SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest All,

In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role
of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the
feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna
with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the
words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains in this decad. 

These special Rama Krishna avathArams have got a
sociality in them. The Sarvagnan,
SarvEshwaran, Sarva shakthan, the Supreme Lord- who is
unparalleled and Peerless- who has none equal to or
above Him? oppAril appan- ParamAthmA- PurushOtthaman-
Jagath kaarNanan; Jagath rakshakan- The Only One who
could grant mOksham [mOksha pradhan]; the Ultimate
enjoyment for NithyasUris and mukthAs at Srivaikuntam.
One can go on describing and extolling His positions,
Roopam, Swaroopam, vibhuthi (rulership) i.e. this
world [leelA vibhUthi] and Paramapadham [Nithya
vibhUthi], His innumerous kalyANa guNas? In spite of
such Greatest qualities, His dayA [compassion] is
Supreme and the most important One; manisarkaay-
padaathana pattu- For the sake of human beings- what
all troubles; briths (as avathArams) He undertakes. 

He takes the avathArams in the lowly human forms ? and
stoops down so low with such east accessibility to
illiterate Gopas, GopikAs, pasu (cows), pakshis
(jatAyu), monkeys, boatmen- hunters (Guha), et al. His
sowlabhyam [coming down so low] and sowseelyam [easily
accessible for all] is amazingly true and present in
such Greatest Parathvam?

He moved with everyone equally and attracted them all
with His sowlabhyam and sowseelyam. He is thus
possessed with the most wonderful gunAs ?namely
Sowlabhya, Sowseelyams. Rama is addressed as Gunvaan-
mentioning this gunA especially.

KrishnAvathAra sowseelyam is Ultimate and there is no
match for that. aRivonRum illAdha Aykulatthu- He
appeared in the group of cowherd folks who were
completely illiterate; having no saasthra jnAnam- did
not even know how to eat with right hand or left..
[idakkai, valakkai theriyaadha].. He mixed with them
as if He had been a cowherd Boy for ages and even
Devendran, Chathu mukha BrahmA were all misled. He
reared cattle; tendered calves; played with Gopa boys,
shared their food, taking a bite from their palms;
played with Gopikas and danced with them? He allowed
Himself tied down to a mortar by the illiterate Gopa
lady (YasodhA) and NammAzhwAr marveled as His such a
sowseelyam and fainted for about six months it is told
[etthiRam? etthiRam] .

This sowseelya gunA which can not be seen in anyone
else in such grandest proportion is the natural
swabhAvam for the Lord.. It is His one of His inherent
kalyANa guNa for the sake of us- due to His mercy,
dayA on us. How many of us understand that? Hardly
any. The Lord Himself says in GitA- avajAnanthi maam
mUDA! ?. Sa mahatma sudhurlabha:

Ravana talks lowly about Rama coming to the forest,
leaving His coronation for His younger brother;
Sisupalan talked in un-parliamentary language
(sudusol) about the deeds of KaNNan- as cowherd Boy.

avyaktham vyakthimApannam manyanthE maam abuddhaya: |
param bhAva majaanantha: mamaavyayam anutthamam ||

I, who was born as the son of Vaudevar, am being
considered as if born due to the bondage with Karma;
and they do not understand my supreme sowseelya guNaa.
The same holds good for all His avathArams. Without
understanding His true nature and guNAs, we (people)
talk low about His deeds performed during these
avathArams. Those who do that are foolish; and who
equate Him with them as humans and evaluate His
actions in their view point as humans.

Still, it continues. Even today such talking goes on.
Even sincere devotees sometimes get doubts on His
vaali vadham, Gopika dance etc.. The Lord Himself
tells Vaali: sookshuma: paramudhuehEya: Dharmam is
very subtle; it is not easily comprehensible. KaNNan
played with gopa sthrees ?But we, srivaishnavites,
should never get such thoughts about His such grandest
deeds. But it is essential to get our doubts cleared
so that we reinforce our devotion on Him stronger and
it grows from strength. We will have to get these
doubts cleared off. 

Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr?s nayaki bhaava
verses? 10th verse of the sixth decad. The last one in
this decad
 
alli malartthiru mankaikELvan
Rannai nayanthiLa vaaychchimaar_kaL
ellip pozhuthini lEmatthoodi
eLki yuraittha vuraiyathanai
kolli nagarkkiRai koodaRkOmaan
kulasE karanin NnisaiyilmEvi
solliya iNnthamizh maalaipatthum
sollaval laarkkillai thunpanthaanE   6.10

The youthful cowherd ladies longed to untie with
KaNNan, (the Lord of Mahalakshmi, born of red lotus
flower), and waited in the mid nights and wee hours
and Kulasekara immersed in that intense bhakti and
love of Gopikas, burst out with these words in above
verse. Those who recite these most beautiful rhyming
tamil verses would never ever get any sorrows or grief
for them.
