Full Series<\/a><\/p>\n This gOpikA is thinking that if her eyes are beautiful enough (if we have the svarUpa gyAnam (that it is He who looks after us)), then kaNNan would automatically come to her. So she is just lying in her bed. She heard the gOpikAs singing praise of chakravarthy thirumagan in the previous thirumALigai, and so decides not to keep quiet and asks the gOpikAs when they came to her door, about the rAma nAma sankIrthanam. They reply, yes we can sing about not only rAman, but also about our favorite krishNan.<\/p>\n \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd puLLin vAi kINdAnai pollA arakkanai<\/em> puLLin vAi kIndAnai \u2013 (empirAn<\/a> who) tore and threw away the mouth of bakAsuran who came in the form of a bird, puLLin vAi kINdAnai<\/strong><\/p>\n perumAn<\/a> who killed the bird that was bakAsuran<\/p>\n For people who have surrendered to Him, He helps them get rid of their kAmam (lust) and other dhOshams (ills) which come as hindrance to kainkaryam.<\/p>\n pollA arakkanai<\/strong><\/p>\n Like the arakkan (rAkshasa) who separated pirAtti from perumAn<\/a>; he is a bad arakkan, unlike the good one like vibhIshaNan.
