KOODAAARAI VELLUM SEER
Sri Krishna,after hearing their list
of articles needed for
the vow said- "O girls! If
there is a God equal to Me then you
may find a conch equal to my
Paanchajanya.You have asked
for 'many conches'I can give the
conch blown at the temple
PULLARAYAN KOIL you mentioned in
St.6,and the one I used
to blow to bring back the cattle
from grazing and my
Paanchajanya.
"As regards PARAI - I can give
the kettle drum JAAMBAVAAN
beat when I measured the whole
universe; and the huge drum
beaten to celebrate my victory at
Lanka;and the big one I
tie to my waist to attract all girls
to my dance of the
pots (Kudakkoottu).
" PALLAANDU ISAIPPAAR - are
your father Sri Vishnuchittar
and Sri Nammaazhwaar.
" KOLAVILAKKU - is Nappinnai;
KODI - Garuda;and VITAANAM
(canopy) is Ananta.Are you satisfied
? Now you may go."
Gopis - "These are for the
observance of our vow.But
after the vow we have to receive
certain honours.They
are exclusively for us.You have to
give them to all
to us."
This is the prayer of ANDAL in this
paasuram;the inner
meaning being MUKTA BHOGA - the
delivered soul's
enjoyment in the Lord's company at
Sri Vaikuntha.
Incidentally Andal leaves a message
for posterity.The
Lord can punish a soul for a wrong
only if the the soul
is not prepared to take refuge unto
Him i.e., only as
long the soul is bent on protecting
himself by himself.
The moment he accepts His
protection, the Lord cannot
punish him for his sins.This is the
means to secure a
victory over him.This is the inner
meaning of the first
line KOODAARAI VELLUM SEER.For ex:
1)Parasurama,instead
of confronting Rama with a bow and
losing,could have
come with clasped hands,and
won.This,perhaps he was not
aware of. 2) Ravana was allowed by
Rama to get back to
his palace when he had lost
everything and stood there
unable to defend himself.He came
back the next day fully
furnished with with chariot and
weapons,and lost his
life.Had he come without weapons he
could have conquered
Rama.Gopis won Him over by their
humble submission to
Him.
The ornaments referred to in this
stanza are ornaments
not only for the body but the soul
also.The food (SORU)
is the Lord; ghee and milk are His
virtues (KALYANAGUNA).
MUKTA BHOGA is the quintescence of
this stanza.
