Meaning of Thiruppavai pasuram 20-Muppaththu moovar amarar-ku

When the gopis criticised Nappinnai’s actions, as not befitting her ‘svarūpa’ and ‘svabhāva’ Nappinnai was hurt and remained silent. The gopis then turned to awaken Kṛṣṇa and so they began to wake him up singing His glory. He also kept silent, and the gopis thought that perhaps, Kṛṣṇa Himself might have been angry with them for their rebuking of Nappinnai and, if that were the case, they wanted to pacify His anger by eulogising Nappinnai.   According to Vaiṣṇava theology the Lord possesses absolute justice (nigraha shakti)  while Śrī possess absolute   compassion (anugraha shakti).  The Lord is captivated by her exquisite beauty and grace and responds to her entreaties to temper justice with compassion and to redeem the fallen sinners. The Lord Himself is requested because He is not only the Goal but also the Means to the Goal.
