SONG NO:14

Ungal puzhakkadaith thotattu vaaviyul
Chengazhunir vaainegizhndu aambalvaai koombina kaan
Chengal podikkoorai venpal thavathavar
Thangal thirukkoyil changiduvaan potandaar
Engalai munnam ezhuppuvaan vaaipesum
Nangaai! ezhundiraai; nannadaai! Naavudaiyaai!
Changodu chakkaram yendum thadakkaiyan
Pangayak kannaanaip paadelorempaavai.’


Song :14

The specialty of her tongue:

This pAsuram is dedicated to a girl who is famous for her rhetoric skills. She has promised to wake the other girls early that day, but has fallen asleep comfortably. Though the other gOpikA's could not take it easily, they could not shout back at her because her presence in the group is inevitable cause her speech as said earlier was powerful enough to make Krishna fall fall for it. Moreover, AnDAL as discussed earlier did not want to miss even a single girl. She wanted all possible people to fall sake for the Lords grace. If at all she starts singing describing the beauty of Sri KrishnA bearing the discus and conch, He is sure to soften and grace them all.

Praise Him to serve the purpose:

AnDAL finally asks the gOpikA to use her tongue to sing the praise of the beautiful lotus eyed God. She says that is the purpose you were given the tongue for, don't use them to tatse delicious food, that will never serve the real purpose.
