In this paasuram , AzhwAr is speaking as 
Paraankusa Naayaki . He chides her friends and 
mother for belittling the Lord , her object of intense
desire . She sets them straight . Nayaki"s friends
and mother were complaining that Parankusa 
Nayaki need not dance before the Lord to please Him 
and it was His turn to dance before their lovely Nayaki ,
just as He did once before Nappinnai to win her hand . 
Our Nayaki protesed vehemently and praised 
the wonderous deeds of Her Lord with this paasuram . 

Paasuram 21 : Soottu nanmAlaigaL -----

O my supreme Lord ! In Your distant parama padham ,
the NithyasUris were performing Your Thirumanjanam 
with sacred waters ; they were carrying in their hands 
the beautiful flower garlands and were offering 
dhUpa and deepa Aradhanams . As the cloud of incense rose and
acted as a screen between yourself and the assembled NithyasUris ,
at that very moment , You took off for Gokulam as a maayAvi 
to go after Your favorite sport of eating stolen butter . After that 
enjoyment , You went amidst the horns of the seven ferocious bulls 
assembled at Nappinnai's house and fought with them 
as if You were entertaining Your would-be bride with a dance 
performance of Yours ! You won the beautiful Nappinai 
as the winner's prize for your agile "dance " .
