andru ivvulagam alandaai adi pottri
chendranguth thenilangai chettraai thiral pottri
ponrach chakatam udhaithaai pugazh pottri

endrendrum sevagame ettri parai kolvaan
indruyaam vandhom irangelor empaavaai


Introduction:

Finally approving their request to walk a few feet for the gOpikA's to enjoy, He walked out of the room and sat on His royal throne. This attitude that EmperumAN had towards His favourite gopikA's, working out such requests, is compared to His simplicity in driving ArjunA's chariot to his bet and call in the KurukshEthra war. Hearing their plea, KrishNA walks from His bed to His throne and seeing that all the gOpikA's with Sri ~Nappinnai followed Him singing praises to wade of evil eyes, which will definitely be casted seeing such a majestic walk. The commentator says that once He occupied the throne, the gOpikA's started pressing His tender feet to wade Him of the pain of walking that little distance owing to their request. Now the feet turn red due to the strain by walk and their hands pressing them.

The Mighty Deeds:

This immediately reminds AnDAL of Sri KrishNA's heroic deed of measuring the whole universe in two steps with these very tender feet. She feels they have made Him strain Himself by making Him walk, very similar to the dEvA's, forgetting His tender nature. AnDAL sings glory to the care that He takes on people who come to Him for refugee explaining the holy story of Sri VAmanA.

She moves on to another similar episode where Sri KrishNA helped the dEvA's again from rAvanA. He walked the full length of India, crossing the oceans fought with rAvanA, with an ease of entering a cave with all might and fighting a wild beast.

AnDAL says, "Forget all these episodes. What still amazes us is the way you dealt with the asurA who entered the cart under which you were sleeping as an infant, not knowing what is good and bad. We fear for all that."

Furthermore AnDAL sings KrishNA's deed in managing the asurAs who came in disguise as a calf and fruit. Than these issues, what fascinates AnDAL is Sri KrishNA's help to the entire cowherd clan of saving them from pouring rain when He lifted the gOvardhanam and held it in His little hands.
