Dear srivaishNava perunthagaiyeer, 

First of all please accept my sincere apologies for sending this post so 
belatedly. Due to certain commitments, I could not draft the post to serve you. 
May be somebody envied with my krishNa that caused this delay. First themeaning 
of this beautiful krithi of OVS with the undercurrent of envy overthat 
achEthana vasthu - a bamboo flute of my krishNa..

raagam: aarabhi thaaLam: aadhi thaaLam
pallavi:
kuzhalE nee enna koduththu vaiththanaiyO 
gOvindhan unnai oodha engaL gOpaalan unnai oodha 
konji unai senthaamarai malar anna karam koNdu 
aNaiththida kuviyidhazh - adharam unadhiru amudhinai 
koLLai koNdavarai parugidavena  [kuzhalE nee]

meaning: hey flute, have you done many good deeds so as to that gOvindhan plays 
music with you. Our gOpaalan plays music with you. He embraces you first and 
then caresses you with his lotus like hands, those lips brought intocup shape 
so as to rob and suck and drink the nectar, which you contain. 

[see the possessiveness in claiming 'our gOpaalan' - it is not 'my gOpaalan' - 
but 'engaL gOpaalan' - the poet has joined the krishNa dhaasargaL koottam - 
congregation of servants of krishNa - so - engaL gOpaalan- the koodi yirundhu 
kuLirndhu principle of aaNdaaL on this day of thiru aadip pooram the birthday 
of aaNdaaL]

[does this word caressing convey that meaning for konjudhal? Or is it embrace - 
then what is aNaiththida - also embrace may lead to thazhuvudhal. Or for 
konjudhal - is it 'love making' - that may lead to some other meaning? Or am I 
inadequate in my language proficiency - dear bhakthaas, give a word for that. 
May be krishNa - oh, you stop the thinking faculty inside - for your konjudhal 
with flute - our konjudhal with you - word's lose meaning when thinking about 
you and your deeds, and / or thinking lose track when emotions run high? - oh 
Krishna] 

ok any how - when it comes to krishNa - perhaps my dear bhakthaas can make what 
it is for konjudhal that too with the flute - even if they do not knowthe 
subtleties of tamil to that extent] 

anupallavi:
kazhalO unakkenath thaaLangaL pOda 
adhaik-kaNdavudan amarargaL maa malar thoova 
mazhaiyO vandhadhu ena maa mayilgaL aada 
engaL manamO lajjaiyai vittu gajjai katti aada  [kuzhalE nee]

meaning: the anklets in his legs provide rhythm for you, hey flute, seeing this 
action of the feet of their lord, the gods in the sky shower big flowers, 
seeing that shower the peacocks dance as though it is raining, on seeing all 
these our mind shirking all shyness adorn the dancing bells in the feet and 
start dancing - all these because of you, hey flute, have you -- , 
 
(madhyamakalam)
madhu maNandhu poraadhadhaagiya karu vaNdinam kaNdu 
indhaLam paada maazhai marakatham minnoLi iNaiyena 
vandhu vandhu balam unthu aravum aada gathi irandha maadhavar aanavar 
iLa kanniyar aaghavum thayir vilai koora kai aNaiththu mei aNaiththu 
kaadhal seivadhu enRu hariyOdum uravaada        [kuzhalE nee]

meaning: these black bees sing the paNN indhaLam - that happy music - 
forgetting their natural job of collection of honey, the young snake also 
started dancing because of its youth, and thinking that naaga rathinam and 
lightning both shine sparkling in parallel, the old people who were doing 
penancebegging a route to liberation became young girls to call price ranges 
for selling curd, they also started joining hands in romantic mood to embrace 
hari -our lord - all because of you, hey flute, have you---. 

charanam:
kONaamal naaNaamal maamalaith-thookki 
kudaiyaaghap-pidiththaan maamazhai neekki
aanaalum inRu unai kaikku uRavaakki 
aanaanE mukkONan aavadharkkuL nOkki     [kuzhalE nee]

meaning: this gOpaalan lifted the hillock gOvardhanam as an umbrella with out 
shying or bending even a finger to save from rains. But, today he becamethrice 
bent to make relationship with you through hand - hey flute have you ---  

Additional Points: 
1. this envy with flute is simply reflects aaNdaaL's envy with sangu as already 
highlighted in previous post. 

2. This envy over flute also leads to the taste / trace of periyaazhvaar's 
naavalam theevil padhikam - gOvindhan kuzhal kodu oodhina pOdhu - idhu oR 
arpudham kELeer - all sentient and non-sentient to change / lose their 
basicnature and go with the music from this flute - oh great - hey flute what 
is the great penance did you do to enjoy that proximity with krishna's lips.  

3. see black bees sing indhaLa paNN - music forgetting their basic nature of 
collection of honey.  

4. snakes dance when so many are near them doing some thing else thereby 
threatening their very existence - snakes have forgotten their basic nature of 
hissing and threatening others, but dancing in lightning and sparkle etc. 

5. great personalities - maharishigaL - maa thavar - maa thvaththai udaiyavar - 
doing penance, they also lose their balance and start calling price ofcurd - 
this is a reflection of going into subtle detail of poorva jenmam detail of 
gopies - former rishis during raamaayaNa period in dhandaka vanam - now gopies 
- again their poorva jenma vaasanai also changed - to selling curd and enjoying 
Krishna and his embraces physically and mentally - all these because of you - 
oh flute. 

6. he, who not even showed any tiredness even in his little finger for seven 
days who took the weight of the hillock gOvardhan - today became bent in three 
places - legs bent, waist bent, head bent - all to bear you - oh flute - to 
produce that kuzhal naadham - kuzhal amudham - that too amudhap punal as said 
by aazhvaar - Oh you great flute. 

7. gathi irandha maadhavar - the maadhavan - krishNa who begs a route - calling 
them to enjoy with them - these girls who go selling curd - krishNa also begs 
to others - yes - with the gOpee girls- to get a ball of butter - to get a kiss 
from them - begging to mother yasOdhaa for not beating him forhaving stolen 
butter in other's houses - Oh the envy list goes up when thinking of their 
bhaagyam to enjoy krishNa.

8. this also brings to light the trio krithis bringing out undercurrent of the 
envy on the bhaagyam of yasOdhaa - enna thavam seidhanai of paapanaasamsivan, 
engum illadhoru pillai of OVS and paNNiya puNNIyam of ambujam krishNa. This was 
an article written in the list earlier. [added information is that this article 
of this writer is available as a three part write up titled enna thavam in 
www.karnatik.com <http://www.karnatik.com> ] 
  
Just roll in your mind, dear bhakthaas, then you will realize how great this 
krithi is. All because it is on krishNa and his flute music. 

Dhasan

Vasudevan m.g

PS: on this day of aadip pooram is it better to think aaNdaal only or her lover 
krishNa also. I am not finding an answer. You can add.
