 Well Well :-) . There are many hardcore fans of kaliyan (thirumangai
  AzhwAr) in this list who would respond that their kaliyan also has sung
  many pAsurams in nAyakA-nAyakI bhAvA (mAdhurya rasA) as "parakAla
  nAyakI".

  NammAzhwAr is well known for his exhibition of this superior
  nAyakA-nAyaki bhavA as "parAnkusa nAyaki".

But, they could at best simulate the Bhava while our dear Goda Piraattti being
the very incarnation of Bhumi Piraatti and being a woman par excellence, had
the Bhava actually ingrained naturally in her Svabhava and none can  beat her
in this.
