I happened to see my yahoomail after a long time and found this discussion about Nappinnai. I wanted to share a clarification about NAppinnai that I got from a Sanskrit Scholar. 
It seems Nappinnai comes from the Sanskrit word " Na + Binna" which basically means that who cannot be seperated. It means "Sri" or Lakshmi. However it is not clear if Nappinnai is another name for Rukmini who is considered as incarnation of LAkshmi. Can someone clarify?

Swami Desikan in his Yadavabhyudayam has reffered Nappinnai as Nila Devi of
the Bhagavatam, Hari Vamsam, Mahabharatam et al. The Vedanta Desika Research
society had published an english translation of Yadavabhyudayam.

Appayya Dikishita has also written a beautiful commentary on
Yadavabhyudayam.
