12. கனைத்திளம் கற்றெருமை
கனைத்து இளம் கற்றெருமை கன்றுக்கு இரங்கி
நினைத்து முலை வழியே நின்று பால்சோர
நனைத்து இல்லம் சேறாக்கும் நற்செல்வன் தங்காய்
பனித்தலை வீழநின் வாசற்கடை பற்றிச்
சினத்தினால் தென்இலங்கைக் கோமானைச் செற்ற
மனத்துக்கு இனியானைப் பாடவும்நீ வாய் திறவாய்
இனித்தான் எழுந்திராய் ஈதென்ன பேர்உறக்கம்!
அனைத்து இல்லத்தாரும் அறிந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
"So I am still in the role of Rama," said the Lord. Kumbakarna was destroyed in the previous pasura and now it is Ravana's turn."
Andal replied. " When I said 'senRu seruccheyyum ' in my earlier pasuram, what I meant was, you, the kutram onRillaadha kOvalan always fought outside the city to protect the people. You met Jarasandha outside Mathura, and planned the battle at kurukshethra far away form Hasthinapura and as Rama also you fought outside Lanka . That is why in this pasuram I refereed to you as 'sinadhingu thennilagaikkOmaanaiccheTra , that is you destroyed only the lord of Lanka and not the city . "
Of course , how can I," said the Lord, " since I have already given Lanka to Vibeeshana and it was the property of my devotee."
Yes, that is why you are dear to all , manatthukkinyaan. You were described by Valmiki as 'sOmavathpriyadarsanah,' because by looking at you the heart gets joy as by the sight of the moon. You are a delight to all the senses and to the mind."
"Like the buffalo which makes the milk flow by mere thought of its calf, kanRukkirangi, unlike the cow which gives milk only in the presence of the calf, you remembers us and your mercy flows to us without distinction. "
The Lord said,"I was yasodhai iLam singam and nandhagopan kuamran and now have become a buffalo!, with a mischievous grin.
" Not only you my Lord the term may refer to your, consort also."
"Oh then I am satisfied ,"the Lord , "naturally the consort of a buffalo should also be the same!"
"Hear me now ," said Andal, As sinandhingu refers to your Ramavathara, the Sita devi who said "who does not err", 'na kaschithnAparAdhyathi.' is compared to the buffalo which gives out milk at the memory of its calf. She also advised you about mercy and to Ravana about dharma trying to save him from his doom. "
And the word naRselvan thangaai may as well mean sridevi who is hiranmayee and the naR selvan is you yourself. As you are rich, selvan only having her."
"Yes, it is true" said He , " not only sridevi but you also as bhoodevi constantly think of your children and recommend their case to me. Even in this incarnation as Andal, you tried to save the people by instructing them to say my names, are you not?"
" I like the beautiful description , " said the Lord, " aniatthillam sERaakkum and panitthalkai veezha nin vaasal kadia patri. You meant that you had to catch hold of the doorstep due to the fog falling on your head and the flood of milk under your feet."
"Yes, over head it was neervannam , that is you, and down was the paal vannam our devotion which over flowed and our hearts were full of you, maal vaNNam so there was a risk of losing our feet and forgetting where we were. Hence we had to catch the doorstep, the physical awareness which alone can help us to enjoy your nearness."
"Beautiful," said the Lord," When you are immersed in the milk bhakthi like the flood which sweeps your feet, your senses support you like the vaasarkadai , as Kulasekara said , 'Oh tongue, sing His glory, oh mind, think of Him, oh two hands, worship Him, oh ears, hear stories about Him, oh eyes, look at Himoh feet go to his temple , oh nose, smell their fragrance of tulasi worn by Him and oh head, bow down to Him.' The pErurakkam the long sleep of ignorance is gone and you come to me."
Andal fell at His feet speechless only to be lifted by Him with deep love.
