third ten eighth thirumozhi

Summary

A mother is distraught after Krishna elopes with her
fond daughter, leaving her alone. She is concerned about her
daughter's whereabouts and how she would be treated by
Krishna and her in-laws, after wedding, at the new place.
Though the mother is aware that it is the Lord himself
who has abducted her daughter, she is disheartened by
the fact that she can not stay with her anymore.

Purport

Flower in the lotus pond lose its petals & sheen as dews fall on them;
Likewise, my daughter goes away making the house look deserted;
She is seen nowhere; running after Krishna, vanquisher of wrestlers;
Has she crossed into the city of Mathura?

Purport

The cowherds, neither wise nor charming steal others' calves;
Likewise my sweet little daughter gets trapped by Narayana;
who plans and abducts her without any remorse;
Does this action of Him not damage the reputation of the clan?

Purport

Conducting auspicious rituals & bedecking my daughter,the bride;
Seating her in the marriage hall, with all people assembled;
Giving her to DamOdara, the Godhead, will they celebrate by
walking her around fig branch, playing bands & tying festoons?

Purport

I Have a daughter who's admired the world over; Brought her
up like goddess of wealth; lotus eyed Lord takes her away;
will the Lady of repute in AyarpAdi, yasOdA; mother of great
Lord; embrace the bride lovingly and shower her with gifts?

Purport

Nandagopala, Father-in-law of my daughter, embraces her with love;
saying 'don't shy, stand erect, be bold'; he glances at her;amazed
at her fish like eyes, coral lips,lovely bossom, hips,big bamboo
like shoulder; Wonders if her mother is still alive without her.

Purport

Just as hunters and the brave tribes do, would they view
marriage as union of two and ask them start their family
life or would they let all know and give her,in a proper
wedding, to the Lord who smashed the cart-demon.

Purport

Would the Lord of celestial beings, the bearer of conch
find fault with my daughter and make her do menial jobs?
or will He treat her as equal to His other wives;
crown her as 'head' and keep her protected?

Purport

O lady! Son of Nandagopa did nothing befitting the clan's name!
Neither did He walk the path of ordinary folk!
Alas! when my daughter churns,twisting hips & gripping ropes;
short of breath, groaning in pain, her hands would badly hurt.

Purport

My girl having woken up from sleep before dawn, would she be fit
to churn the white curd without falling asleep again?
Red-lotus-eyed, who measured the worlds, might subject my daughter;
to do unrighteous things bringing ill repute to her.

Purport

Taking cue from others & going behind Krishna wherever He goes;
Entering ThiruvAippAdi,a mother tells all that happened there;
Head of cool Srivilliputtur recounts these in ten tamil pAsurams;
reciting them one gets to serve the gem hued Lord
