Having entered Nandagopala's palace with the permission
of the guards,the Gopis (Andal) wake up Nandagopa,yashoda,
Krishna and Balarama,panegyrising their greatness.
Nanda has placed his bed near the entrance for fear that
the gopis,like Usha in the case of Aniruddha,may steal
Krishna;especially as Krishna is more handsome than His
grandson! Andal glorifies Nanda as a munificent donor of
clothes,water and food; but we do not come across any such
reference elsewhere.The commentator says:"As Krishna was
seen giving clothes to Draupadi to save her modesty;water
to the chariot horses at Kurukshetra;and food to his
boyhood companions in the forest - it could be presumed
that his qualities were inherited from His father."
But the gopis are not here for these items; they need only
Krishna (VAASUDEVAH SARVAM).Yashoda gave birth to Krishna
only to make Him their husband; and being a woman she
knows their plight.So they next wake her up.
Sri Krishna in his past incarnation as Trivikrama had
obtained Indra's kingdom for him.But the gopis do not
want Him to do any such thing for them.It is enough
if He allows them to do service to Him.Krishna does
not respond.
Realising their mistake in not approaching Him through
Balarama,they do so now and ask him to help them as he
had once done in the case of the gopis separated from
Krishna when He went to Mathura.
