The young lass now wakes her up
Krishna’s spouse still at rest –
‘ Elephants of might
You could call your own
Hold such prowess
To face a war field’s plight
Oh partner to Nandagopan’s born
‘Nappinnai’, one with fragrant hair
Unleash the fetters
That hold you from this dawn.
The cocks call everywhere
The cuckoos coo on creeper beds, you see
One with fingers so curved for ‘Krishna’ to play
To sing your man’s praise in joy
With the tinkle of your bangles, and hands
Like the lotus flowers so red, undo the doors you may.
2009 Srirangam Andal Alankaaram
