She tells him that it is a disgrace for him, for her, for his father, for the entire village, while inimical entities such as kamsan and SiSupAlan will rejoice. Hence, until krishNa returns, yaSOdhAp pirAtti keeps telling him <em>varuga varuga varuga <\/em>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vAmana nambI varuga ingE<\/strong> \u2013 Since he is <em>vAmana nambI<\/em>, one who has the completeness of auspicious qualities due to which he had protected his followers, she tells him to come to her. Since he did not come, despite saying these words \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that since krishNa did not come to her despite her repeatedly telling him to come, she tells him \u201cAren\u2019t you one with completeness of auspicious qualities? You should listen to the words of your mother. Is it not said that one who does not listen to his mother will not be considered as a good person by people in that place? Hence, you should come\u201d. Since he did not come to her commands, she is praising him to make him come to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>kariya \u2026<\/strong>&#8211; Oh, one who has dark, divine locks and reddish, divine lips, with a beautiful divine face in between these two, without any simile, and who has completeness of auspicious qualities with which you carried out the words of your mother and father! You should come here. When one of the women, who had come there to complain about krishNa, told her, just as it has been mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2024\/07\/nachchiyar-thirumozhi-3-9\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"53432\">nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 3.9<\/a> \u201c<em>anja urappAL aSOdhai<\/em>\u201d (yaSOdhAp pirAtti will not scold you, lest you get frightened), \u201cInstead of ordering him to do what you say, since you allowed him to do as he liked, he is indulging in such mischiefs. Even now, instead of controlling him, you are praising him to make him come to you\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that when yaSOdhAp pirAtti called out to him as <em>vAmana nambI<\/em>, krishNa came a bit nearer. She looked at him from his divine foot to his divine crown. After looking at his dark, divine locks and reddish, divine lips, she forgot her position of controlling him, embraced him, feeling joyous \u201cAren\u2019t you the one who listened to your mother [as SrI rAma]?\u201d She then looks at the women who had come to complain about him to her, and tells them despicably \u201cIs it this person who you are calling as mischief-monger?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ariyan ivan enakku inRu nangAy<\/strong> \u2013 Oh, one who has the completeness of having given birth to a son and nurturing him! Isn\u2019t he a rare person for me to get now? I will not control such a person harshly. After responding to the lady who spoke to her, yaSOdhAp pirAtti returns to her son, unable to tolerate the scornful words of the persons who had come to complain to her, and tells him to come to her, after telling him about her worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that yaSOdhAp pirAtti tells the women \u201cJust as your sons are rare to you all, krishNa is a rare person for me to get\u201d. She looks at them, who have gathered to complain now, while they used to carry krishNa and feel joyous earlier, when he was an infant, and tells them \u201cI am unable to tolerate this\u201d. She looks at one person among those women, who has completeness of qualities and tells her the anguish that she has. She then catches krishNa and takes him with her to go inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>anjana vaNNA<\/strong> \u2013 Oh, one who has a dark, divine complexion, which is invigorating to beholders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that krishNa\u2019s divine complexion was such that she became blind due to her affection towards him. Through this pAsuram, the repeatedly beckoning term <em>varuga varuga<\/em> mentions about the dependence on followers. Where did this dependence manifest? This was brought out by AzhwAr through the term <em>vAmana nambi<\/em> where, for the sake of his follower, indhra, emperumAn took on the garb of <em>vAmana<\/em> [dwarf] and went to mahAbali, who was not his follower [then]. Similarly, through the term <em>kAguththa nambi<\/em>, AzhwAr says that emperumAn went out of his kingdom, using his mother\u2019s words as a pretext, but truly for the sake of celestial entities and sages [in the forests], to the battlefield arena of rAvaNa, an inimical entity, with the companionship of his bow and arrows and conquered rAvaNa. The term <em>asalagam<\/em> [as in <em>asalagaththAr<\/em>], refers to those who wish to attain emperumAn through other means [and not through emperumAn]. The words of such people would certainly appear unfavourable to AzhwAr, who is mangaLASAsanaparar. thiruvAimozhip piLLai narrates an incident involving piLLai uRangAvilli dhAsar, one of rAmAnuja\u2019s disciples. Unable to tolerate the complaints of these women, he would ask, in a child-like manner \u201cWhich lock did krishNa break? Which expensive material did he usurp? They are complaining only about him. He has all the entities for milking as well as churning in his house. Without differentiating between his house and other\u2019s houses, and, without knowing the effect of his actions, he had entered someone else\u2019s house. Why are they crying out that he stole milk, he stole butter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>asalagaththAr paribavam pEsath tharikka killEn<\/strong>&#8211; I am unable to tolerate scornful words such as \u201cDeceitful person, mischievous person\u201d which they say about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>pAviyEnukku ingE pOdharAyE<\/strong> \u2013 I have to hear such despicable words, since I have committed sins.
