Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:
 
I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr proceeds to plead the Lord of
TirumalA for His unbounded limitless mercy that pours
out on His own -out of His Greatest compassion on us.
Let us enjoy this nice ten on AzhwAr's plea.

maanEymadanNOkkithiRatthu edhirvanNdha,
aanEzhvidaicheRRa aNivaraitthOLaa!,
thEnE! thiruvEngkadamaamalaiyE!,
kOnE! enmanam kudikoNdirunNdhaayE.    1.10.7

Oh Lord! The One who conquered the seven Oxen and
killed them for joining the deer-like eyed- most
beautiful Nappinnai PiraaTTi! The One who is so SWEET
like the Honey! (thEnE!) the King of ThiruvEmkatam!
You have come to reside permanently in my heart!  

Same incident is referred to by PeriyAzhwAr in his
Thirumozhi [1.6.7]
thuppudaiyayaar_kaLthamsolvazhuvaathu_orukaal
       ?_aadukasengeerai aayar_kaLpOrERE!
aaduka_aadukavE

Once, when playing with Gopikas, for getting Nappinnai
PiraaTTi (who is the most beautiful Peacock and the
dark haired girl), and making the words of cowherd
folks? true, He victoriously destroyed the seven
strong bulls and became the husband of pure hearted
Nappinnai PiraaTTi. For getting back the missing son
of VaidIka Brahmin from His own Paramapadham, He rode
the bright chariot to Paramapadham and brought back
the sons to the motherly figure, - wife of Brahmin. My
father! Dance for me. Aduga senkeerai Aduga AdugavE.

The cowherd folks right from his childhood decided
that Nappinnai PiraaTTi, the most beautiful One is
only for KaNNan and hence made such a tough test for
the Boys to get married to her so that none others can
do it. KaNNan only could do it. (Yaadhavaabhyudhayam-
4.98) 

Swami Desikan in his Yadavabhyudayam has referred
Nappinnai as Neelaa Devi of the Bhagavatam, Hari
Vamsam, Mahabharatam et al. The Vedanta Desika
Research society had published an English translation
of Yadavabhyudayam.

Appayya Dikishitar has also written a beautiful
commentary on
Yadavabhyudayam.
