Reg nNappiNnNnai
From the Bhakti List Archives

I thought the reference was to Mahalakshmi. Here's why:
In Thiruppavai, Andal says:
nNappiNnNnai nNaNGkaay thiruvE thuyilezhaay
-----------------
ukkamum thattoLiyunN thanNthuvuNn maNaaLaNnai
ippothE emmai nNeeraattElOr empaavaai.
-there is a story which goes to say the gopikas are none other than great
sages who ardently worshipped Mahavishnu and longed to be with Him. Lord
Vishnu granted that in His incarnation as Krishna, they would be born as
Gopikas and will be able to fulfill their wishes. Every gopika is supposed to
be so mesmerized by his flute that she comes out regardless of the state of the
household chore or even the state of her dress to join Him and listen and dance
with Him; and Krishna took several forms of himself that every gopika was happy
that Krishna was dancing with her!
