Dear sri vaishNva perunthagaiyeer,
I meditate on my krishNa asking / requesting him to confer mOksham to all the
victims whose lives he has taken into his fold by employing 'the water force
named tsunami' around south Asia.
I also meditate on krishNa to confer a 'Happy new year 2005' to all around the
world and in particular to the bhakthaas of him in our lists.
In the description of the natavara, my krishNa, we have seen descriptions by
a. gOpees,
b. brahma
c. the wives of braahmaNaas
who were conducting the yagnam through the words of sri sukha brahmam or sukha
maharshi. We also saw swamy dhesikan describing the natavara and a poem by the
famous poet-writer of kerala ezhuththachchan. Now we take up the description of
natavara by the great Krishna - bhaktha leelaa sukhar. To recollect the slOkams
they are added here again.

- hair in the head is decorated with peacock feathers
- face is immersed in happiness
- youth is fresh and ever growing
- flute pours out nectarian music
- chest is worshipped by the embracing gopees who has well shaped
breasts
that wonderful bright light 'krishNa' shines in our mind.

-2-31 krishna karnaamrutham
karNa lambitha = dangling in the ears
kadhamba manjaree kEsara = kadamba trees' flowers petals made as a bunch
aruNa = shining
kapOla maNdalam = the area of cheeks
nirmalam = pure, without blemishes
nigama vaak agOcharam = the vEdhaas, voice, not reachable
neelimaanam = the blue coloured
avalOkayaamahE = we see fully
meaning: we see that krishNa who
- has kadamba tree's flowers and petals made as a bunch dangling
in the ears
- the cheeks shine red [due to the red colour of these flowers]
- is pure and blemishless
- is blue coloured
- is not reachable even for the vEdhaas to describe him.
Dear bhakthaas, even though these two slokams of leela sukhar are separate
[appearing in two different sections], if you place them side by side and then
see the meaning, then the description put together is simply the barhaapeedam
slokam in total. Hope you will agree to that.
Now we take up the next description of naaraayana theertha of my krishNa, as
nata vara.
manyE thvaam iha maadhava dhaivam maayaa sveekrutha maanusha bhaavam
dhanyairaadhrutha thath svabhaavam dhaathaaram jagathaam athi-vibhavam
brundhaavana chara barhaavathamsa baththa gunjavana bahuthara vilaasa

meaning: hey maadhavaa, [one who has the sree mahalakshmee in his chest] -sri
krishNa
- who wanders in the forests of brindhaavanam,
- who has taken the human form sportive,
- who has the nature of giving endlessly the superb wealth etc
- who has decoration with peacock feathers
- who has an enticing split smile
- who has peacocks accompanying singing in their own style
- please appear before me
Since already stated the krithi starts pooraya mama kaamam - the gOpees ask
krishNa - mama kaamam pooraya - fulfill my desires what is the desire - of
enjoying yoy ok krishNa.
Let us also ask him 'mama kaamam pooraya' - fulfill the desire of enjoying him
and his guNa anubhavams more in the new year starting.
