They press their kovvaip pazham like mouths against his divine mouth and take in the nectar which secretes from his divine mouth. yaSOdhAp pirAtti calls her friends, who are wearing reddish ornaments, to come and have a look at his divine mouth.
vyAkhyAnam (Commentary)
en thoNdai … – krishNa had his mouth reddish like kovvaip pazham and had a pride, like a lion cub. The herd-women carried him on their waists, saying ”He is my son”. Desiring his saliva, which is like nectar, coming from his divine mouth, they press their mouths against him and imbibe that. tharukkip parugum – would also mean that they drink it with pride.
ich chendhoNdai … – even after they keep drinking the saliva from his mouth, the divine mouth looks reddish. yaSOdhAp pirAtti calls her friends, who are wearing reddish ornaments, to come and have a look at his divine mouth. thiruvAimozhip piLLai, in his svApadhESam, says that sEyizhai refers to ornament for the soul, which is reflective of devotion.
We shall next consider the 15th pAsuram of this thirumozhi.
