SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

After PeriyAzhwAr anubhavams, let us now continue on
his darling daughter GodhA PiraaTTi?s Naacchiyaar
Thirumozhi verses... on ThiruvEnkatam? [Extracted
from the most wonderful translation of Smt Kalyani
Krishnamachari based on Sri Sadagopan Swamin?s
treatise and acharyas? commentaries.]  

nAcciyAr tirumozhi VIII ? starts with viNNIla
mElAppu ? these ten verses are on ThiruvEnkatam. Let
us enjoy the sixth verse today.. 

Salam koNDu kiLarndu ezhunda taN mugilgAL!
mAvaliyai nilam koNDAn vEnkaTattE nirandu ERip
pozhivIrgAL !
ula~ngunDa viLankani pOl uL meliyap pugundu, ennai
nalam koNDa nAraNarkku en naDalai nOi SeppuminE

Translation (meaning) from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh
treatise: 

"Oh clouds that rise high carrying the cold and
soothing waters and who then deliver these waters on
the vE~nkaTa Hills which belong to the One who came in
the form of vAmana and got the three Feet of land from
mahAbali! Go and deliver the message to Him about the
miserable state in which He has left me. He has
totally entered into my thoughts and practically
drained me of all my life, and I am like a
viLAm-pazham which has been thoroughly drained of all
its inner contents by mosquitoes that have eaten away
the inside of the fruit leaving only the outside
shell". 

Additional thoughts from SrImAn SaDagOpan:
In the sixth pASuram, godai is narrating to the clouds
the very weak state of her health because of her
yearning for Lord vEnkaTavan. She says: 'My
vEnkaTavan, who is called "vAmana, vipra, mAyA mANava
and hari", asked mahAbali - "trINi padAnyEva vruNE
tvatvaradarshabhAt" - I need only three feet of land;
mahAbali agreed and lost the three worlds. Just as He
cheated mahAbali, entering into his yAgaSalai, He got
into me and usurped all my strength. I have become
like the viLAngani that have been eaten by big
mosquitoes; I look fine on the outside, but without
any strength left in me. He has completely depleted me
of my health; I cannot even stand straight and am
fainting constantly; please inform Him on my naDalai
nOi (disease caused by deception, or just general
weakness); may be, then, He will come to see me".

Additional thoughts from SrI PVP:

Salam koNDu kiLarndu ezhunda taN mugilgAL: Just as
some people add cardamom and other spices to water and
keep selling in the streets, shouting  "Elakkuzhambu,
Elakkuzhambu", these clouds are picking up the waters,
rise up and wander all over the sky. 

(Additional note from SrI kr*shNasvAmi aiye~ngAr: The
implication here is: "you undertake so much pain to
carry all the waters and without expecting anything in
return, you give to others. In the same way, you must
help me by fulfilling mydesire"). 

taN mugilgAL: "your appearance itself is soothing; do
you have to rain in addition?" (SrI kr*shNasvAmi
aiye~ngAr: "You, who can soothe with just appearance,
must ward away mydifficulties").

mAvaliyai nilam koNDAn vEnkaTattE: "you live in the
place where He came to beg for the sake of the dEvA-s
and help them. Shouldn't you be helping me? I am not
sending you to an aSuran like mahAbali. I am only
sending you to nammai uDaiyavan nArAyaNan". Erip
pozhivIrgAL: In the tannIrp pandal where water is
offered to the thirsty on a very hot day, there will
be a vessel called SAikaragam kept in a high place and
from the opening in the vessel, water will be falling
down to the face level. This is in an indication to
people coming from a distance that water is available
there. Just like that, the clouds climb high up in the
sky and pour down the rain.

Ula~ngunDa viLAnkani pOl uL meliyap pugundu: ulan~gu
is a kind of huge mosquito. As they make contact with
the outside of the shell of vilAmpazham, they drain
the juice inside completely. Similarly, emperumAn
embraced godai and in the process stole away her
health, her thoughts, her bangles and everything else
from her. 

nAraNarkku en naDalai nOi SeppuminE: 

nAraNan denotes vAtsalyam; "Ask Him about His name
denoting vAtsalyam on the one hand, and the distress
which I am undergoing because of Him on the other, and
ask Him how the two can be consistent. If He had this
naDalai nOi involving oscillating between standing,
sitting, falling down, getting up, etc., because of
the separation, He would not wait for me to have to
send this message. So this is only MY naDalai nOi. Go
and tell Him about my desperate state

what a wonderful anubhavam of ANdAL! How beautifully
Smt KalyaNi Krishnamachari has written the above..
Thanks to her for sharing her article.

nAraNan also means the one who has the jeevan and
achith as His sareeram.. If He does not take care of
His sareeram [i.e. AndAL] who else would take care?

AndAL ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
