ANDAL S ENVY CONCH'S PRIDE
 
The same sound from the sangam is perceived differently according to the circumstances.  In the morning when Lord krishNA makes the sound from it, the cows comprehend it to be a call for the day outing. In the evening, it is a sound call for return. The same is also call for girl-folks in thiru AippAdi that He is returning from the outing.

periya jEyar's commentary is a must for the understanding of the multifaceted role of the pAnchajanyam
" ..pasu niRaiyin udiaya thirALAnadhu mELumpadiyAga vUdhina sangathai pidithuk koNdu. sangam kuRikkum pOdhu:
AniRaiyin mELgaikkuRuppAga kuRikkumadhum, mELugaikkuRuppAgak kuRikkumadhum, pakkathu vilangAmaikkuRuppAga kuRikkumadhum, vUdhugiRa dhvani vishEshathAlE vAsanai paNNina pasukkaL aRiyum iREa."
 
The cows understand the tone of the sound emanating from the conch as they are used to it. ippOdhu sAyankAlam AgaiyAlE, mElak kuRitha sangam engiRadhu.  indha dhvanidhAn pungkoL thirumugathu maduthUdhiya sangolipOl,  thiru AippAdiyil pengaLukkum than varavai  vuNarthugaikku vudalAi irEa iruppadhu.
 
The parallel functional role of the conch is being highlighted by periAzhwAr and explained by swAmi maNavALa mAmunikaL.
AndAL being the daughter/disciple of periyAzhwAr, no doubt is also fascinated by the conch which we have seen in the earlier postings also.
The endless attraction for AndAL for the conch has already been seen in thiruppAvai and nAchiyAr thiru mozhi. However, we have been scratching only the surface.
