SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,
His thuzhaay garland, the coolness of the garland, the fragrance and the honey
dripping from the garland captivated my senses and sense organs. Could it be
brought from the aprAkrutha lOkam, Srivaikuntam i.e. Paramapadham- I wondered.
When I asked Him, He responded, it comes from His own divya desam Srirangam. He
had mentioned Thiruvaali for easy access in the earlier verse and now mentions
the #1 divya desam Thiruvarangam. Nayaki describes the way she saw and enjoyed.
uLLoorum sindhain^Oy enakkE thandhen
oLivaLaiyum maan^iRamum koNdaa ringE,

kaLL oorum â honey soaked and dripping
painthuzhaay maalaiyaanai â cool thuLasi garlanded Lord
kanavidatthil â saw Him at this transitory (non-permanent) place;
uL oorum chinthai pOi â the bhagavad vishayam that was happening and dancing
in my mind â such a disease
enaakkE thandhu â granted me that rarest blessing to me and me alone;
en oLivaLaiyum maaniRamum ingE koNdaar â unable to bear with it, my shining
bright bangles (wrist bands) and the beautiful color of my body (became paler)
â He snatched them away from me;
then oorum iLam thengin thERal â crystal clear honey from the coconuts are
drunk by
maandhi sEl ugaLum- the fattened fishes jump with joy (in cauveri)
thiruvarangam num oor enna- such a place Thiruvarangam is the place for Me and
you â said He; (when He responded thus, I asked Him)
puL oorum kaLvaa! â Oh thief! The One who rides on Garuda pakshi!
nee pOgEl â You donât go away!
enban â I said.
enRaalum namakku idhu Or pulavidhaan â Though I had said that, this gives
both of us grief.
Lord's statement to Parakala Nayaki that Srirangam is the residence of you and
Me. His theft of Naayaki's bangles and her color. Nayaki begging Him not to
leave her
The honey dripping thuzhaay garland is cool and fragrant and even to see the
same is so freshening. Seeing Him and talking to Him was like the deram. Like
GodhA, perhaps AzhwAr (Parakala nayaki) had similar dream. Or it could have
really happened and He would have surely appeared in front of Nayaki and
responded. Since it happened in the middle of the street, it is not sThiram
(permanent).
I thought this is all dream. He responded saying the thuzhaay is very much
comes from Thiruvarangam. And also mentioned the greatness of Thiruvarangam.
Even fishes drink the coconut waters and get fatter and thus is the most
fertile place.
That is our placeâ namadhidam. It is our place- He responded. Saying that, He
climbed on Garuda and began to move. He did not bid goodbye. I only asked Him
to stay back, âoh thief _ kaLvaa! Donât go awayâ. He has stolen my
bangles, my beautiful color (and hence have become paler). Perhas He may have
thought to say, âIf You donât want to come with me, You may come stay back
here in Thiruvarangam (arthaiva srirangE sukhamAsva)â. At least He could have
given a leaf from that garland. He has blessed me with this disease of pasalai
nOi (of being unable to bear His separation). For Gopa sthrees, at least there
are very many of them and hence they can share their grief and console each
other. What would I do alone? There is none like this here.
Oh friend! At least you are fortunate to be with me. You are able to realize my
pitiable state. Though you are not (yet) His nAyaki, You appreciate my grief.
You feel bad for me and understand the severity of the disease. Hence this
disease is applicable for both of us, unparalleled. What will I do?
Though all these happened in the past, Parakala nayaki addresses as if it is
happening in the present tense. Enban; kaaNban.
