THE SECRET BEHIND THE SMILE
THE JOYOUS SMILE

It is customary to observe smile emanating after seeing an happy thing. On 
seeing ones wishes fulfilled or on the verge of it, the smile takes place. The 
joy is expressed in the form of a smile.

However, what happens when a smile comes out even before the wish is 
fulfillled. Well, we can presume that the smile is displayed on an expectation 
of the joy. This is of course,only a presumption.

Who can but swAmi nam-piLLai can actually surmise the real reason behind such 
smile, preceding the actual joyous act.

When is this? nappinnai pirAtti was looking on with expectation while Lord 
krshNA came up to conquer the seven bulls.AzhwAr says " Lord krshNA conqured 
these seven bulls for the sake of smiling nappinnai pirAtti" Logically, the 
smile should be after and not before the onerous task of conquering the bulls. 

What is the secret behind this joyous smile, even before Lord krshNA has 
embarked on His brave act.

Edu is very clear on this aspect: "nambi mUtha pirAn muRpada vandhu kittina 
vidathil ivan thalaiyil veRRi kidandhAl seivadhen? enRu veRuppAlEa avAnmukiyAi 
irundhAL. krshNan vandhu thORRinavArEa, prethi prakarhsathAlEa smitham 
paNNinAL. appOdhaiya pazhuppu irunddhapadi'

nappinnai pirAtti was with remorse thoughts. What would happen if sri 
bala-rAmar comes and conquers these seven bulls? were here thoughts which 
pushed her into her shell and her countence wore a desrted look. On seeing Lord 
krshNa appearing for this purpose, her face lit with radiance and she smiled 
and the smile resulted in a tanninsh brown colour-pazhuppu

"kOvai vAyAL poruttu YEaRRin irutham iruthai.." 4-3-1; thiru-voi-mozhi;

kOvai vAyAL-The secret behind the joyous smile.
