Yamuna by contrast, assisted Vāsudeva to carry the child Kṛṣṇa to Gokula, not being afraid of Kaṃsa, although she was flowing underneath the very palace of the demon - herein lies the purity of the Yamuna. The Godāvari River never imparted any information to Sri Rāma about Sitā Devi, due to fear of Rāvaṇa, though Sitā had specifically requested her to do so. The waters experienced the Divine touch of the Lord and therefore have become pure. (tūya perunīr yamunai turaivanai) it is said that the purity of the waters of the Yamuna river is due to Lord Kṛṣṇa and the Gopis playing in them, gargling and splashing themselves. He was like a son to everyone in Mathura and He was celebrated as the king of Mathura (maindan-can mean- strength, son or king) Mathura has always been associated with the Lord It was the place of penance of the Lord during the vamanavatara During the Ramavatara, shatrugna won over lavanasura and ruled over from Mathura And now Krishna has taken birth in this divine place Only after His birth in mathura did the almighty’s glory spread everywhere He was born as the boy who immediately after birth broke His parents bondages. (mannu vaḍa madurai maindanai) Yet this Transcendent Godhead (Para-Vasudeva) has taken birth due to His boundless compassion, in the humble circumstances of a prison in the Northern city of Mathura (here differentiated from the Southern city of Madura). (māyanai) Supreme Being who is inscrutable, beyond the comprehension of the human mind, residing in paramapada (srivaikunta) Surprisingly that supreme Lord who the nithyasuris enjoy always now has descended making Himself so very accessible by the innocent cowherds who beat Him and tie Him and enjoy all His mysterious pastimes
The result of such spiritual practice is the absolution of sins and the attainment of spiritual purity. Godā in this verse teaches the means of devotional service - making simple offerings of flowers, chanting Kṛṣṇa's name and silently meditating upon His refulgent form. He is such a Lord who forgoes anything for the sake of His devotees. In the fifth verse the gopis had a query even the so powerful Rama’s crowning ceremony didn’t happen on the day the great sage vasista marked so how can we be sure that our vow will go on without any hindrance? Andal answers we need not cleanse all our sins to undertake this vow since we are going to surrender to that Lord who is pure in all aspects and capable of burning all our sins and making our vow successful. In the fourth verse she ordered varuna to perform His duty in the specified way and got reminded of Sri Rama, to whose help various devas appeared in various forms. In the third verse, She explicitly conveyed the benefit to the world if they undertake the vow and was reminded of the Lord who measured the worlds and showered His boundless compassion on one and all. She started the first verse celebrating the supreme Narayana and in the second verse instructed the do’s and don’ts of the vow and worshipped the Lord reclining in the milky ocean. Tīyinil tūśāgum – will vanish like cotton in a fire Īndal called for all Her friends(the gopis) in thiruayppadi to undertake the vow of marghazhi nombu. Pugudaruvān nindranavum – those committed later (without our knowledge) Pōya pizhaiyum – past sins (committed before realizing our relation with Him) Manattināl cindikka – meditate in our mind Vāyināl pāḍi – sing His praise with our tongue Tūmalar tūvit – adorn Him with fresh flowers Tūyōmāy vandu – come to Him with purity (in mind, words and deed) Tāyai kuḍal viḷakkan ceyda – one who illuminated the Mother’s (Yasoda’s) womb ĭāmodaranai – the Lord (who accepted Mother Yasoda tying Him with a small rope and hence has the mark in His body) Āyar kulattinil tōndrum – born in the cowherd clan Yamunai turaivanai – one who plays in the bank of Yamuna Mannu vaḍa madurai maindanai – the King of northern Mathura (ever glowing with divine association) Māyanai – one whose acts are inscrutable and mysterious Tīyinil tūśāhum ceppēlōr empāvāy || WORD BY WORD MEANING
