Dearest all, 

Let us enjoy the seventh verse of ThiruppAvaiâ

kIcu kIcu enRu eNGkum aanaiccaaththan * kalan^thu

thEcamutaiyaay thiRa ElOr empaavaay.            7.

Andalâs friend becomes the leader of the group here. She had
made plans with her fellow Gopis to wake up early in the morning
and go to worship Kannan. In spite of knowing about the tatvams,
one of Andalâs friends seems sleepy and does not wake up to join
them. They go to her doorstep and start awakening her. Andal
says, âOh lady, please get upâ. âLet it dawn. Whatâs the hurry?â
says the maid. âOf course it is bright day alreadyâ. âReally?â âAre
you not hearing the chirping (kishu kishu) sounds of the birds
(valiyan or bharadhvaja sparrows)? These sparrows are now flying
out of their nest in search of food after staying in the nest together
during the night. They are making loud chirping noise feeling sad
about separating from their friendsâ says Andal. âThey keep
chirping even before dawnâ says the maid. âIs it so? Even after
knowing the fact that Bhaagavathas are greater than Bhagavan
Himself, you are making us wait at your doorstep. Oh spellbound
girl! The sound of the curds being churned by our fellow woman
folk in Aayarpaadi is so clearly audible. The sound of the brush of
their achchu thali, aamai thali, bangles and other jewels during
grinding of curd to get butter is so clear. Have you come under the
spell of any spirit? The women folk of Aayarpadi apply fragrant oil
to their hair and have groomed their hair beautifully before
grinding curds. That fragrant smell has permeated everywhere. Are
you not noticing this either? Are you affected by a sense of
superiority because you are our leader? The Gopis during churning
sing the glories of Kannan so beautifullyâ.

âAfter Kannan came to Gokulam, all the cows due to His
association have started giving lots of milk three times a day.
Milking cows most of the time and churning curds has now become
our job. So, just because somebody is churning curds into butter,
how can you say itâs already dawn? I have not been affected by any
spirit or by ghostâ, says one of her friends still drowsing with sleep.
They all then think of telling the dangers that had befallen on
Kannan, so as to make her get up in a flash and come along with
them. âOh lady! Listen. A demon by name Keshi has come in the
guise of a horse and is fighting with Kannanâ. There was no
response for this. When Sita who was in a cave in Janasthanam,
after hearing that Sri Rama had won over fourteen thousand
demons, came running to Him joyfully and hugged Him. Having
known this, they thought a similar thing will happen here and said
âKannan has won over Keshi and has brought him downâ. But
there was no response still. They then see through the window and
observe that her face was bright and joyful after having heard of
Kannanâs victory. âOh! What a beauty is yours. Shouldnât we see
it?â says Andal. After saying so, she immediately got up and came
out.

This pasuram teaches us that Vedam is the curds that have
been churned by the Acharya to get the divine Ashtaksharam and
Dvaya mantram, which is preached. It is said that
Bhoothathaazhwar is being awakened here
