SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, When the asurAs and Devaas came to fight against You, how that leelA (sport) was performed- AzhwAr enjoys. kaRuththethirntha kaalan^Emi kaalanOdu kooda,an RaRuththavaazhi sankuthaNdu villumvaaLu mEnthinaay, thoRukkalantha voonamaqtho zhikkavanRu kunRammun, poRuththan^inpu kazhkkalaalor nEsamillai neNYchamE! (106) That day- in the TaarakAsura yuddham, when angered KaalanEmi came in front, his head was cut off by You with Your divine ChakrA. Lord! The One who has such strong divine ChakrA, the Sankhu (Conch Shell), gadhA (mace); Saarngam (divine Bow); and the Sword! When Devendra had sent torrential downpour, You could not bear to see the cattle suffering and to remove their suffering, You lifted effortlessly the Govardhana mountain in front of everyone. Thus other than Your glorious deeds of such nature, my mind [nenjam] does not think or desire for anything else. When Gopas did not perform pooja for Devendran, and he got angry. It is understandable and rightful for him to probably take action on them. But why should the innocent cattle suffer? Also the darling of Kutti KaNNan are they. How can they be suffering? So, Kutti KaNNan lifted the Govardhana mountain effortlessly to protect the cattle and the cowherd folks. AzhwAr too feels for the cows perhaps and takes pity on them. [on this token, I would like the readers to enjoy this wonderful post on Govardhana Giri- by Sri Jagannath Bharadwaj Swami] http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/may96/0073.html Nenjam Or nEsam illai- The mind does not think of (Orthal- thinking) anything else NOR desire (nEsam) for anything else. Also it may be read as ? There is NOT any (Or- a-) desire (nEsam) for the nenjam (mind).
