Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
In Nacchiyar Thirumozhi 12-5, Andal talks about the dance
that Lord Krishna did on the head of the snake Kaliya.
Arkkum en nOy idhaRiyalAgAdhu ammanaimIr thuzhadhippadAdhE
kArkkadal vaNNan enbAn oruvan kaikaNda yOgam thadavath
thIrum
nIrk karai ninRa kadambai ERik kALiyan uchchiyil nattam
pAyndhu
pOrkkaLamAga niruththam seydha poygaik karaikku ennai
uyththidumin
The simle meaning for the phrase "pOrkkaLamAga niruththam
seydha poygaik karai" would be that Lord Krishna, as He
danced,
made the banks of the pond where Kaliya was, a battlefield.
Nampillai records that Bhattar offered the following
meaning
for this phrase.
"As soon as the people in Thiryvayppadi heard that Krishna
had jumped into the pond where Kaliya was, they fainted.
They did not even have the strength to come up to the banks
of the pond and fainted wherever they were when they heard
the news. It looked like the entire town had become a
battlefield and all the people had been felled in a war.
Therefore, it is not that Andal is saying that the banks of
the pond became the battlefield. She is actually saying
that
the Lord's dance made the whole Thiruvayppadi a
battlefield."
