Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
Dear bhAgavatas,
Sri Padmanabhan Swami's point that Bhattar's presence
is everywhere in Thiruppavai is apt. adiyEn has heard
from upanyAsakas that not only in Thiruppavai but in
all of the 4000 vyakhyanams, Bhattar's nirvAhams are
the last say on that matter.
Sri Padmanabhan's point will be the focus of our
series 'A Day in the Lif of our Acharyas' next - that
is, we will look at all of Bhattar's nirvAhams in
Thiruppavai, pasuram by pasuram.

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
Thiruppavai pasuram 1: "mathi niRaintha"
This phrase refers to the full moon. Prior to this,
the gOpikas were seeking the darkness - for lovers
and thieves, it is darkness that is needed. It is thus
Andal had sung "naLLirutkaN ennai uyththidumin" in
Nacchiyar Thirumozhi. There Andal had mentioned Sri
Nandagopar's doorstep ("nandagOpan kadaiththalai").
Bhattar recalls that here and explains what is
happening in Sri Nandagopar's doorstep: "bhishakkukkaL
vAsal Arththar kattaNamAyk kidakkumApOlE, srinandagOpar
vAsal krushNanAlE puNpatta peNgaL kattaNamAyk
kidakkumAyk koLLIr".
That is, just as people who are badly hurt physically
are brought in stretchers and placed at the doorstep
of the doctor's office, so too gOpikas whose hearts
are affected by Sri Krishna are brought in stretchers
and placed at the doorstep of Sri Nandagopar (and
a whole lot of these girls are thus lying at the
doorstep).
