Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara MunayE namaha Sri Vanachala mahA munayE
namaha In the previous (19th) paasuram andal
expressed a slight anger towards nappinai for behaving against her trait and not
allowing them to join with krishna.
Still nappinnai remained silent waiting for the right opportunity to
recommend to krishna about the request of the gopis. Misunderstanding the reason for
nappinnai’s silence andal in the 20th paasuram, “muppaththu moovar amararkku mun sendru kappam tavirkkum
kaliyE!” first called for krishna. But realizing that they cannot attain
bhagavadanubavam without the support of nappinnai piratti, andal in the latter
half of the paasuram requested nappinnai to grand them the required objects for
their nombu along with krishna the most important requisite. (vukkamum
tattoliyum tandhun manalanai eppOdhE emmai
neerAttu) Vukkam means hand-fan (visiri);
tattoli means mirror; these objects can be taken and given in hand but
why is andal asking krishna also in the similar manner? That is because
emperuman makes himself to be a paratantran of his devotees. He is like an object in the hands of
nappinnai. Emperuman is sarva
svathantran but due to his love for his devotees he makes himself to be a
parathantran (dependent). So to
reach emperuman the easiest way is to fall to the feet of his devotees. One poet beautifully says, “If you want
to find chakravarthi thirumagan then search amidst scholars whereas if you want
to find krishna search in the saree folds of the aychees (edaichigal pudavai
talaipilE). Such is the sowlabhyam
of emperuman. (emmai) In the earlier
paasurams we saw the gopis awakening each other by calling “pEypennE” “pillAi”
“ananthaludaiyAi” etc now they have joined together and refer to themselves as a
group. They are all servants of
krishna. They consider krishna to
be their upayam and upEyam. Various
type of people surrender to the divine feet of emperuman. Some are bhakthas and other
prapannas. Even among the
prappannas there are druptha prappannas and Artha prappannas. The time they reach emperuman also
varies but after they reach the divine abode of emperuman there is no
differentiation. The bhagavat
anubhavam is common to all.
