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 Andal ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Regards Namo narayana dAsan ------------------------------------ Oppiliappan Koil Varadachari Sadagopan http://www.sadagopan.org Yahoo!
