sri:
Humble pranam to all devotees:

Pasuram 6 - 15 Introduction:
=====Sri U.Ve ESB Swami's write up starts here=========

SECTION II:  The first five pasurams of Tiruppavai form
one section and pasurams 6-15 the second section. These 10
stanzas describe the sleeping girls being woken up by those
who are already up.

These two groups represent KAINKARYA NISHTHA
(those impatient to serve God,like Lakshmana)
and
GUNA NISHTHA
(those who are content to meditate on the
glorious qualities of God, like Bharata).

Nammazhwar speaks of their presence even in Vaikunthaloka
- VAIKUNTATTU AMARARUM (service minded) MUNIVARUM (enjoying His Virtues).
Poison acts on different people in different ways - some
faint and some run here and there; so do the attributes of
Sri Krishna. Hence the sleeping girls not a bit inferior
in their longing for Krishna to those who wake them. Though
one could go to Krishna on one's own, it is not advisable
"VEDAM VALLARGALAI KKONDU,VINNOR PERUMAN TIRUPPADAM
PANINDU " says Nammazhwar. We should always approach Him
through some godly person; because we have sinned against
Him and being a SWATANTRA (free to act as He pleases),He
may punish us. Hence a Recommending Authority is very much
needed. Moreover His virtues are like a huge river in
spate during rains, and so if a man wants to cross it
surely he needs the help of others. Further unlike in the
case of carnal company, enjoyment of His company will
be sweeter in the company of Bhaktas.
        
Those gopis who are vigilant are goaded on by their
haste (twara) to get Kainkarya,while those that are
asleep have firm faith (adhyavasaya)in the Lord as
Upaya. Hence pasurams 6-15 give room for interpreting
them as referring to Azhvars and acharyas.
