SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

There have been tremendous encouragement for aDiyEnÂ’s rambling. The credit 
goes to the divinely beautiful commentary of Srimath Mukkur azhagiya 
SingarÂ’s and the great pAsuram of ThiruppAvai.

TodayÂ’s verse: PuLLum silambina kaaN.. Sri KrishnaÂ’s great bhakthai 
(devotee) is woken up. She is sleeping.
Girls: (including AndAL): The time has come for us to go to Yamuna. Still 
you are sleeping. Get up and come out.
Friend: Who said it has dawned?
G: The antharyami roopan(in dweller) in our heart yold us. He helps us as He 
knew that we talked yeaterday about going to Yamnuna and then perform 
Krishna ArAdhanam. He aids jeevathmaÂ’s actions.
Who is He?

He is the bird (puL in Tamil). puLLum silambina..
In Vedas, it is told that he is the bird. SarIra is a tree. Two birds live 
there. One of the birds having the tree as its abode is the jeevatma. The 
jeevatma is bound in an interminable cycle of births and deaths, and passes 
through each life enjoying the fruits of its good deeds (puNya) and 
suffering from the bad ones (papa). The other bird in the tree, the 
non-eating spectator, is the Paramatma. The Lord, in His infinite mercy, 
resides along with the jeevatma (as his inner dweller) in the perishable 
body, filled with blood, bones and refuse. However, He does not partake of 
the pleasures, and remains untouched and untainted by Karma.

That bird (Lord) told us.
What did that say?

Is it right to sleep like this? Is it laziness? Even if you do not perform 
dhanurmAsa Aradhana, it is paapam to sleep during the dawn time (How many of 
us do this papam?:-) ) – It reminded us of. So, we hurried to wake you up.
Why is that bird so concerned about us?
Because He lives all the time with us to save us- to carry out what the 
thought of Jiva is- and if it is good, He happily executes them and provides 
all help to get it done by us. smruthO yacchathi sOpanam.
It must be in your dream- He work you up.

So what? Dream- is True in our Siddhanatham. Come get up.
Also, He is the One who rushed on GarudA (another Bird) to save Gajendra- 
grAhagrasthEÂ… one feather of this Bird (PerumAL): Blemishless- akhilahEya 
prathyaneekan-; another is AnanthakalyANa guNa paripoorNan.
Okay. Did you at least not hear the Conch shellÂ’s divine sound from the 
temple? This is built By Nandha gOpan. Small Boys happily recite Vedas 
there. CanÂ’t you hear? It is not some Devaanthara temple. It is the 
PuLLariayan temple. (Garuda vaahananÂ’s temple)

Also, the scholars, Sages, and elders got up and loudly Utter “Hari: Hari:.. 
in the wee hours. [One should utter loudly Hari: Hari: seven tiems when 
waking up in the morning and prays to Him for making us perform Kaimkaryam - 
Nithya, naimittika karma, AgnyA, anugnyA karmA with no hurdles- and with 
Saathvika thyaagam- Sriman Narayanan Preethyarttham]
Which avatar they are talking and contemplating – Go and ask them. [Till 
then, let me sleep?]

They meditate and think of Hari- KrishNan- who sucked the breasts of Pey 
(Poothana), kicked the wheel asura;- He is Parama Purushan.
Then, why are you saying the One who reclines on Snake in the waters.. 
(veLLattharavil thuyil amarndha vitthinai)

It is also Sri Krishnan, Dear friend.. He is the One who jumped into the 
pond where the huge KaaLingan was ruling and the whole pond was poisonous. 
The moment he stepped on it, the snake with its huge body engulfed the small 
ThirumEni of KaNNan and He was unconscious (pretended) with the poisonous 
air exhaled from the snakeÂ’s 1000 heads. Thus, He was reclining on the snake 
in the pond. He is Sri Krishnan. [Incidentally, He is the Only One- 
Ksheeraabdhi Nathan as well]
Also, he is the SEED. Cause and Creator of everything and everyone.
Also, anganaam angaanam antharE MaddhavO- Maadhavam Maadhavam antharE cha 
anganaa.
Between every two Gopikas, there was Krishna- Between every two Krishna, 
there was Gopika. – playing Raasa leela in circle. Thus, This Sri Krishnan 
is the SEED of all those Sri Krishnans [with whom we will play]
No He is already there in our dream. Why should I open my eyes?
Oh dear. The dream will disappear when you wake up. Now here is reality. 
Real KrishNan. Come and let us go. Hurry. Let us pefrom ThiruArAdhanam for 
KrishNan and get the anuroopa phalam.

The friend realizes and gets up- pays her praNamams, seeks forgiveness from 
the Bhagawathas for keeping them waiting.
What a great anubhavam by Srimath Azhagiya Singar!

If there is any merit, the credit goes to the great commentary by Srimath 
Azhagiya Singar. Any errors / mistakes are due to my lack of understanding.
