SrI:
Dear KrishNa BhakthAs
:
There are 108
plus 1 delectable slOkams in the second
section of SrI
KrishNa KarNAmrutham . These slOkams
house the
exquisite anubhaavms of SrI LeelA Sukhar and are
steeped in his
KrishNa Bhakthi in the tradition of
PeriyAzhwAr ,
Srimath BhAgavatham and a host of
other KrishNa
PrEmis . Let us enjoy them now:
2.1 May Lord
KrishNaa fulfil our heart's desires !

( Commentary ): The poet enjoys
the anga soundharyam
( the extraordinary beauty of
the limbs ) of
Baala KrishNan
engaged in His leelaas
and prays for the
fulfilment of
his heart's desires
through the firm
retention in his mind
of the beauty
of the Lord's
divine form that he is visualizing .
The prayer of Leela
Sukhar is " MurArE: mugdham
angam na: vaanchitam
diSathu". The Lord's divine
body ( ThirumEni) known for
its saamudhrikaa lakshaNams
is
saluted as " mugdham angam " . He is the fulfiller
of
whatever we long
for (manOraTam) with devotion .
He is VaanchithArTa
PradhAyaka
Varadhan . He showers
His SaraNAgathAs ( those who
seek refuge at His sacred feet)
with all that they desire
including Moksha siddhi that
He alone can bless them with
.
Inundated by the
waves of bliss ( Aanandha Lahari) ,
Leelasukhar describes
to us the anga
soundharyam
of the Lord engaged in
His Baala chEshtai
( youthful pranks)
this way : The body of
the Lord is
shining with the smearing
of the
fresh navaneetham ( butter from churned milk mixed
with sugar )
. Baala
KrishNan is
engaged in stealing
this navaneetham from
neighbor's houses
and during these
acts of gobbling up the
navaneetham before
the owner of
the house catches Him
, He spills some of the radiantly white ,
freshly churned butter balls
(navaneetham ) on His body
and face . His ThirumEni
( sacred body) is thus shining with
the specks of fresh
navaneetham ( abhinava
navaneetha
snigdham
angam) as tell-tale
signs of
His navaneetha chOram
( srealing navaneetham) .
Leelaa Sukhar is about to sing
" Nanda Nandana Govindhaa !
Navaneetha chOraa Govindhaa !".
Leelaa Sukhar now finds Baala
KrishaNa active in helping
Himself with mouthfuls
of milk ( Aapeetha dugdham angam )
to wash down the hastily swallowed balls
of navaneetham .
Drops of milk have also
spilled now over His limbs . He
wnats
to know
what else is available in that house for
consumption
and
spots a vessel
containing curds ; Our Lord puts His tender
hands
inside that vessel and tastes the dense and
delectable
chunks of
curd stored there . Few of those chunks of curd
also fall
all over His beautiful body (
dadhikaNa-paridigdham
mugdham angam) .
Leelaa
Sukhar's gaze now moves over to the Siras ( head)
of
the Lord
engaged in the sport of helping Himself in a
hurry
with
delectable navaneetham , milk and curd . What
does
he see
there ? He witnesses the auspicious face that cuts
down the
inauspiciousness ( krucchram ) of
the world
( bhuvana krucchra-chEdhi) ; the head of the Lord
shines
with dense and beautiful , bluish-black tresses of wavy
hair
adorned with a new peacock feather ( nava
Sikhi-pinchaa
laanchitham angam) . Leelaa
Sukhar is reminded of the bunch
of
blossoms of flowers of a new tree (taapinccha-gucchacchavi) ,
when he enjoys the dense
and shiny tresses of the Lord
.
The tresses are adorned beautifully with the eye of a new
peacock
feather (
nava-Sikhi-pincchaa laanchitham) .
Leelaa Sukhar
prays in this slOkam to this
Nava Mohana Sundaraanga Baala
KrishNan
for
conferral of all the boons that we desire
( na: Vaanchitham
diSathu )
.
