SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

20th verse- muppatthu moovar amararkku muncheNru kappamÂ…
First, they performed Purushaakaara (recommendation) prapatti- surrender to 
Nappinnai. Later they performed prapatti to both Nappinnai and KaNNan for 
the fruits that they wanted (i.e. KaNNan Himself). Somehow, the fruit has 
not come yet. Why? Purushaakaara prapatti and Phalasiddhi – why have they 
not materialized? They are asking KaNNan and Nappinnai. Sri Krishnan Himself 
declared in GitA in his own words though this Saranagathi is mentioned in 
Vedas as well.

hEy KrishNA! The One who appeared to dispel the fears (bhayam- Kappam) of 
everyone who is scared of their own paapams that they have committed over 
millions of births before; and are scared of the Narakam and other samsaaric 
ills; who have been ignorant and have also brushed aside the saasthrAs and 
have been under the spell of ahamkaaram and mamakaaram at all time and in 
all births; they have committed great sins and acted on their senses /organs 
and minds- to trespass the saasthric injunctions. You appeared like the male 
cub of YasOdhA! Come out of the YoganithrA! hEy! KrishNA! The one who took 
pledge saying, “I will save you from all sins; Simply surrender to my Feet 
alone; Do not lament and I shall grant you Paragathi. (mOksham). – Oh 
Gaambheerya, AudhArya KaNNA! Open your eyes and wipe away the tears from our 
eyes.

[Also another interpretation for Kappam- Kalpam- tree by Srimath Azhagiya 
SIngar] Oh Kanna! The One who won against the 33 crores of Devas and brought 
the tree (kappam) -so that they do not (thavirttha) have the tree anymore – 
for the sake of your divine Consort SathyabhAmA. Most valourous KaNNA! You 
fulfilled the desire of SathyabhAmA! Now fulfill the desire of these lakhs 
(millions) of Gopikas and open your divine eyes.

seRRArkku veppam kodukkum vimalaa! The Purest One- who gives heat (angers on 
enemies of Asrithars- devotees and destroys those enemies).. You are capable 
and are so victorious. Also the paapams committed by devotees (earlier and 
also on going commitments) are also enemies. They are also crushed by 
KaNNan. pOya pizhaiyum pugutharuvaan ninRanavum theeyinil dhoosAgum.. When 
You decide to save them and protect them, those who says, “You should not 
save them- they are great sinners- You simply ignore them or conquer them. 
Tvayi rakshathi rakshakai kimanyai: tvayi cha arakahsthi rakshakai: 
kimanyai:- says Swamy Desikan in kaamaasikAshtakam. (If you decide to 
protect, who can stop and if you decide against, who can protect anyone?)

Okay- A doubt here raised by Srimath Azhagiya Singar and being cleared by 
His Holiness himself. Of He removes the paapams of devotees then they become 
pure (vimalars); how can KaNNan- who removes their paapams- be addressed as 
Vimalan. (purest one).

Assume that someone has a mind which thinks of “I will kill this guy; I will 
crush him; I will beat him,” – He commits such sins mentally. Where does 
that sin go? Does it go to somewhere? Where is stored? In which folder and 
which directory? In his mind? In space? In universe? Where? Sri Azhagiya 
Singar says, “it is stored as anger in KaNNan’s data base. He gets aangry 
whenever some one commits a papaam; commits against saasthras; commits 
Paradhaara Asai (adultery); commits anything that displeases Him; commits 
(especially) BhAgawatha apacharam; etc.. Also, there are millions and 
millions of people; and they all commit millions and millions of sins every 
moment- all go to His data base as anger. Because itr is He who instructs 
“thou shall not do this; thou shall do this “ in saasthras. And when the 
person is sent to the hell (narakam) for suffering; the anger gets dissolved 
for that sin for which he had undergone this suffering.

Okay. How is He vimalan- (blemishless?) How can he be Vimalan when he always 
thinks of so many crores of people, and their millions of paapams as to how 
to make someone lame, someone blind, someone donkey; someone dog and thereby 
resolve their sins respectively? – Such punishments and karma results are 
contemplated by Him; how can there be vimalathvam?- When someone surrenders, 
He leaves all their millions of paapams committed to dust and forgives them 
unconditionally; When he surrenders (performs Saranagathi) at His lotus feet 
and seeks forgiveness for that paapam, He immediately gets pleased and 
forgives (being the Greatest dayAsaagaran and most compassionate One); his 
anger goes off. If you do not seek forgiveness, undergo the punishment. 
[Also do not commit again the similar paapams intentionally]- He not only 
makes the devotees vimalar (devoid of paapams) He also is Vimalan 
(blemishless) full of mercy and compassion and divinity due to his 
forgiveness. He sends all such paapams on the enemies of devotees. 
seRRaarkku veppam kodukkum- he gives those heat (paapams) to the enemies 
(not just his enemies; but also the enemies of BhAgawathas)

Oh Most Blemishless- Purest Lord! KaNNA! Get up.
Since you considered me as your Acharyan, I am telling You this. In the 
mantra (Dwaya- which is meant for performing Saranagathi), there is amention 
of SrI. You need to have SrI- Mahalakshmi as the Purushaakaram 
(recommendation) and then surrender to me. You need to perform Saranagathi 
through an Acharya. Here this Nappinnai is the amsam of Neela dEvi- who is 
yet another NithyasUri and is not Sri Mahalakshmi. Only Mahalakshmi and I 
are Vibhu and uttered also by Sage Parasarar in Vishnu Puraanam and Bhattar. 
Bhattar said, “yuvaadhvAdhou thulyE”. She is equal to me in all aspects and 
respects. There is none else equal to us. Sicne Nappinnai has the amsam of 
Mahalakshmi and her grace and also she is an amsam of NeelA dEvi- you can 
consider her in lieu of Mahalakshmi now and perform Saranagathi thorugh her 
as Acharyan and as Purushakaram. Go ahead. –. Contemplate of Acharya 
paramparai and then perform Saranagathi to my Feet. Sicne you do not the way 
to perform these Acharyas will enable you and surrender on your behalf or 
will make you qualified to do so. (Acharya nishtai and Ukti Nishtai- 
respectively). Should you do that, whenever You want the phalam (furits) it 
will materialize at that time (dhEhAvasaanam). - KaNNan appears to have said 
to Gopikas.
Gopikas go to Nappinnai- Oh young girl! Naappinnay! The One who has smiling 
face- when the devotees approach You! The One who follows the SruNOthi; 
SrAvayathi- One who listens to the devotees attentively and appeals to the 
Lord suitably and tactfully so that he forgives them and considers them. You 
are that Thiru- SridEvi! Please save us and we pray for that. Recommend us.

What do you need? – Tell me. Says Nappinnai.
We need perform Thirumanjanam for KaNNan and Yourself. You need to equip us 
with sakala upakaraNam (equipment and necessary strength, infrastructure) 
for the same and you both need to come with us. After bathing you and 
adorning You both with dresses, ornaments,dhUpa dhIpam, etc,., we will use 
that theertham (holy waters from Your Feet) to purify us and absolve 
ourselves of all our paapams. Please do the same.

Sure. One day- we will come.
Why someday- ippOdhE emmai neeraattEl.. Right now- come and let us perform 
Thirumanjanam at YamunA.
Please read from vidwAns' commentaries about other greater details- Srimath 
Azhagiya singar ends with such great humility. anything good - the credit 
goes to the divine commentary of SrI Mukkur Azhagiya Singar's. Errors, 
faults are only due to my lack of understanding.
Sri Andal ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
