Describing seeing Him at VrindAvan
From the first pASura ‘tai oru tingaLum’ till the previous pASurAs ANDAL wanted kaNNapirAn's samslESa but could not get it. She lamented over it in all the pASurAs. At last kaNNan comes as she has wished. This pASurAs talks her happiness over it.

Where is that kaNNan who is the brother of baladeva; who wandered about the AyarpADi like a bull making all sorts of mischiefs? The people say – we saw Him in brindAvan grazing the cattle, managing them, watering them and playing with His pals. In paramapada BagavAn is in the lap of tiruanandAzhwAn, under the rod of sEnaimudaliyAr and protected by the garuDAzhwAn – living a life of a prisoner. But here in AyarpADi He is freely roaming the forest, playing with pals and grazing the cattle.

He went away from me making me sad but enchanted the whole AyarpADi by His charming ways making them happy. He always ate butter, ghee etc., and rubbed His hands in His body if He was caught. Did you see this gOvardhana? Yes. He was wearing vanamAla on His dark body and playing with His friends in brindAvan.

His form is enchanting; He deludes people; He is the maNavALan of all the girls of AyarpADi; He is an expert liar. He is seen in brindAvan roaming in the heat protected by the wings of garuDAzhwAn.

kaNNan is dark with beautiful lotus-like eyes. They are like ropes dragging me wherever He goes. It appears as if the dark cloud has two lotuses in the sky. He also looks like an elephant covered with a cloth with pearls stitched on it.

He is Sriyah pati and a precious sapphire to me. He is proud like a boar caught in the net and escaped from it. What is not caught can be caught but what is caught and escaped cannot be caught. He roams freely like a wild boar throughout the length and the breadth of the forest. He roams with shining peetAamBara, a proud young rain cloud spreading His form far and wide.

He is not like Sree rAma who is dharma incarnation. He is mischievous and handsome too. His brows are well curved and beautiful like SArnga bow. He is not easily got even by His BaktAs. Have you seen Him? Yes. With a dark body and red lotus-like face He was seen in brindAvan like the brilliant sun rising on the mountain.
poruttam uDaiya nambiyai puram pOl uLLum kariyAnai

viruttam peridAi varuvAnai virundAvanattE kaNDOmE|| Seven ||
In the last pASura ANDAL said – ‘He is not easily got by BaktAs’. Now she says makes the contradictory statement. How? There are two interpretations – she feels it is wrong on her part to talk of kaNNan like this. Hence she corrects her statement. This interpretation not very interesting. periyavAchchAn piLLai has a different interpretation – ‘He is very good’ ironically will mean just the opposite. This is the same kind of expression. The people say He was like a bright moon surrounded by group of stars. He was seen in brindAvan.

As there are Sanka in the dark sea the dark colored kaNNa has Sanka in His hand. He bears chakra in other hand. One is white and other is red. He wears golden colored peetAmBara. Since He is Sriyah pati He is full of compassion. His thick dark curly hair flow on His shoulders like swarm of intoxicated bees dancing after drinking honey.

He created Brahma and small house for him from His navel. He ordered the prajApati to further create all the worlds. Thus He enjoys the leela viBooti. He destroys adharma in any form to protect the dharma. He is seen in brindAvana.

Sree gajEndrAzhwAn suffered for a long time and cried for the help of BagavAn. He was caught by the crocodile and suffered the pain. Similarly ANDAL afflicted by His separation cries and laments. As BagavAn at last comes to rescue the life of gajEndra so also He comes to rescue ANDAL. Thus the samslESa is obtained by her. Those who meditate on these pASurAs will also get the same result as ANDAL. They will live in paramapada forever doing kainkarya.
