SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesikaya namah:
Dearest srivaishnavas,
Gopikas are now waking up one girl, who is a great Bhakthai and who has 
intense desire to learn Bhagawath vishayams and tries to follow the 
Bhagawath, BhAgawatha niyamanam. She is enthusiastic at all times for 
Krishna ArAdhanai and enthuses others (Kothukulamudaiya paavaay). She is 
also extremely pretty and thEjasvI;

Oh pretty girl! Please get up.
Why are you waking me up?
Have you forgotten? We need to go to Yamnuna.
Should it not dawn for that?
It has already dawned. Look at the east. It has become slightly white. 
(indicating that the Sun is going to rise.)
Oh poor girls! This is the LordÂ’s luster spreading its glories on leelA 
vibhUthi as well. The Parama padham is ever Bright. TheLi visumbu 
Thirunaadu. This leelA vibhUthi is always dark (iruL tharumaa jnAlam). But 
with Krishnan born here, with the PerumALs at Divya Desam showing themselves 
so gracefully at srirangam, Kanchi, Thirumala and other places, how can 
there be darkness? That is the light which is always present. It has not 
dawned yet:-)

Oh Beautiful scholarly friend! You speak so well of Vedantham. But we do not 
know all that. We slept well; We got up middle of the night to see if it has 
become morning. Later when we heard some birdsÂ’ chirping, we realized that 
it is morning. The buffaloes are let out to eat the snow laden grass 
(panippul).
No. They are not buffaloes. The buffaloes need to go out of my home through 
my room only. They are ghosts or raakshasas whom you have wrongly understood 
as buffaloes. They may be dark clouds as well.
Oh Enthusiastci girl! If you do not come, KaNNan will never be happy. He 
will ask us as to where you are. We need to lower our heads. Even if there 
are 50 of us, it does not enliven the sathsangam. One zealous person like 
you can charm the whole atmosphere and make it more lively. Please get up.

Has everyone come?
Yes. Come and see for yourself. You can decide whom to take and whom to 
reject if you wish.
No. Everyone needs to come with us. We are going to perform ArAdhnam for 
KaNNan as Paramikaanthins, unlike the ayOdhyAvaais who prayed to demigods 
for the welfare of Rama (without knowing that he is the Parathvam)
Yes. Let us go quick and perform ArAdhanam to Him offering Him what is 
possible with our abilities, Padram, Pushpam, phalam, thOyam… anything – He 
gets pleased with what little we offer and grants Himself to us.
Maavaay piLanthaanay- He opens the horse mouths to feed them (before 
connecting them to chariot of Arjunan. He bathes them, washes them and then 
feeds them.

Mallarai maattiya- Not only does He fight victoriisly with wrestlers like 
channOran, Mushtikan, he also fights and kills DuryOdhana, Karnan, et al and 
further more, He destroys those (good ones) who support the enemies like, 
Bhishma, Dhronachar and others.
bhIshmam cha dhrONam cha jayathratham cha karNam thadhAnyApi yOdhamukhyAn |Â… 
poorva nimittha maathra, bhava savya saachin. ||
Krishna says in Viswaroopa adhyayam. He has already killed them before.
Also, who are the wrestlers , enemies? - Whoever says that He does not 
exist? Why should we pay obeisance to the Him? Whomsoever argues with 
Bhagawaan and BhAgawathas at all times are all wrestlers. He either corrects 
them or finishes them.

Also, those who say, He does not have any guNAs; he has no form; He has no 
patnI; He has no names; He is nirvisEsham; His Vedas are illusions; His 
world is an illusion; All other jives are illusions (except one); the 
acharya and the sishya are illusions etc.. He establishes all truths with 
his Gita upadEsam; surrender to Me.. I will grant You.. etc..
He says.. sthithOsmi kathasandhEha: ; karishyE vachanam thava: .. I will do 
as instructed by You. – Thus, He makes us believe the saasthric injunctions, 
- Such malaarai mattiya KrishNan
Devaadhi Devan- He is the God of all (demi) gods; he is the Master of 
Nithyasooris. Even the enemy camp BhIshma said: Deva varan. He is

Devaadhi Devan- Devaadhi raajan. Most merciful One- most compassionate one. 
If we go to Him with our legs, the legs have attained their fruits;
Of we fold our hands and perform anjali, the hands have done what requires 
to be done.
If we surrender, we have done what is to be done.
If we offer flowers uttering his divine names, the mouth, hands and body 
have done what need to be done.
We have done what needs to be done in this janmam.
That Deiva piLLai (the Lord) is so merciful that he values our small 
offering as the grandest and greatest one and exclaims “ahaaa” wow! How 
greatly these devotees come to me and pay their obeisance! (avaa enRu..) He 
is immensely pleased and grants what is in our minds (which is performing 
eternal service at His feet). He will give Himself to us and grant Saayujyam 
at SrivaikuNtam.
Also from Srimath Prakritham Azhagiya singarÂ’s book yErAr gUnamum yezhil 
uruvum:
Emperumaan Sriman narayanan's gaambeeryam is described as:

1. Not seeing at all the dhOshams of Asrithars - devotees-
2. Not showing that He knows their dhOshams
3. Not telling others (even PiraaTTi) that He knows their negative points 
and Not letting the devotees also know that He knows them and He appears as 
if He did not see or know
4. In addition, He praises to everyone the small positive traits of 
Bhagawathas to His parijanas and pariwaars

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.
