SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on
ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is:
NammAzhwAr?s Thiruvaaymozhi 8.2.1

nangaL varivaLai yaayaNG kaaLO!
  nammutai Ethalar munbu naaNi,
nungat kiyaanonRu raikkum maaRRam
  nOkkugin REnengum kaaNa maattEn,
changam charindhana chaayi zandhEn
  thadamulai ponniRa maayththa LarndhEn,
vengaN paRavaiyin paaga NnengOn
  vEngada vaaNaNai vEndich chenRE.      8.2.1


In this ten, NammAzhwAr gets into NayikA bhAvam. He
declared that there is none but Him to enable one to
reach Him. But the Lord has NOT helped AzhwAr to show
His Thirumukham (Face). Hence, he gets into "nayaki"
bhaavam and narrates her pitiable situation to her
friends. 

Oh My dearest friends, (ones who wear lovely bangles!)
I am ashamed of telling my situation to our (enemy)
mothers. (Enemy because they do not support us nor are
they concerned; they know only to scold us!). But I
can at least speak to you. Even then, I am Not able to
tell all that I experience. My heart has gone to
ThiruvEnkatanAthan. I went to see Him with great
desire in my heart, because I have fallen in love with
Him who rides on GarudA. (He should have actually come
to me; Instead, I went to Him). Even then, since, I
could NOT see Him and fulfill my desires, I am
suffering terribly. My bangles have simply fallen off
(due to my wrists getting thin). I have lost my usual
complexion and brightness. Due to my suffering and
pangs of separation, my breasts have lost their Golden
colour and become pale. My body has become exhausted. 


Our nammAzhwAr has gone into a "nAyikA" bhaavam and
sings as if he is "parAngusa nAyaki". (The
purushotthaman is the only purushan and all other
beings are supposed to be sthrees; So it is yet
another way of showing bhakti and yearning for His
grace) here is azhwAr's outpourings from the lady
azhwAr(paraangusa naayaki).

Naayaki bhAvam ? means: taking the role of the
Mistress or wife or the heroine of poetic composition
of the AzhwArs when they convert themselves in their
minds as the prototypical woman in search of their
Lord and express in anguish their suffering at
separation from their Naayakan ( Lord ) or express
their joy in union with Him as thier Naayakan.
NammAzhwAr and Thrumangai Azhwar created moving
paasurams, when they assumed the role ofthe Lord's
mistress.

Among Acharya purushas, Swamy Desikan has composed in
Naayaki BhAvam.
