8. keezh vaanam
 
      Here a girl who is Krishna's particular sweetheart is
      being woken up.She can be compared to NAMMAZHWAR (Krishna-
      trishna tatvam) the very embodiment of deep devotion to
      Sri Krishna.Her company is certain to accomplish their
      desire. KOTHUGALAMUDAYA PAVAAI! is a most beautiful form
      of address.
 
      "The horizon has become bright.Get up." say the girls.
      But she astonishes them by replying,"It is the lustre
      from your moon-like faces which has brightened the
      Eastern quarter.The day is yet to dawn."
 
      The second sign of daybreak mentioned in this stanza
      indicates that Andal has indeed been transformed into
      a gopi - "The buffaloes are fast dispersing in the
      fields searching for the tender green grass with the
      dew drops of dawn clinging to them.If we delay, Krishna
      would have followed them into the forest and our purpose
      would be lost."  This statement could not have come out of
      the lips of anyone other than a true cowherdess.So Andal
      has totally identified herself with a gopi,living with
      the cowherds and taking part in all their daily chores.
 
      Her father Sri Vishnuchitta was a learned Vedic authority
      and had even written a rule book for conducting sacrifices
      called Kalpa Sutra.He too assumed the role of Yasoda to the 
      extent of participating in every childish activity of
      Krishna.For this his daughter affectionately calls him,
      "Bhogattil Vazhuvada Puduvayarkon"(one who has not missed
      a single opportunity to enjoy Krishna).Now his daughter
      does the same.
 
      The conclusion is this: Only that caste is desirable,which
      is congenial for the enjoyment of God and which is calculated 
      to bring down His Grace on us.SRI LOKA DESIKA says in SRI
      VACHANA BHUSHANAM,"Periyazhvarum Tirumagalarum Gopa Janmattai
      Asthanam Panninargal."
