Oh, one who is an amazing entity! You should clap.
vyAkhyAnam (Commentary)
pon … – even as the girdle bells, made of carbuncle, staying together with the golden waist cord, make a sound on their dwelling place…
than … – even as the ornament chutti, which is hung from the divine locks, lowers on to the divine forehead and sways…
en … – you should get down from my lap, get on to the lap of your father, SrI nandhagOpar, who is also the head of herd-folk and clap your hands. Through this, yaSOdhAp pirAtti says that since she enjoys his clapping his hands from nandhagOpar’s lap rather than from her lap, she is requesting him to carry that out mercifully.
thiruvAimozhip piLLai says, in his svApadhESam, that just as SrI nandhagOpar is happy when krishNa is on yaSOdhAp pirAtti’s lap, she is happy when krishNa is on nandhagOpar’s lap. Hence, she tells him to clap, while sitting on his lap.
mAyavanE! – Oh, one who is an amazing entity!
thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the term mAyavanE refers to krishNa having amazing powers.
We shall next consider the 3rd pAsuram of this thirumozhi.
