Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

We saw rukmiNee also justifying her selection of her lover – "kEttadhaal vandha kaadhalai" justifying. Ok, after that – see next slokam – she says 'please accept me'.

 

thanmE bhavaan khalu vrutha: pathir anga jaayaam

aathmaa arpithasccha bhavathO~thra vibhO vidhhEhi |

maa veera bhaagam abhimarsathu chaidhya aaraadh

gOmaayuvan mrugha pathEr balim ambhuja aksha ||

 

meaning: "I (rukmiNee) have therefore chosen thee (krishNaa) as my husband and have offered myself to thee, oh, all-pervading one! Design to accept me as thy wife. O Lotus-eyed one! Do not allow the king of chEdhi to take me away, who is a property of thine. It would otherwise be like a jackal attempting to carry away the fare of the lion".

 

See the way the love message is conveyed – oral or written immaterial - it is done in a true business like manner or like a commercial transaction – perhaps business or human resource management experts have to learn on 'how to conduct business or how to recruit a person' from rukmiNee's love letter and her marriage for

 

– any business is done in following steps --

 

Same is available in 'rukmiNee kalyaaNam' also – now see the points – perfect business like -

[this venue fixing etc we will see in next post in detail thru bhaagavatha slokam and NT slokam]

 

Any other management point is not there or needed?

 

May be the exact 'commercial price'aspect is missing – since she herself is the 'goddess of wealth' 'mahaa lakshmee' – the offer 'price' is 'priceless'.

 

Coming to aaNdaaL – she also has done same thing – while offering herself she makes it very clear –

 

vaanidai vaazhum av vaanavarkku

maRaiyavar vELviyil vaguththa vavi

kaanidaith thirivadhOr ari puundhu

kadappadhum mOppadhum seivadhu oppa

oon idai aazhi sangu uththamarkku enRu

unniththu ezhundha en thada mulaigaL

maanidvrkku enRu pEchchup padil

vaazhagillEn

– naachchiyaar thirumozhi 1- 5

 

meaning: [as done by sri Sadagopan swamy of USA] ANDAL declares to kAman that if there is any talk of marrying her off to a human, she will not live any more. She makes her determination known to him thus: I have surrendered my body and soul to dvArakA nAthan; if any talk arises about making these belong to a human being, it would be equivalent to a forest fox smelling and licking the prasadam which has been offered to the devAs. Do not let this kind of apacAram happen anytime. If this untoward incident ever happens, I will not bear my life even for a second after that. Even you who are born to the Lord cannot tolerate this injustice. So, before anyone even so much as starts talking of marrying me off to a human without my knowledge or my Lord KaNNan's knowledge, please unite me with that Sankha-cakra dhAri.

 

Only a slight difference – rukmiNee said the food is kept for 'lion' – whereas aaNdaal says food is for dhEvaas, being offered in the yaagam being conducted by braahmaNas.

 

Note again – braahmaNa 'comes' in the love affair.

 

We will continue in next post
