bliss with you here, similar to that which
is enjoyed by the nityas and the muktas in Srivaikuntham with you
Oh Sriman Narayana
