Re: Doubt: thiruppavai song seventeen

From the Bhakti List Archives

Ram Anbil • January 23, 2003 


Dear Bhagavatas:
The generosity of Nandagopan implied in the terms "amparamE thannIrE corE 
aRam ceyyum" relates to how Nandagopa threw open his granery and water 
storages to feed and quench the thirst of his subjects when a famine stalked 
the land.

Since it is Nandagopa who showcased "Emperumaan"  to the world, he is 
characterized as "Emperumaan Nandagopaa" (father of the Universal father?)
THis is what I have heard during Kalakshepams of Acharyas.
